The Spotlight on Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

Stay in the Heart of Milwaukee’s Music Scene


Modern comfort meets Midwest charm at the Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown. Set in a historic building just over a mile from Marquette University, this 3-star hotel brings you close to Milwaukee’s vibrant downtown—perfect for catching a show without straying far from your room. With clean, contemporary rooms, friendly service, and perks like free WiFi and a rooftop pool, it’s a smart, stylish base for any music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Steps from major venues like Pabst Theater, Riverside Theater, and the Marcus Center, this hotel is an easy walk or quick rideshare away after the encore. Despite its central location, guests often mention how quiet and restful the rooms are—ideal for post-show recovery. The 24-hour front desk adds flexibility for late arrivals, and the hotel’s downtown spot makes getting around late at night a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a lively weekend close to the action
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime concert
  • Couples turning a show into a romantic getaway
  • Fans who want somewhere quiet and comfortable to crash
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want great extras

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up pre-show or recover post-show with a buffet breakfast offered daily—even after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar. Plus, vending machines are available anytime for midnight cravings. With downtown Milwaukee all around, you’re also within walking distance of plenty of local eats and late-night bites.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things mellow, you’re just blocks from some of Milwaukee’s best live music bars and lounges. Whether you’re after a craft cocktail or a divey after-party, you won’t have to go far. The hotel bar is a solid option for a nightcap in a relaxed setting.

What People Say

Reviews often highlight the superb downtown location, clean and spacious rooms, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests love the rooftop pool and hot tub, especially after hours on their feet. Many also appreciate the value for money, especially with amenities like breakfast and WiFi included.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel excels in comfort and location, parking isn’t free—and some guests mention it can be a bit pricey. Also, those looking for an ultra-trendy vibe may find the decor more classic than cutting-edge. Still, it’s a solid pick for convenience and comfort.

The Bottom Line

If you’re coming to Milwaukee for the music, Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown hits the right notes with its location, comfort, and concert-night convenience.

Very good

Liked: Breakfast and cocktail hour was great!
Disliked: I had reserved a double queen room and called the hotel twice to say we were arriving late and asked that our room not be given away. When we arrived only a single king room was available and we had to use a cot that took up any extra space indoor room.

Enjoyable stay from beginning to...

Liked: We liked everything about our stay here. We were greeted and checked in by the sweetest girl, Angel. She lived up to her name. Her friendly demeanor and helpfulness were a good first impression. Glenn was another front desk employee who was an asset to the company with his friendliness and willingness to solve a problem. The room was nice and comfortable. The food was a real surprise and treat. The breakfast was hot and plentiful with REAL scrambled eggs, sausage patties, breakfast potatoes, biscuits, gravy, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, plus all of the other things you find at a typical complementary breakfast buffet. What we weren't expecting was their happy hour! One night it was a taco bar with all of the fixings, another night it was pulled pork sliders with Mac and cheese, coleslaw, beans and salad, and another night it was chicken Alfredo and salad. Every night offered a different soup, hotdogs, chips and queso, and baked potatoes. To accompany all that, we were treated to 3 adult beverages as well. We saved a lot of money on meals while we were there! The manager (?) was present at the check in desk when busy, and in the dining room every morning bussing and cleaning tables. He was visible, busy, helpful and friendly. We were pleased with this hotel from the time we checked in until the time we checked out.
Disliked: I have no suggestions. They are doing everything right.
