Brewhouse Inn & Suites

Where:Milwaukee, WI

In the land of beer and brats, the Pabst Blue Ribbon Factory was reborn asThe Brewhouse Inn & Suitesin 2013. The once-shuttered plant celebrates its history with visual flourishes, from the front desk made of 1,500 Milwaukee–based beer bottles to the gigantic copper kettles hanging in front of a restored, stained-glass window depicting King Gambrinus, the patron saint of beer, in the five-story atrium. All 90 guestrooms, built around the old brew tanks, include headboards and tables made from wood salvaged during the renovations. Next door, the former mill has been turned into Jackson’s Blue Ribbon Pub, which serves Wisconsin fare like fried cheese curds and, of course, PBR on tap.
