The American Club

Highlights
The American Club Hotel, built in 1918 as accommodation for newly arrived immigrant workers, The American Club was reborn and opened in 1981 as a Five-Diamond Star luxury property. With a deep respect for the past, we continue to artfully reinvent for the future. A landmark that meets small village warmth with lush gardens, historic details, and fireplaces that crackle year-round. The property is located one hour drive north of Milwaukee and 2.5-hour drive north of downtown Chicago. Every guest room is unique, yet they all delight with thoughtful amenities and gracious touches that are signatures of Kohler's world-class luxury.
