Winter Travel Push Brings New Life to the Season
Milwaukee will welcome visitors again with its 2026 edition of Hotel Month, a major winter campaign built to boost travel during a calm season. The effort invites guests to explore the city and enjoy strong savings at more than 30 hotels. It also lifts business for local partners during a key need window.
Visit Milwaukee launched the campaign today. Deals apply to travel between January 14 and February 28, 2026. Guests will find 15% to 25% off nightly rates at hotels across the Greater Milwaukee area. Many hotels will also offer packages to add extra value. More than 110 restaurants, attractions and shops will join the effort with their own limited-time deals.
A City That Shines in Winter
Josh Albrecht, chief marketing officer at Visit Milwaukee, said the city stays lively even in cold months. He noted that Hotel Month helps visitors find warm indoor spots, rich culture and clear Milwaukee charm. He added that the campaign brings strong support to hotels, restaurants, breweries and many local attractions.
A full marketing plan supports the campaign. It includes paid digital ads, a social media push and a special partnership with Milwaukee Uncut. There will also be curated winter trip plans, 12 days of giveaways and toolkits for local partners.
Warm Stays After Winter Fun
Brandon Drusch, managing director of The Pfister Hotel and Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel, said winter guests can enjoy both outdoor fun and warm indoor rest. After time on the ice or along the river, visitors can relax in quiet rooms, sip craft drinks, enjoy art or visit the spa.
He praised the city’s 28,000 tourism workers, who welcome guests each season and help shape each stay. Their work plays a key role in Hotel Month and reflects Milwaukee’s growing reputation.
Award-Winning Stays Across the City
Milwaukee earned the No. 3 Best Big City in the U.S. title from Condé Nast Traveler readers for the third year in a row. Several local hotels also earned honors in the magazine’s Readers’ Choice Awards. These include Hyatt Regency Milwaukee, The Pfister Hotel, Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel, and Brewhouse Inn & Suites. These awards show the strong quality available during winter stays.
