The Potawatomi Hotel & Casino is set to open Monday, August 18th and was unveiled to the media this week. 


The hotel features 381 rooms, the property’s newest restaurant, Locavore; a lobby bar and lounge; a coffee bar featuring local brewer Stone Creek Coffee; more than 12,000 square feet of new meeting space, and refined furniture and fixtures throughout.
Upon arrival, guests will see a lobby lined with pillars that replicate large trees and leaf canopies. Far above the lobby, a complex lighting system featuring approximately 3,200 LED nodes can create different patterns, movement, and shows from the ceiling.
All standard rooms are equipped with an energy-saving intelligent thermostat, a flatscreen television, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. One presidential suite, taking up a large portion of the hotel’s 19th floor, boasts views of the Milwaukee skyline. It is the city’s largest and most expensive hotel suite with close to 3,000 square feet, which includes an 800-square-foot patio. A spa-like master bathroom includes a Jacuzzi.
“Our first goal is to provide our guests with the absolute best experiences we can deliver,” said Potawatomi Hotel & Casino director Hassan Abdel-Monei. “We want to meet and exceed the expectations for service our guests have during their stay. We want to set the standard, not only in the Milwaukee market, but the tribal hospitality industry.”
The hotel is smoke-free and green, and includes a number of environmentally friendly features integrated into the property’s design, such as the use of recycled products and materials during construction, the incorporation of energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design strategies; an innovative storm water management system; the use of native plant species in the landscape design; and other measures to aid the environment and control long-term costs. The hotel has applied for LEED status.
Two walkways on the first and third floors provide direct access to all of the casino’s entertainment and dining options. These include nearly 3,000 slot machines, 100 table games, a 1,350-seat bingo hall, six additional restaurants, and the one-of-a-kind, 500-seat Northern Lights Theater.
