Holidazzling – How to Host the Hottest Wisconsin Hotel Holiday Party

Now you can learn the simple secret to combining just the right elements with the proper place to create a memorable gathering your guests will rave about. Host your holiday happening at one of these hot hotels and you can expect dazzling results.

Theme

Whether it’s a Dicken’s Christmas, an International Holiday, or Winter Wonderland, choosing a theme will guide you and help make it easy to select your party’s food, décor, and even location. The new Charmant Hotel La Crosse is an ideal locale for a period holiday event. The historic building is a renovated candy factory, built in 1898.  Beautifully restored to its past grandeur (and some say the sweet smell of candy still remains) the ambience of the hotel and surrounding area will lend distinctive charm to your festivities.

Location

It’s the holidays, so people’s calendars fill up fast. You might be competing with family gatherings, neighborhood parties, or community functions for your guests’ time, so giving them a good reason to choose to attend your event may be as simple as selecting the right location.

The newly renovated Milwaukee Marriot West is conveniently situated just minutes from Interstate 94 with access to downtown and General Mitchell International Airport. What’s more, 281 comfortable guest rooms are ideal for those guests wishing to spend some time before or after the party to explore nearby Miller Park, Wisconsin State Fair Park, the Harley Davidson Museum, and more.

Looking for something in Madison instead? Then check out Holiday Inn + Suites Madison West just minutes from the University of Wisconsin, Camp Randall Stadium and downtown Madison. With an indoor waterpark, oversized whirlpool and pool bar, your guests may just decide to have a little after party of their own.

Decor

Crisp linens, gorgeous centerpieces and holiday decorations come together perfectly when the room you’re trimming is already beautiful. Choosing a place that has a dazzling décor — floor-to-ceiling windows, sparkling chandeliers, delightful architectural touches — makes your job that much easier and more fun.

With its rich furnishings and distinctive architecture, The Hilton Milwaukee is a classic art deco hotel built in 1927.  Combining grandeur with elegance, the hotel offers your guests the splendor of Old World style with the amenities and culinary delights of a first-class establishment today.

Food

It goes without saying that the holiday feast must be a culinary dream come true. Working with Chef Ismail Oztas at the Ambassador Hotel, you can create a menu that is globally influenced, using regional and artisanal ingredients. Classic entrees include filet mignon, whiskey bourbon back ribs and pepper crusted yellow fin tuna.

The creative catering team at Radisson Paper Valley Hotel, will be delighted to create a banquet that will appeal not only to the appetite, but to all the senses as well. From classic to imaginative cuisine, they’ll artfully enhances the flavors of each dish prepared, whether for two or two hundred. And, with a new event center being added to the property, options and choices will only continue to expand.

Entertainment

It’s critical to ensure your venue has the space and AV equipment needed to accommodate your event entertainment, whether it’s Santa or a celestial choir. The recently renovated and reopened Holiday Inn Milwaukee Riverfront provides you with free high-speed Internet access and on-site AV equipment in more than 8000 square feet of meeting and event space for as many as 400 guests.  With accommodations like those, even North Pole elves could get in on the act.
