Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel Illuminated at Night in Milwaukee

Saint Kate Hotel during the 2024 RNC
Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel in downtown Milwaukee stands out at night with its signature red neon signage and alternating blue-and-red window lighting. Opened in 2019, the hotel is known for merging hospitality with contemporary art, housing rotating exhibitions, installations, and performance spaces curated by local and national artists. Located at the intersection of Kilbourn Avenue and Water Street, the building’s design blends early 20th-century architectural elements with a modern artistic identity. The reflective wet pavement and illuminated façade echo Milwaukee’s growing emphasis on creative redevelopment in the city’s cultural and theater district, positioning Saint Kate as both an art destination and a community hub.
