Overview
When Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Marley and even the Dalai Lama visited Madison, they stayed at The Edgewater. This 1940s landmark does everything possible to showcase its prime spot on the banks of Lake Mendota. While the history is illustrious, The Edgewater feels quite new. An extensive renovation and expansion in 2014 revived the original Langdon Building, added a sleek new tower and tons of other amenities.
Edgewater Rooms have walk-in showers featuring rain showerheads from Kohler and refrigerators from Sub-Zero (both Wisconsin-based companies), 47-inch flat-panel TVs, plush robes and coffee makers. Lakeview rooms offer sweeping vistas overlooking Lake Mendota, while Lakefront rooms sit just above the hotel's pier. The hotel's Edgewater Spa features everything from massages and signature facials to yoga classes and fitness training. There's also an indoor relaxation pool and a salon team for customized hair, makeup and nail services.
Guests can start their days with coffee at The Café, have a burger after the Badgers game at Augie’s Tavern or sip cocktails while taking in an evening sunset at The Statehouse. Their Edgewater's culinary team offers modern takes on Midwestern cuisine using unique ingredients while showcasing local and regional purveyors.
A robust events calendar offers gatherings throughout the year including ice skating on the hotel's private ice rink in the winter months along with other seasonal events like an annual holiday tree lighting, breakfast with Santa, Destination New Year’s Eve and the Frozen Assets Festival.

Housekeeping: One hand towel had a large hole and a blackspot. The lake view room has a lake view thru the bathroom window only. No map or instruction for the first time guest to know how to get around between buildings and to the parking structure.
