Knickerbocker on the Lake has refined the art of hospitality in Milwaukees dynamic business district. By combining turn of the century charm, exceptional guest service and unique rooms and suites, we have become the premiere hotel on the Lake! Built in 1929, the Knickerbocker on the Lake retains its original charm with vaulted ceilings, terrazzo floors and chandeliers in the lobby. Each of our rooms is uniquely decorated with its own kitchen and some suites have breathtaking views of the Lake Michigan.
