Hilton Milwaukee has completed renovations on the Monarch Lounge, the hotel's new lobby lounge.

The Monarch Lounge features extensive restorations aimed at reviving the lobby's original art deco feel, including an ornate, 82-foot-long serpentine bar, stone and metal fireplace, several large windows and furniture and fixtures reminiscent of the 1920s. It will also host live jazz piano music in the evenings.

Among the new retro additions, the Monarch Lounge also houses new workstations and an interactive media work area complete with touchscreens, iPads, a magazine stand and printer.

Hilton's Monarch Lounge offers an extensive wine and drink menu, which serves signature cocktails and seasonal drinks in addition to bar-style small plates inspired by both local and international flavors.
