Wisconsin is a state that has a lot of options for travelers. For the budget-conscious, there are plenty of inexpensive, no-frills hotels available. But for those who want the very best, there’s a hotel that delivers much more. The American Club in Kohler is one of the best hotels in Wisconsin and, arguably, one of the best of its kind in the world. Here's what you need to know about The American Club.
advertisement
You’ll find The American Club in the eastern Wisconsin community of Kohler. The village was founded as a company town for the major business based here - the Kohler Company.
The company is a leading American manufacturer of plumbing fixtures, and for generations, it’s been a major employer in Sheboygan County. In the early 1900s, hundreds of European immigrants moved into the area, and the company built a dormitory for them in 1918.
Years later, when the building was no longer in use and needed repairs, a new chapter began. It was remodeled and renovated into a world-class hotel while preserving the property’s beauty. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The hotel has 241 well-appointed rooms – with fine Kohler fixtures, of course. While you might be tempted to stay in your beautiful room forever, there’s a lot to experience at this incredible resort.
This Kholer resort has nine delicious restaurants and four championship golf courses. The property has received numerous awards and accolades, including a Five-Diamond distinction from AAA and a Forbes Five-Star rating.
Book your stay at The American Club on the Destination Kohler website. If you feel like getting out and exploring the beauty of the Village of Kohler, there’s no better way than this delightful carriage ride.
