Relax & Recharge
The Monarch Lounge
The Monarch Lounge, located upstairs from the ChopHouse, offers the perfect place to relax, work, or socialize inside the Hilton Milwaukee. Designed to reflect the hotel’s original 1920s art-deco style, the well-appointed lounge area provides a spacious and comfortable setting for an after-dinner cocktail. Celebrate your visit with a selection from our impressive wine list, a signature martini, or a local beer. Then, settle in near the stone and metal fireplace and relax for the evening.
