It’s the American Club in Kohler, or the sister hotel in the shopping area nearby. The AC is amazing, and the restaurants are good; the Immigrant Room is the priciest. The spa is quite nice.

The hotels in Milwaukee are mostly just okay; the classic Milwaukee hotel is the Pfister.

Going up the lake is nice but will add a fair amount of time to your trip if you go much more north than Sheboygan. There is a fabulous restaurant in Sheboygan, Trattoria Stefano.

There is the big resort in Elkhart Lake, gorgeous and well-appointed because of the racetrack there. It’s called The Osthoff. EL is a charming little town. Then you would continue west on Hwy 23 and then go north at my old (non-interesting) town, Fond du Lac. Same road if you stay in Sheboygan or Kohler.

Have fun!
