The Edgewater Hotel

The Edgewater Hotel occupies a prime spot on the shore of Lake Mendota, and its event spaces take full advantage of that waterfront setting. The Grand Ballroom features floor-to-ceiling windows framing lake views, crystal chandeliers, and a pre-function foyer with a dramatic staircase entrance that sets the stage for memorable arrivals.

The outdoor pier and lakeside terrace extend the event space to the water’s edge during warmer months, creating cocktail hour settings that are hard to match anywhere in the Midwest. The hotel’s culinary team offers farm-to-table menus that celebrate Wisconsin’s agricultural heritage, and the full-service spa and luxury guest rooms make overnight stays effortless for visiting guests. A dedicated events team manages every detail from menu tastings to floor plan design.
