This elegant hotel has beautiful lake front view. Its location is conveniently walking distance to both downtown Capital and UW-Madison campus. The hotel room is very clean and comfortable. The hotel has two buildings, the main hotel building “Wisconsin building” and the adjacent Boathouse “Landon building”. Must request your room in the “Wisconsin Building” in your reservation!

Beautiful layout facing the lake. The fraternity building backyard views were bad and should be blocked with a taller fence or trees? The hotel property was otherwise beautiful. Thanks

The Edgewater is a bit unusual in that you enter on the 6th floor & your room can either be up or down. Because it includes two buildings, it can also be a bit confusing how to navigate the physical space. Staff is very helpful in this regard. We appreciated the amenities & the lake view was great. We particularly enjoyed the opportunity to eat on an outside patio at the Statehouse & the food was excellent. The bluegrass concert on the patio was icing on the cake.

A stay at the Edgewater is always a pleasure, but service in Augies has been disappointing. Disappointing enough to stay at a different hotel. This year was amazingly different. We knew within the first 5 minutes something had changed, and we did see bar staff from last year still worked there. We were greeted with a smile the minute we sat down, the service was fast and friendly and the staff seemed to enjoy being there. They greeted everyone cheerfully and offered recommendations, they were polite and friendly. Great job to everyone on the Augie’s team. We will be back.
