Meetings at The Edgewater Hotel

Vision and Views. On The Water.

The Edgewater Hotel is Madison, Wisconsin’s foremost hotel and conference center. With a central location, elegant venues, the finest food and unrivaled rooms, the Edgewater is the perfect place for your next meeting or conference.

A Centrally Located Meeting Space

Located on the shore of Lake Mendota in the heart of Downtown Madison, we’re within walking distance of the city’s most popular attractions – State Street, UW-Madison campus, The Capitol Square and so much more. Your meeting attendees will love being able to get out and explore all that our city has to offer.

The Edgewater today, after an expansion and renovation in 2014. The original tower, on the right, retains its Art Moderne style features, while newer elements, such as the Langdon Tower, left, blend with other nearby architecture.

Of course, The Edgewater is a Madison attraction in its own right, and our historic property, with its sweeping views of the lake, exciting events, amazing restaurants, gorgeous spa and elegant rooms means that your guests can find everything they need without ever leaving the hotel.

Multiple Meeting and Conference Venues

The Edgewater isn’t your average convention center. With over 14,000 square feet of indoor space, seven breakout rooms, multiple ballrooms and four special event spaces, our property can be configured to support an event from 8 people to 800. Our venues include the The Grand Ballroom and Terraces, The Madison Room, The Mendota Ballroom, The Red Crown Club and The Sky Bar. Special events can also take place at The Boathouse, The Plaza, The Pier, The Ice Skating Rink and The Ice House, depending on the season.
