The proposed hotel will feature a rooftop restaurant celebrating the city’s diverse food culture and the project will include a midblock courtyard serving as an outdoor gathering space for hotel guests and local residents. 

The development will also offer more than 10,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 5,000-square-foot “winter garden,” a glass enclosed space that will connect the hotel with the midblock courtyard. 

The first floor will have a full-service restaurant, and the rooftop lounge and restaurant will offer sweeping views of the State Capitol, Lake Mendota and Downtown. The project will include three floors of underground parking. 

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to contribute back to Madison in a significant way,” said Andy Inman, NCG’s chief development officer.
