Integrated Plankinton Milwaukee, an Affiliate of Murphy Development Group, & Choice Hotels to Develop New Cambria Hotel in Downtown Milwaukee
Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE:
CHH) has signed an agreement with Integrated Plankinton Milwaukee, LLC,
an affiliate of Chicago-based Murphy Development Group (MDG), to
develop the Cambria Hotel Milwaukee. Expected to open in the summer of
2019, the hotel is the third property to enter the state of Wisconsin,
joining properties in Madison and Appleton.
The four-story, 132-room Cambria Hotel Milwaukee will be located at
503-521 N. Plankinton Avenue in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. The
hotel is near some of the city's major corporations, including WE
Energies, Northwestern Mutual, Harley-Davidson, Aurora Health Care, and
U.S. Bank. The property is also within walking distance to many
attractions, such as the Frontier Airlines Convention Center, Bradley
Center, U.S. Cellular Arena, the Milwaukee Public Market, the Milwaukee
Public Museum, the Harley-Davidson Museum, Discovery World, the
Milwaukee Riverwalk, and the Milwaukee Repertory Theater.
"Expanding the Cambria brand to Milwaukee reflects our commitment to
introducing modern travelers to an extraordinary upscale experience in
urban markets, while providing the amenities to exceed their travel
needs," said Mark Shalala, vice president, development, upscale brands,
Choice Hotels. "MDG will help develop this hotel, their
second Cambria project after developing and opening the Cambria Hotel
Chicago Loop-Theatre District last year, an adaptive reuse above the
historic Ford Center for the Performing Arts Oriental Theatre. Their
ability to deliver a world-class upscale hotel product in high barrier,
urban locations is second to none. We look forward to collaborating with
them on this project in Milwaukee and expanding the brand's presence in
another key Midwest urban market with this great Cambria hotel."
"Tourism in Milwaukee is growing rapidly, and the Cambria Hotel
Milwaukee will be located at the epicenter of business and
entertainment, making it the perfect option for business and leisure
travelers," said John T. Murphy, CEO and principal of MDG. "The hotel's
local design and modern amenities, including an indoor pool, will
delight and impress guests looking to experience the city's culture.
We're thrilled to begin construction on this hotel soon."
