The Edgewater Hotel is a pleasant surprise in the quiet city of Madison, Wisconsin. While most of this city looks like small town America, The Edgewater has more of a "we've been here" vibe to it.
It's located right on the water with some pretty awesome views of the peninsula. There is a restaurant on the premises with panoramic windows that also offer some amazing views while enjoying a meal.
The rooms are nice, but actually not as nice as you would expect given the beauty of the overall hotel. Rooms are clean and decent size, but not as modern as other parts of the hotel such as he lobby, restaurant and bar area. None the less, my room offered amazing views of the water as well and made for a beautiful sight at dusk.
The bar area is hopping. I was here on a Monday night and the place was packed up until at least midnight. Plenty of seating, a very good wine selection and very large bar.
This is definitely the trendy place to stay in Madison and it's worth it.
