The American Club
About The American Club
History-Built in 1918 as a dormitory for male immigrant employees of Kohler-The American Club was reborn in 1981 as a 5 diamond destination resort hotel.It retained its historic richness as well as storybook charm and a single level of quality that comes with everything bearing the Kohler name. When Kohler Co.began building its new factory in the area now known as the Village of Kohler-Wisconsin-Immigrants from Austria-Holland-Germany-Russia and other locations far arrived looking for work.The challenge Kohler Co. soon realized was helping those workers find housing in what had previously been 21 acres of farmland.Believing a worker deserves not only wages but roses as well-Walter J. Kohler and Kohler Co. undertook an ambitious project to house immigrants for just 27.50 a month-including a private room-laundry service and three meals per day.In 1918 single immigrant workers began calling The American Club home.Along with a pub-bowling alley and barbershop-The American Club also offered lessons in American citizenship and English language.Decades later when the building was no longer needed for housing and was in need of major repairs.Herbert V. Kohler Jr. conceived the idea of an elegant village inn.When The American Club was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 there was no turning back.In 1981 this American icon was reborn as a world-class destination preserving the history while continuing to promise the single level of quality that remains a signature of Kohler today.Guests come from around the world not only to stay in the hotels 241 rooms but also golf at 4 award-winning Championship courses-eat at 9 distinctive restaurants and rejuvenate at the Forbes 5 Star Kohler Waters Spa-one of only 85 spas in the world to claim that distinction.This legacy of unparalleled hospitality has earned The American Club a 5 Diamond distinction from AAA.It is our ongoing commitment to delight all guests with gracious service and unforgettable experiences.

AMAZING stay, can't wait to come back!!

We were given the wrong room number. Key worked, went in and someone else’s things were there. Elevator didn’t work. Had to walk up 2 flights of stairs. Most of the staff was excellent. Front desk woman was not nice at all. We were told they would give us a room credit but so far that hasn’t been done. Maybe if you are a golfer you get better treatment. It’s a beautiful, very large, very spread out facility.

We booked through Hotels.com, which cause a lot of strife once we arrived at The American Club. This is an amazing place, book directly through them to save yourself a considerable amount of unnecessary hassle. It's a destination hotel, we highly recommend it.

This hotel is everything you are looking for in a get-away upscale hotel. The welcome by the staff is first class, concierge was so helpful with reservations for the spa and restaurants. Make sure you have time for the spa and spend time at the "lake". With several restaurants to choose from, you cannot go wrong! We tried 3 restaurants and loved each one. This is a one stop place for relaxing and getting away.

Lighting near steps , corridors should be brighter to make it safer, particularly for seniors. More rooms with walk-in showers. Vertical toilet paper holders, their location not user friendly.
