Best Western Premier Park Hotel

The Best Western Premier Park Hotel claims the distinction as Madison’s only Capitol Square hotel, occupying a prime position directly on the Wisconsin State Capitol grounds since 1871. This historic property offers group organizers an unmatched downtown location with immediate access to government offices, State Street’s bustling pedestrian mall, and the heart of Madison’s business district. The hotel underwent a complete renovation in 2016, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that blends historic charm with contemporary amenities across multiple floors of guest accommodations.

Large groups will find exceptional event capabilities with over 14,000 square feet of flexible meeting space designed to accommodate gatherings from intimate 5-person meetings to grand celebrations of 500 guests. The centerpiece Hall of Wisconsin ballroom spans 5,208 square feet and features adjacent conference rooms for breakout sessions and additional activities. Professional event management staff coordinate every detail from catering arrangements to audio-visual requirements, while the hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar provide convenient dining options without requiring groups to venture off-property for meals.

The property’s Capitol Square address places groups at the geographic center of Madison’s attractions and business corridors. Within walking distance, attendees can explore the Wisconsin State Capitol building, browse unique shops along State Street, or conduct business in nearby government offices and corporate headquarters. The Cinema Salon spa provides relaxation services for groups seeking wellness amenities, while the heated indoor pool offers recreational opportunities.
