the city’s first choice for business and leisure travelers. The current
changes underway will provide guests with more amenities and
conveniences to make their travel experience easy and fun, while
offering high-level service guests expect when staying at our hotel. We
are very thankful to be a part of the community and downtown Madison,
and we look forward to continuing to maintain our excellent reputation
as Madison’s leading hotel,” said Skip Harless, general manager.
All 240 spacious guest rooms and suites will be renovated with a fresh
new design, inspired by the vibrant university community. New features
and amenities include brand-new bedding, stone-topped furniture, and
state of the art 55” smart TVs. All double rooms will be converted to
two queen beds, and king rooms will be updated with rejuvenating walk-in
showers. All rooms will receive exquisite new tile surrounds and double
headed showers for a soothing and calming wellness experience.
The lobby will be completely transformed to include a free-standing
services desk for a more personalized check-in experience. Additionally,

caffeine boost from the Starbucks® coffee kiosk or travel
friendly foods to cure hunger day or night.
Harless said the renovations also include reimagining the hotel’s food
and beverage options to better meet travelers diverse dining
preferences. “In late April, we will say farewell to the longstanding
Capitol ChopHouse. In its place, we will create the city’s most unique,
one-of-a-kind private event space. To be called The Liberty Room, the
event space features the historic façade of the Madison Catholic Diocese
building first established in 1938, and will serve as a gracious and
elegant gathering space for weddings, private events and important
meetings. We are very excited to unveil this intimate and exclusive
meeting and event space at a key location in the heart of Madison’s busy
capital city center.”
The Liberty Room will feature a seasonal outside patio, 1,900 square
feet of event space to accommodate up to 125 guests, a pre-function
area, and private street entrance with valet and self-parking available.
An exciting array of culinary selections will be available, ranging from
interactive food stations to elegant, customized four-course meals using
only the highest quality local ingredients. The Liberty Room is expected
to open by August 1, 2019 and the Hilton Sales Team is already accepting
reservations at 608-260-2363.
Additional food and beverage renovations include reconfiguring Olive
Lounge into The Audrey Kitchen & Bar. Named after Audrey Munson, who
modeled for the statue on the dome atop the State Capitol building, the
new restaurant will offer a collection of classic and progressive
cocktails, alongside a menu of lighter fare, tasty shareables and
after-five entrees. Executive Chef Jeff Orr has designed a diverse menu
of comfortable favorites infusing world flavors.
Additional renovations include maximizing the event space in the 14th
floor Capitol Club and the Hilton Honors members’ lounge, as well as
updates to the pool and fitness areas.

one of the preferred destinations for guests visiting Madison. As time
evolves, so do travelers’ preferences. With these renovations, we are
excited to create new and fresh experiences for our guests and local
residents to explore,” said Gregory S. Marcus, president and CEO of The
