The Wisconsin Union Hotel is located in the heart of the UW–Madison campus on the top two floors of Union South, a prairie-style building influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, built in 2011. Guests looking for a hotel near Camp Randall can’t beat this on-campus location, just steps away from all the action at the stadium on Badger football Saturdays.

Equally enjoyable for extended stays, business travel, pleasure or family trips, this eco-conscious hotel offers an array of contemporary amenities for working and unwinding. During your visit, you are invited to experience all that Union South has to offer.
