Hotel Verdant — Downtown Racine, WI

Hotel Verdant is a LEED Gold–certified eco-luxury boutique hotel in downtown Racine's Monument Square, opened in 2023 in the former Zahn's Department Store building, with 80 Scandinavian-inspired rooms, the hearth-fired Italian restaurant Marguerite, and Eave, a rooftop garden cocktail bar overlooking downtown and Lake Michigan. One of only two LEED Gold hotels in Wisconsin, it pairs upscale hospitality with intentional sustainability, plus a 24-hour fitness center just steps from the Racine Art Museum and the lakefront.
