When it comes to hosting a meeting, location isn’t just about geography—it’s about convenience, accessibility, and the overall experience for your attendees. In Madison, Wisconsin, you can plan your event in a city where everything truly is just a few steps away. Due to The Madison Concourse Hotel’s convenient, central location, you can meet, and then explore—all on foot.
Steps from the Capitol, Connected to the City
Our hotel is located right in the heart of downtown Madison, just one block from the Wisconsin State Capitol and pedestrian thoroughfare, State Street. That means your attendees can enjoy inspiring Capitol views from our Governor’s Club Lounge by day and stroll the square for local dining, shopping, and entertainment by night. With no need for taxis, rideshare, or complicated transportation logistics, meeting in Madison is as easy as walking out the front door.
State Street: A Built-In Offsite Experience
Looking for an informal offsite or some free time fun? Madison’s iconic State Street connects the Capitol Square to the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus—and it’s packed with locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, museums, taverns, cafes, and boutiques. Whether attendees want to grab lunch or a cup of coffee, take a scenic walk, or explore the city’s culture, it’s all within walking distance from the hotel.
Stretch Your Legs Between Sessions
Meeting rooms and breakout spaces are important, but so is time to recharge. Madison offers natural walking escapes like the lakeshore path at nearby Lake Monona or the UW campus’s Lakeshore Path along Lake Mendota. Your group can take advantage of fresh air and lake views without ever stepping foot into a vehicle. Madison is also known for its vast green spaces as there are many public parks in the area where you can take a quick, relaxing stroll by the lake or even put a blanket out for a picnic.
Built-In Convenience for Meeting Planners
When everything is close by, meeting logistics become easier. Want to plan a dine-around on the Capitol Square? No shuttles needed. Looking for live music after your sessions wrap? Just follow the sound—it’s likely coming from King Street, Breese Stevens Field, or the Memorial Union Terrace. Your attendees will appreciate the freedom to explore, and you'll love the simplicity.
