Nestled in the heart of central Wisconsin, The Inn at SentryWorld stands as a distinctive hotel, offering a singular sense of place. Positioned on a world-renowned 18-hole golf course, the property exudes sophistication and provides breathtaking views, featuring meticulously designed accommodations with private balconies that maximize natural lighting. The visionary touch of Swaback Architects + Planners, PLLC, adds a layer of architectural finesse to this unique establishment.

Upon arrival through a porte-cochere entry, guests are welcomed into a space that transcends mere accommodation. The hotel features two restaurants, a bar, and the Library Café, complemented by banquet hall options for diverse events. A comprehensive array of amenities includes a fitness center, kids’ club, outdoor sports facility, tennis and pickleball courts, a golf simulator, and an indoor driving range.

Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, the interior spaces pay homage to the iconic architect. Furnishings inspired by his grid-block designs, coupled with a celebration of the Midwest’s rich history through local art, vintage photography, and murals, create an ambiance that seamlessly blends sophistication with regional identity.

Craftsmanship and handmade elements, thoughtfully contributed by regional artisans, enrich the hotel’s finishes and align with a dedicated commitment to sustainability. The interiors, characterized by a residential feel and adorned with locally sourced art, foster a profound sense of identity and community ties. The Library Café, designed to resemble a library, curates a collection of books focused on local art and design, further enhancing the cultural tapestry of the establishment.

The Inn at SentryWorld distinguishes itself through collaborative architecture, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to luxury and authenticity. A remarkable addition to the community, the hotel celebrates the golf course and stands as a luxurious and unforgettable destination for travelers seeking a distinctive experience in the upper Midwest. The interior spaces, paying homage to Frank Lloyd Wright, underscore the uncommon association with SWABACK, whose founder was the esteemed architect’s youngest apprentice, bringing a unique and historic dimension to the hotel’s design narrative.
