For generations, The Edgewater set the standard as Madison's premier destination for elegance, service, and authentic hospitality. Throughout its 65 year history, The Edgewater hosted business travelers, university guests, weddings, meetings, and even celebrities and dignitaries such as Elvis Presley, Harry Connick, Jr., Kurt Cobain, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, and many others.

This extraordinary property, completely modernized, and renovated in 2014, boasts over 45,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, right on the shores of beautiful Lake Mendota. The preserved façade of the old hotel, combined with entirely new interiors, restaurants, a spa, and the addition of a new hotel tower and a one-acre public plaza, make The Edgewater the most versatile and desirable venue for events of all sizes, from a brunch for eight to a banquet for 500.
