Front Burner
New addition to the Menomonnee Valley
Milwaukee may be home to motorcycle maker Harley-
Davidson, but hogs are not the only reason for the new Iron
Horse Hotel's name. A former bedding warehouse on the
south fringe of downtown, the hotel is set alongside a
working freight rail line—the original "iron horse." And
although it's on the periphery, the hotel is anything but
marginal. Beneath 300-year-old heart pine ceiling beams and
iron chandeliers fashioned from motorcycle gears, Brew City
hipsters swill cherry-infused Old-Fashioneds in a two-story
lobby lounge that looks like it was accessorized by a
Hollywood set designer channeling Pretty Baby—think
vintage wire dress forms, velvet pillows, and Oriental rugs.
