Your Guide to the Coziest Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts in Wausau
Stewart Inn
A historic and luxurious hotel that combines elegance with a traditional bed and breakfast experience. The Stewart Inn is a beautifully restored 1906 Prairie-style mansion, designed by George Maher, a founding figure of the American Arts and Crafts movement and a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright. Featuring original chandeliers, sconces, decorative fireplaces, and stained-glass windows, the Stewart Inn is considered one of the best-preserved examples of Maher’s architectural style. Staying at the Stewart Inn allows you to relive a story, and it offers you an idyllic experience that’ll make you come back again. We love how every part of this Inn is intentional; from the preserved mosaic fireplace to the original bathroom fixtures!
Jefferson Street Inn
Located 2 blocks from the Wisconsin River, the Jefferson Street Inn is a key spot in downtown Wausau. With warm rooms, impeccable service, and the acclaimed restaurant, CHAR Grillhouse, the Jefferson Street Inn is a beloved stay for families and visitors alike. We love this place for its convenient location and timeless feel.
Inn at the River
The Inn at the River is situated on a private 20-acre parcel on the Eau Claire River. Entering the front doors, you are immediately enveloped by a warm and cozy feeling. Freshly cooked breakfast served daily, inviting hosts, and breathtaking views, this inn is truly a unique stay in the area. We love how each stay here is tailored to your liking, and it is the perfect place for a couple’s getaway.
LaQuinta Inn & Suites
The most casual stay on our list, the LaQuinta Inn & Suites, does not fall short on any amenities. Its prime location right off US-51 North allows direct access to restaurants such as 2510 and Chop-Stix. The hotel has newly renovated rooms and is our most versatile pick. The LaQuinta is wonderful for families and traveling guests. We especially love their glass-encased indoor pool area that gets prime sunshine.
