IRON HORSE HOTEL: MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN COOL LUXURY BOUTIQUE HOTELS. HARLEY-DAVIDSON CUSTOM BIKES, MUSEUM.

One of the perks of travel TV hosting is that you get to stay in some spectacular hotels. During my shoot for my new Huff Post Travel TV show, I was graciously hosted by the Iron Horse Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The boutique hotel got everything right, from the stylish lobby to the rain dome shower heads in the rooms. They even laid out free green apples, like The Orlando in West Hollywood!

Formerly a century-old warehouse by the railroad, the décor’s now fit for a rock star — with zebra-striped carpets and a Harley-Davidson in the lobby.

The spacious parlor has traces of the Iron Horse’s history, such as nails from the railroad track.

(My gorgeous leather tote is gifted from GUNAS. I also wore it in this shoot.)

I want this mirror.

Perhaps you recognize the outfit; I also wore it to the opening cocktail party at Luisaviaroma.

Travel hosting tip: eat a huge healthy breakfast. Film shoots can go for twelve hours without a break, so fuel up. My Iron Horse breakfast was spot on: egg white and vegetable omelet, fruit, rye bread. And coffee from the Keurig machine (there’s one in every room!)

The Iron Horse hotel is a stone’s throw away from Milwaukee’s Harley-Davidson museum. There are often special events. That day, bikers showed off their rides and hung out at The Yard, the outdoor restaurant and bar.

I was surprised at how much I liked Wisconsin. I felt perfectly calm; it was a much-needed break from the city action of Hong Kong, Macau, Tokyo, Italy and LA.

I wish I had more time to take in the architecture.

Nearby: graffiti of Nintendo ghosts. They match my lurid nail art.

Thank you to the Iron Horse Hotel — I’m not exaggerating when I say you’re one of the top 5 hotels I’ve ever stayed in. How I wish I could order another round of the signature kumquat cocktails!

The hotel’s featured in my Coolhunting Wisconsin travel show for Huffington Post. Have you seen the first video yet? Your likes, shares and comments will let me continue to do this TV show for you… so please take a second to support here!
