First Hospitality Group, Inc.'s New Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown Hotel Hosts Charitable Event for FUEL Milwaukee

Rosemont, Ill.-based First Hospitality Group, Inc.'s (FHG) new 127-room Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown hotel, formerly The Loyalty Building, hosted a charitable event with FUEL Milwaukee, an economic development initiative of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, to benefit MargaretAnn's Place, a local nonprofit assisting grieving children and teens, on Dec.12, 2012. First Hospitality Group, Inc. President and COO Robert Habeeb made the announcement.

FUEL Milwaukee members attended the group's "Purely Social" event, where attendees donated toys to benefit MargaretAnn's Place. Guests were offered guided tours of the historic hotel, including the lobby, guestrooms, meeting spaces and the atrium. This event was the hotel's second charity event since its opening on Nov. 13.

 "Being part of a community is more than having a physical location ¾ it is about finding opportunities to become involved and give back," said Habeeb. "Our management team at the Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown hotel is focused on doing just that and this event was an example of their commitment to meeting and working with members of the local community."

The Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown hotel recently opened after a nearly one-year transformation from The Loyalty Building, one of the city’s architectural treasures and an original headquarters of Northwestern Mutual Life circa 1886.The historic hotel features 127 well-appointed guestrooms, a 24-hour fitness and business center, complimentary high-speed Internet and 4,500 square feet of meeting and event space. The hotel also offers dining options for breakfast, lunch and dinner at The Garden Grille and Bar™, which provides guests with fine dining in a casual, friendly and comfortable setting. It also features a 24-hour Pavilion Pantry convenience mart, which offers last minute sundries, an assortment of beverages, ready-to-cook meals, fresh salads and sandwiches.
