The American Club historic hotel originally served as a dormitory for European immigrant factory workers for the Kohler Co. in the early 1900s. Recently renovated guest rooms in the hotel’s main building are richly appointed with soothing water experiences by KOHLER plumbing products, fine Egyptian bedding, artistic tile from Ann Sacks and select furnishings from Baker and McGuire.

The American Club is also one of only 36 hotels in the world to boast both Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond designations.

The AAA Diamond ratings started in 1937, to provide improved travel information for members.
