The Edgewater Madison

For generations, The Edgewater has set the standard as Madison's premiere address for elegance, service, and authentic hospitality. The Edgewater is an iconic destination that defines the true character of Madison. Throughout its 65-year history, The Edgewater has hosted business travelers, university guests, weddings and meetings, celebrities and dignitaries - from Elvis Presley to Bob Hope, Elton John, Bob Marley, and Sammy Davis Jr. Whether from down the block or around the world, all of The Edgewater's guests experience its beautiful location on the shores of Lake Mendota, the finest accommodations and facilities, and the most obliging and dedicated staff.
