Get a Feel for the Bay View Area and Our Guesthouse
Kinn Bay View 360º Virtual Tour
Our 8-room guesthouse is the first of its kind in Bay View. If you’re not familiar with our concept, guests describe us as the ideal hybrid between a micro boutique hotel and a more residential style rental. Still not sure what that is exactly? Well…
Bay View’s Shops & Fun Stops
There is no shortage of places to explore, literally outside the doors of our guesthouse. From eateries and coffee shops to tattoo parlors and brewhouses, Bay View is home to one of the area’s most diverse cultural scenes. Preview of a few of the local faves.
Our Building’s Storied History
What began as a meeting hall for the local Stone Masons chapter evolved into a mixed use building, including the home of a Chinese restaurant and child care facility before the Bailey family converted this gem into a new local relic.
AT KINN DOWNTOWN, WE MAKE RESIDENTIAL SEEM PRESIDENTIAL
Or is it the other way around? Actually, it’s both. We’ve poured our heart and soul into making sure every one of our rooms is the right mix of glam and fam. Here, you can kick back after work, shopping, and venturing! We promise you will feel right at home. For example, our private baths with walk-in showers and Waterworks® fixtures, appointed art from locals, Brooklinen® bedding, comfy Omaha mattresses, Apple TV, access to our fully stocked chef’s communal kitchen, and more.
The Inspiration for Our Guesthouse Concept
What do you get when you combine a family’s history and passion for hospitality, a street name, and the abbreviation for a native word that means “mixed”? You get Kinn, a one-of-a-kind hotel experience that perfectly mixes the eclectic style of a boutique hotel with the amenities and down-home feeling of a residential rental property. Learn more about the inspiration behind our unique approach to hospitality and why we chose Milwaukee as the perfect place to start this adventure.
