A New Entry For Your Motorcycle Diary

Where: 500 West Florida Street [map], Milwaukee, WI, United States, 53204

Attention Hog Lovers. The upcoming Iron Horse Hotel will be one of the first ever "modern luxury" boutique hotel geared towards motorcycle enthusiasts.

Originally, an industrial warehouse the Iron Horse has been transformed into a 102-room hotel with a location in downtown Milwaukee right near the new Harley-Davidson Museum.

The rooms will have the ever-increasing standard hotel amenities such as complimentary WiFi, iPod docking stations, flat screen TVs and 24-hour room service.

But since the hotel is devoted to motorcycles, hog enthusiasts will appreciate the extra care for their babies such as:

Secured covered motorcycle parking, rag bins, an on-site bike wash, packed saddle bag lunches, road trip, maps and in-room storage areas for boots, helmets and heavy riding leathers.

The hotel also wants to attract other road warriors, business travelers, with upscale tastes as it notes its proximity to the Midwest Airlines Convention Center and with its list of business amenities such as wireless internet, meeting space, business center and fitness facilities (so you can stay in shape on the road we guess) which includes The Boiler Room, of hot tubs and chilling pools. Not a den of aggressive sales men.

The hotel is scheduled to open early summer 2008 and we're guessing room rates will be around $300, judging from the "modern luxury boutique" description. If you can't wait until then, check out the Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge in North Carolina. The place even has WiFi.
