Belmont Hotel, Historic high-rise hotel on Capitol Square, Madison, United States
The Belmont Hotel rises twelve stories high with neoclassical architectural elements, featuring distinct materials that form a classical column design pattern.
Built in 1924 for approximately $400,000, the Belmont Hotel sparked legislative debates that led to height restrictions around the Wisconsin State Capitol.
The hotel marks an important period in Madison's growth when increased tourism, government activities, and university expansion created demand for lodging facilities.
The building contains 200 efficiently designed rooms, originally priced between $2.00 and $3.00 per night, with shared bathing facilities to maximize space usage.
The construction of this fireproof building influenced Wisconsin Supreme Court decisions regarding building height limitations near the Capitol, setting precedents for future development.
