Stay : Chicago, Madison and Milwaukee, witnesses to the architecture of the 20th and 21th centuries

Advertising

Chicago is undoubtedly the capital of architecture in the Midwest and perhaps in the United States. We come from all over the world to study its fascinating buildings and its private avant-garde houses. Madison and Milwaukee, discrete neighbours, also reserve beautiful artistic surprises that should be mentioned.
