Madison is a laid-back, outdoorsy city wrapped around five lakes, with the Wisconsin State Capitol at its centre and cycle paths, beaches and green parks stretching along the water. There’s plenty going on too, from lively farmers’ markets and independent restaurants to galleries, live music and university buzz. Of the hotels here, The Edgewater is our standout choice, with a brilliant Lake Mendota setting, stylish Art Deco interiors, a lovely spa and waterfront dining. It’s a great choice for soaking up Madison’s best bits without giving up a little luxury.
