When the Kimpton Hotel opens its first Milwaukee location in June, it will be named The Kimpton Journeyman.
The name pays homage to the people who spent years honing their craft and then returned home after traveling the world, according to San Francisco-based Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants.
The 158-room, eight-story hotel at the northeast corner of Broadway and Chicago Street in the Historic Third Ward, will be managed by Patrick Gaskin, who has worked at several Kimpton properties, including The Palomar Phoenix, The Solamar in San Diego and the Amara Resort & Spa in Sedona.
