Saint Kate, a hotel and arts center owned by Marcus Corporation, is located on the corner of Water St. and Kilbourn Ave. in downtown.
Before the hotel opened, our A&E editor, John Schneider had a chance to talk with the hotel's performing arts director, John Price, and visual arts curator, Maureen Ragalie, about the vision of arts component of the hotel. You can read that story here.
In the six months since the hotel opened, they've debuted a newly formed resident theater company, opened a visual art exhibit by New York artist Lisa Beck and premiered a documentary.
The hotel offers five unique drinking and/or dining spaces. We've written about all of them here and took a closer look at the swanky steakhouse, The Dark Room here. Plus, we talked to the hotel's executive chef, Aaron Miles.
