Fodor's Expert Review Hotel RED

Across the street from Camp Randall Stadium, where the University of Wisconsin–Madison Badgers football team hosts home games, Hotel RED is also a quick walk to downtown Madison. Each room is decked out in pops of red and yellow—plus modern art and red-glass sinks—against an urban-chic gray-and-white palette. Sleek kitchenettes add to the convenience, and some rooms have a balcony. Ingredients used to craft small plates at The Wise, its ground-floor bistro, represent a tour of 45 Wisconsin farms. During the warmer months an outdoor patio coaxes passers-by with couches and roving bartenders.
