The American Club, built in 1918 and a member of Historic Hotels of America® since 1994 was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Historic Hotels of America is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation® for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across America.
The American Club was founded in 1918 by former Kohler Co. President Walter J. Kohler, Sr., to provide lodging and respite for immigrant laborers who worked at Kohler Co. After great pains were taken to maintain historic features of The American Club's main building, today the hotel is recognized as a Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond hotel. The baths are outfitted with the modern amenities from Kohler Co., and The American Club's distinguished hallways display antiques from the town's varied history. Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, four world-class golf courses designed by Pete Dye; a 500-acre nature preserve, and the Kohler Design Center all ensure an experience like no other. It is truly an American Original.
