Welcome to the Governor’s Mansion Inn. Our historic boutique hotel is located in beautiful downtown Madison, Wis. on the shore of Lake Mendota. We are in the Mansion Hill district just a short walk to the State Capitol, to the State Street shopping district and the UW Madison campus. We have a range of guest rooms to suit a variety of lodging needs and price points along with complimentary coffee and scones each morning.
