Milwaukee Mile

The Milwaukee Mile is the oldest, continuously operated race track in the world. It is the track’s pedigree of world class racing and history that has brought the best of Indy, Stock and NASCAR racing to Milwaukee. For guests staying at the Doubletree Milwaukee Brookfield hotel, the Milwaukee Mile offers a chance to witness some of the best car racing in the world. Located just nine miles away from the track, the Doubletree Milwaukee Brookfield offers spacious rooms and comfortable accommodations.

Built in 1891 as part of the Wisconsin State Fair, true auto racing debuted in 1903, eight years before the famed Indianapolis 500 Races began. Since its opening, the Milwaukee Mile has seen some of the biggest names in racing history zip around its track: Ralph DePalma, Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Rusty Wallace and Jeff Gordon to name a few.

Of course, over the years the track and surrounding facilities have improved. The track itself, which started as a dirt track, was paved in 1954 and has been repaved numerous times since. The surrounding grandstands have been improved and expanded; now 40,000 attendees can watch high speed racing with comfortable seating. And thanks to these improvements, a number of Milwaukee hotels have popped up around the track, including the Doubletree Milwaukee Hotel.

The Milwaukee Hotel offers guests a chance to relax before or after an event. Comfortable, plush Sweet Dreams® beds soothe guests, while high-speed Internet access keeps guests connected with the outside world. In the mornings enjoy fresh coffee with an in-room coffee maker, or order breakfast in bed with room service.
