The Knickerbocker Hotel (also Knickerbocker on the Lake) is a low-rise building located in the Yankee Hill neighborhood of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Description

Designed by architects Rossman & Wierdsma in Classical Revival style, the Knickerbocker was built in 1929. It has eight floors and 160 suites with interior decorating styles varying from Victorian to French Country. Situated next to the historic Astor on the Lake, it was intended to be a less refined copy of the building. The majority of the rooms are now owner occupied.
