Kohler Co. on Thursday announced plans to renovate and expand its Inn on Woodlake hotel in the Village of Kohler
The three-story expansion to the hotel, located at 705 Woodlake Road, will include 66 additional guest rooms and suites, a new golf and entertainment center, with an accompanying bar and restaurant.
The expansion will increase the hotel’s room count to 203.
The project will also include the addition of an immersive social hub, to be called Bucks & Birdies Entertainment Center, which will include golf and F1 racing simulators, duck pin bowling, darts, a casual pub/restaurant, and outdoor activities, such as an expanded putting green and live music. The entertainment center will be housed on the main level of the new space and the additional guest rooms will be located on the three floors above. Kohler Co. says the social hub will be designed to appeal to hotel guests and locals.
Exterior improvements to the hotel will include a new entrance, landscaping, tree plantings, and hardscaping – including a stone-paved promenade and patio along Wood Lake.
Demolition to Shops at Woodlake structures to accommodate the hotel expansion is underway.
The Inn on Woodlake, which opened in 1994, will continue normal operations throughout construction. Completion is anticipated in June 2027.
The expansion of the hotel is just the latest improvement project announced by Kohler Co. for its hospitality offerings including a new 14-hole golf course, racquet sports complex and renovation to the American Club, and renovations to Woodlake Market.
“Guests travel from around the world to play our legendary courses at Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, to unwind in the tranquility of our Forbes Five-Star Kohler Waters Spa, and to savor exceptional dining and one-of-a-kind seasonal events,” said Nina Kohler, strategy and design consultant for Kohler Hospitality. “The reimagined Inn on Woodlake and its new entertainment district give us the chance to go further—creating lively, inclusive spaces that bring fresh energy to the resort while fostering a stronger sense of belonging for our guests, Kohler associates, and village residents alike.”
