Victorian Village

Victorian Village: Commercial Hotel Architecture

Located in the heart of Elkhart Lake, Victorian Village is a shining example of Commercial Hotel Architecture that blends historic character with modern hospitality design. Distinctive Design Studio was tasked with honoring the heritage of this beloved property while introducing updates that support today’s travelers and the long-term success of the business.

Our approach focused on retaining the hotel’s architectural charm while upgrading spaces for improved efficiency and guest experience. Guest rooms were designed to balance comfort and functionality, offering a welcoming retreat for visitors. Public areas—including dining spaces, gathering lounges, and event venues—were planned to foster community, maximize flexibility, and strengthen the hotel’s role as a destination within Elkhart Lake.

Durable finishes, efficient layouts, and thoughtful circulation ensure the property operates smoothly for staff while providing guests with seamless hospitality. Exterior details and site planning highlight the hotel’s lakeside setting, reinforcing its connection to the community and natural surroundings.

As specialists in commercial hotel architecture, Distinctive Design Studio delivers projects that enhance both brand identity and guest satisfaction. Victorian Village demonstrates how careful design can breathe new life into a historic property while securing its relevance for years to come.

This project expands our hospitality portfolio across Wisconsin, showcasing how strategic architecture and design create experiences that are both memorable and marketable.
