Business Sector, Community Call for Luxury Hotel in Downtown Fond du Lac, Wis.

While the city of Fond du Lac, Wis., only has about 43,000 residents, it remains a corporate business hub to the area.

Companies such as Mercury Marine, Alliance Laundry and Agnesian HealthCare have their headquarters in the area–but the city didn’t have a luxury hotel to service the business and leisure sectors.

Until now.

Legendary Hotels is refurbishing the historic Hotel Retlaw. “The city is a hidden gem from a corporate business standpoint. There are lots of corporate headquarters in the region,” said Dennis Doucette, a principal-partner at Legendary Hotels. “The business community wanted a luxury product downtown.”
