Holiday Music Motel

Thank you for your interest in the Holiday Motel, the most unique place to stay and play in Door County! Built in 1952, the Holiday is Door's first-ever motel. Renovated in 2008 using exclusively environmentally-friendly building materials and practices, we offer our guests a clean, comfortable place to stay with retro charm and modern amenities. Steps from the bay and the city's finest shops, restaurants, and night life, the Holiday is the place to stay in the heart of historic downtown Sturgeon Bay. We take great pride in going the extra mile for our guests, and our competitive rates, fantastic location, delicious complementary continental breakfast, free parking, and picnic and campfire area make the Holiday one of the peninsula's very best values. Our attention to detail ensures that your room is always cleaned to the highest of industry standards. Brand new carpeting, wildly comfortable pillow-top mattresses, plush linens, luxurious hypoallergenic polyfill and down pillows, lounge chairs, over 70 premium cable channels on flat-screen televisions, full four-piece bathrooms, and retro print blackout drapes over Southern-facing windows that actually open to let in sunlight and bay breezes lend our rooms unbeatable comfort. They're convenient, too, with refrigerator/freezer combos in each room, free local calls from your room phone, radio alarm clocks, writing desks, visitor guides, and, in certain rooms, coffee pots and microwaves. But cleanliness, comfort, and convenience only go so far without charm, so our friendly and sunny motel features original 1950s furniture and tiling, paintings and glass fixtures donated by local artists, great music playing in our public spaces, a cozy lobby where guests can pass the time with one of the many books, magazines, or instruments we have on hand, and a quaint little diner with seating and a coffee pot, microwave, toaster, refrigerator/freezer, and dishes and silverware all available for guest use 24/7.

Aside from our service as Sturgeon Bay's premier motel, the Holiday is also an integral fixture of the local music scene. From open mics to house concerts to songwriting marathons, the Holiday often plays host to live performances by incredibly talented artists from around the world. Musicians often stay in our guest rooms while writing and recording music in our on-site recording studio with the Holiday's in-house Grammy-nominated sound engineer. Hundreds of songs have been written, recorded, and mastered at the Holiday motel. The works of local fine artists are showcased on our walls, and our events utilize the arts as a vehicle by which we are able to connect visitors to and members of our community.
