You’ll delight in the styles of a time personified by the fashions of the flappers, the new music of the Jazz Age, and the casual camaraderie of speakeasies.   The Hotel Retlaw is an elite, luxury hotel, where the aesthetics of the iconic property remain, but a new element of a contemporary luxury hotel can also be found.   The hotel features a fine dining restaurant, a coffee shop, exercise facilities, and a spa. Located in the heart of downtown Fond du Lac, the hotel offers easy access to local shops and is attached to a new offering in the area that has a similar, Roaring Twenties theme.   Call 833-473-8529 and ask for the 120321WIR  (WI Roofing Contractors Association) room block.  Standard King rooms are available at a rate of $120/night + tax.    The cutoff date for making reservations is November 4, 2021.   We cannot guarantee availability after that date, though available rooms will be offered at the WRCA rate.
