Built in 1927, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center opened for occupancy in February of 1928 as the Hotel Schroeder, boasting 850 guest rooms. During prohibition the hotel was a gathering spot for many speadeasies. In 1933, when prohibition ended, the Lorraine Room featured the city's longest bar, the 82 foot Serpentine Bar, and served beers brewed locally - Miller, Pabst, Gettelmen and Schlitz. In 1972, the hotel was sold and took on the name of The Marc Plaza.
