Holiday Music Motel - A Historic 1952 Creative Arts Motel with Live Music Venue and Custom Radio Station

Located in downtown Sturgeon Bay's Steel Bridge Creative District, this 2-star Sturgeon Bay hotel stands as Door County's first motel, opened in 1952. Each room at Holiday Music Motel features original vintage decor, Simmons plush-top beds, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and private bathrooms with tubs. The property houses a 24-hour front desk, complimentary WiFi, and a common kitchenette accessible around the clock. Select rooms include kitchenettes with microwaves. The motel maintains its historic neon sign and broadcasts over 1500 original songs created within its walls through its dedicated radio station. Situated 52.5 miles from Austin Straubel International Airport, The Holiday Music Motel places guests within 0.3 miles of local dining options like Inn at Cedar Crossing, Crate Sushi, and Door County Fire Company.

Pros

Houses a unique radio station broadcasting exclusively motel-created music

Maintains original 1950s architectural features and vintage furnishings

Located in the Steel Bridge Creative District's artistic community

Hosts collaborative songwriting retreats and live music events

Cons

52.5 miles distance from nearest international airport

Not suitable for families with children under 5 years old

“What strikes me most is how well this property has maintained its retro charm; stepping inside feels like a trip back to the '50s and '60s, with immaculate rooms and thoughtful details creating a nostalgic atmosphere. The location, a couple blocks from downtown and a block from the bay, adds to the appeal, especially with food trucks conveniently nearby; this is a quiet, distinctive spot that clearly prioritizes guest comfort.”
