Kohler, Wisconsin has completed an equestrian-forward redesign of The Carriage House, an adults-only wellness retreat with direct access to the Forbes Five-Star Kohler Waters Spa. The 55-room property, located adjacent to the American Club Resort Hotel, reopens with a residential aesthetic and upgraded wellness offerings.
"This milestone marks another exciting moment for Kohler, Wisconsin as we continue to evolve our offerings for the modern traveler," said Stephen Beaumont, president of Kohler Hospitality. "The reimagined Carriage House reflects our commitment to wellness, thoughtful design, and deeply personalized guest experiences, while celebrating the heritage and character that define our destination."
The guest rooms — now all spacious king-bed accommodations designed for relaxation and extended stays — feature a nature-inspired color palette, layered materials including wood, leather, and textured fabrics, and enhanced natural light.
Bathrooms have been redesigned as an extension of the nearby Kohler Waters Spa, outfitted with premium Kohler products such as soaking tubs, multi-port showers with Anthem digital controls, and, in select rooms, heated floors and towel bars. Finishes include Robern vanities, Ann Sacks tile, and fixtures from the Castia line by Studio McGee. The lobby and public spaces have also been refreshed with new furnishings, lighting, layered textures, and expanded seating.
A Nod to Equestrian Heritage
The renovation leans into Kohler's equestrian roots through curated artwork and custom details, including large-scale commissioned photography by Drew Doggett featuring horses from Kohler Stables. That imagery is complemented by shots of local landmarks such as Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, along with custom-designed elements, ceramic bedside lamps by Paul Schneider, and artisan finishes.
"The Carriage House is a celebration of our equestrian roots, our reverence for craft, and the small details that turn a room into a sanctuary," said Nina Kohler, the strategy and design lead of Kohler Hospitality. "From Drew Doggett's commissioned photography of our Kohler Morgan horses to the thoughtfully designed bathrooms showcasing the people behind our products, every element invites guests into a moment of restoration. This space reflects a broader vision—a Village built on the belief that design can change how we move through the world. These walls carry over a century of history, and they welcome every guest to add their own."
