Nothing refreshes a room like PURE. The 7-step purification process treats every surface, including the air, removing up to 99% of pollutants. PURE’s leading air-purification system protects from airborne irritants, and eliminates odors at the source, leaving our hotel suites smelling fresh and clean. PURE’s unique, hypoallergenic mattress and pillow encasements provide soft, breathable coverings to protect them even further.

Read below for more information on the 7 step process of Pure Rooms:

1. Deep Clean Air-Handling Unit. A PURE heating and air conditioning unit results in healthier air circulating throughout the room. Coils are deep cleaned and disinfected using PURE’s advanced treatment. And finally, an enzyme-based drip-pan tablet is in place to ensure maximum protection.

2. PURE Tea Tree Oil Cartridge. Tea tree oil is a natural substance known for its antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. A cartridge of this tea tree oil is installed in the air-handling unit to maintain sanitized conditions.

3. Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning. Our patented PURE clean solution is used to maximize the removal of dirt, bacteria and mold from all soft surfaces that traditional cleaners leave behind.

4. One Time Shock Treatment. This advanced shock treatment destroys nearly all of the mold and bacteria in every nook and cranny of the room, removing any lingering odors caused by these and other contaminants, including but not limited to cigar or cigarette smoke, pets, or other unpleasant sources. The result is a fresh, crisp, environment.

5. PURE Shield. This bacteriostatic barrier is applied to all room surfaces to repel microorganisms that cause illness and discomfort, and prevent their growth. Our advanced shield process makes it nearly impossible for bacteria viruses to survive in a PURE environment.

6. Air Purification System. PURE’s air purifier is 24-hour defense against airborne irritants. Listed by the FDA as a Class II Medical Device, PURE’s state-of-the-art system is proven to kill 98% to 100% of bacteria and viruses.

7. Allergy-Friendly Bedding. PURE’s personal protection continues with micro-fiber, mono-filament mattress and pillow encasements. These hypoallergenic fabrics feature tightly woven and reinforced seams to act as a barrier against dust mites and other contaminants, providing an extra layer of effective protection, in a soft and breathable form

According to a survey conducted by the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “83% of travelers surveyed indicated that they would prefer an allergy-friendly room if provided that option.”

PURE Room has been featured in over 500 publications worldwide, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, as well as numerous television broadcasts.

You might be familiar with the $5 martinis served on Fridays at Metro Lounge in the Hotel Metro, 411 E. Mason St. It’s all well and good for people watching from the big windows facing Milwaukee St.

Now elevate that ambition just a little bit. In fact, head to the rooftop to Zen on Seven – the kind of rooftop bar you thought existed only in Los Angeles. Most people don’t know Zen on Seven is open year-round for private parties, but admittedly it’s better in the summer when the public can take in the view or the waterfall. The outside should be ready when the weather is. There are green details, from the teak benches and comfortable couches to the bamboo flooring and recycled glass tile inside.

Wake-up call: Opening times for Zen on Seven are a little tricky, because it is booked for private parties first and open to the public when there isn’t such an event. It closes at 10 p.m. on weeknights and “turns into a pumpkin at midnight” on weekends, said general manager Sue Kinas.

Amenities: Zen on Seven stretches from the south side of the roof around past the indoor saltwater pool.

Lake Superior Whitefish Recipe

From its inception, Hotel Metro has maintained a passion for protecting and respecting the earth’s gifts.

Chef Justin Johnson has emerged as a strong proponent for the local movement reaching out to local farms and ensuring that his menu offerings are not only delicious and well-prepared but are both humanely and conscientiously raised with the respect they so richly deserve.

“It’s amazing—isn’t it—this stuff that just grows out of the Earth.”

When you walk into Hotel Metro for dinner you will be given the menu, wine list and of course our nightly specials which have been expertly crafted by our chef and sous chef. On the second page you will find our wine by the glass list, and here are some cliffs notes of how it reads.

If you like Pinot Grigio try these:

Hopler Gruner Veltliner, Burgenland, Austria
Colosi Sicilia Bianco, Sicily, Italy

If you like Chardonnay try these:

Terradora di Paolo Falanghina de Irpinia, Campania Italy
La Tunella “Selenza” Tocia Friulano, Colli de Orientali Friuli, Italy

If you like Pinot Noir try these:

Sattler St. Laurent, Burgenland, Austria
La Mano Mencia, Bierzo, Spain

If you like Cabernet Sauvignon try these:

Michele Torino Don David Tannat, Cafayate Valley, Argentina
Two Angeles Petite Sirah, High Valley, Lake County, California.

There are some explanations on the first page as to how to figure out what the grape is on the glass list and the categories are a bit more detailed. So if you are adventurous and want to try something completely different but in a familiar style, stop by and ask for me.

I have also put together a classic cocktail menu, these drinks are the rage all across the country, which is filled with stories about the origin of them. As an example did you know that during prohibition Gin was made with what are now called the “aromatics” to cover up the heinous nature of the beverage. Remember alcohol was prohibited and the methods used to make the stuff were less than ideal.

The creation of “bathtub gin”, literally made in a bathtub, was so bad that covering it up with tonic, lemon juice and orange juice was the only way it was in the very least palatable, thus creating the cocktail. I have so many more stories (that are definitely more raunchy, just ask me how the term graveyard shift came to be) so please stop by!

In addition I have put together a comprehensive scotch list that has almost all the distilling regions of Scotland represented, well my birth name is Fraser one of the largest and most powerful clans in Scotland, so I feel compelled to pay homage to the rich and fascinating history of the distillates of Scotland.

In these pages I will alternate between talking about our current promotions and whats new and exciting on the wine list. I will also write some fun and educational….. wait, fun articles on various wine topics so keep checking back.

I look forward to being your host and sommelier at Hotel Metro Milwaukee!
