The Oxbow Hotel - A Downtown Boutique Hotel with Live Music Venue, Craft Cocktails, and River Trail Access
Located in downtown Eau Claire's historic center, this 3-star Eau Claire hotel consists of two distinct buildings - the 1947 Main House and 1961 Flats - connected by an active courtyard. The property features handcrafted furniture made from local urban wood, record players in every room, and The Lakely cocktail lounge with live jazz performances. Guest accommodations include boutique rooms in the Main House and motor lodge-style units in The Flats, with upper-level balconies or ground-floor patios. The courtyard offers two cut-stone fire pits, outdoor seating, and a designated Kubb pitch. The Oxbow provides complimentary bikes for guests to explore the adjacent 32-mile trail system. Situated where the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers meet, The Oxbow Hotel stands within walking distance of Pablo Center, Phoenix Park, and downtown's independent restaurants and shops. A 24-hour coffee station serves Wonderstate Coffee and Rishi Tea.
Pros
Direct access to riverside bike trails with complimentary bicycles
Live jazz performances and events at the on-site Lakely lounge
Dog-friendly rooms available in The Flats building
Record players and vinyl library add unique character to guest experience
Cons
6 miles distance from Chippewa Valley Regional Airport
Limited parking available on property
“The Oxbow Hotel's downtown location is a plus, especially with the Pablo Center nearby; the art-inspired setting and the chef-driven Midwestern cuisine promise an interesting stay. However, a few reports mention inconsistent service and noise issues, which could detract from the overall experience. Ultimately, it seems ideal for those prioritizing location and a unique aesthetic, but perhaps less so for those seeking guaranteed tranquility.”
