An affiliate of Chicago-based Brick by Brick Capital has acquired the Four Seasons Island Resort, in partnership with hotel operator Life House as the newest addition to its portfolio of authentically-local boutique hotels. The 70-acre property represents both Brick by Brick Capital’s and Life House’s first hotel in Wisconsin and the first of several planned properties across the Upper Midwest.
Originally built in 1905 by the Wisconsin-Michigan Railroad Company, the Resort was a popular destination for visitors arriving by railroad from Chicago looking to escape the city for the summer months. Tucked into the North Woods, the Four Seasons Island Resort is located on Miscauno Island amidst a scenic stretch of the Menominee River, the natural border separating Wisconsin from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
