Kohler, Wisconsin, the acclaimed resort destination experience by Kohler Co., today announces the completion of the transformative and equestrian-forward redesign of The Carriage House, an adults-only wellness retreat with direct access to the five-star Kohler Waters Spa. Located adjacent to the renowned American Club Resort Hotel, the adults-only Carriage House introduces a refined, residential aesthetic while deepening its connection to Kohler’s best-in-class 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 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, Strategy & 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.”
The newly reopened Carriage House embraces a more residential feel, now with spacious king-bed guestrooms designed to enhance relaxation and cater to extended stays. The 55 guestrooms feature a calming, nature-inspired color palette, layered materials including wood, leather, and textured fabrics, as well as enhanced natural light, creating a warm aesthetic that feels more like a private retreat than a traditional hotel.
Bathrooms have been redesigned as an extension of the nearby Forbes Five-Star Kohler Waters Spa, boasting premium Kohler products such as soaking tubs, multi-port showers with Anthem digital controls, heated floors and towel bars in select rooms, and refined finishes such as Robern vanities, Ann Sacks tile and fixtures from the Castia line by Studio McGee.
The lobby and public spaces have been updated with new furnishings, lighting, layered textures, and expanded seating to elevate the arrival experience by encouraging guests to linger and connect.
This renovation also celebrates Kohler’s equestrian heritage through curated artwork and custom details, such as large-scale photography by award-winning photographer Drew Dogget featuring horses from Kohler Stables. This imagery, complemented by shots of local landmarks such as Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, anchors the visual experience along with custom-designed elements, ceramic bedside lamps By Paul Schneider, and artisan finishes that further reinforce a sense of craftsmanship and authenticity.
The reopening of the Carriage House represents a key milestone in Kohler, Wisconsin’s broader revitalization, consisting of ongoing enhancements across the destination, including brand new sports and outdoor recreation experiences, such as The Serve, a premier racquet sports facility set to open in the fall of 2026, and Purebred Farm, an upcoming 14-hole golf course under construction as a new part of Kohler’s Blackwolf Run golf complex.
