For the past two years, the St. Andrew's Society of the City of Milwaukee (the oldest charitable organization in Wisconsin) has hosted our annual Robert Burns Banquet at Embassy Suites to celebrate the National Poet of Scotland's birthday near January 25th. We chose Embassy Suites for access to the atrium for a bagpipe and dance presentation, their spacious meeting room and prep rooms for our pipers and dancers, available rooms for attendees to stay overnight, and the outstanding service that Claudia and her team gave us. We will be returning to Embassy Suites for our 2026 Robert Burns Banquet and are already looking forward to it.
