For families (and, oddly, business travelers) looking for the best Wisconsin Dells mega-resorts, the mid-range Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is a strong contender. With 756 guest rooms, indoor and outdoor water parks, an indoor theme park with a bowling alley and mini-golf, nine restaurants and bars, a full-service spa, family activities like cookie decorating, and free passes to the Tommy Bartlett's Thrill Show, the Kalahari offers a complete vacation. African safari is the theme and the hotel brings in lion and tiger cubs on weekends for photo ops. The downsides here are the usual suspects of long lines, maintenance issues in the rooms, a resort fee, and hordes of overstimulated kids. The nearby Chula Vista Resort is a bit more refined and includes an outdoor river walk and hot springs swimming pool.

Opened in 1918 as a dormitory for the Kohler company’s immigrant employees, The American Club is a luxury hotel that's part of the Destination Kohler development, with access to a full-service spa, health club with tennis courts, a seasonal lakeside beach, pools, hot tubs, and plenty of other activities. Elegant rooms and suites include Old World details, and high-end Kohler bathroom fixtures; some have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. From an Irish-style barn to an 88-seat theater, there are numerous grand meeting spaces on-site plus excellent on-site dining that includes a farm-to-table restaurant. The hotel's classical romance appeals to couples looking for a weekend away, though it's popular for groups attending events as well.

The Bella Vista Suites is a mid-range hotel across the road from its own private pier on Lake Geneva. The prime location comes with a slightly upscale vibe and a beautiful outdoor terrace facing the lake, but the suites here aren't particularly modern. All have kitchenettes and private balconies though, with some adding perks like in-room whirlpool tubs or fireplaces. The hotel also has an indoor pool and hot tub, along with a full spa, but there's no restaurant, bar, or breakfast offered. For that, check next door at the historic Baker House, or the nearby Harbor Shores on Lake Geneva, which has slightly cheaper rates.
