In a world of endless playlists and instant streaming, there's something special about slowing down and going back to the basics.
At the boutique Hotel Goodwin in downtown Beloit, Wisconsin, every guest room features a turntable and curated vinyl collection. It’s one of the distinctive details that invites guests to unplug, unwind and experience music – and their stay – a little differently.

Vinyl Revival: More Than Just Music
Vinyl has made a remarkable comeback, and it's easy to see why. Streaming gives you convenience, but vinyl gives you presence.
Choosing an album, sliding it from its sleeve, setting the needle and listening from beginning to end turns music into experiences. It's a simple ritual that encourages you to put down your phone, settle in and enjoy the moment.
A Boutique Hotel with Personality
Every detail at Hotel Goodwin is designed to be distinctive. Inspired by the historic Goodwin House, our boutique hotel blends timeless architecture with modern luxury, featuring eye-catching artwork, glass showers, oversized windows in select rooms and in-room turntables that make every stay memorable.
It's this thoughtful attention to detail that helped earn Hotel Goodwin the prestigious One MICHELIN Key distinction.

Your Stay, Your Soundtrack
Enjoy a glass of wine before dinner at Velvet Buffalo, get ready for a night on the town or simply unwind in your room as vinyl sets the perfect mood. Guests are even welcome to swap records at the front desk and discover a new favorite during their stay.
Hear the Difference
At Hotel Goodwin, luxury is found in the details, and sometimes, it starts with the crackle of a record.
