The Fess Hotel is a brick hotel building in Madison, Wisconsin, two blocks east of the capitol, begun by George Fess in the 1850s. Its exterior is noted for unusually intact 19th-century architecture, and it was operated by the Fess family until 1972. It is a Madison Landmark, listed in the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
