Lighting the Way: Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit Hotel Begins to Transform the Skyline
The Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit Hotel is the centerpiece of the project's second phase and will become the tallest building in Beloit upon completion. Designed as an 18-story luxury destination, the hotel will redefine the city's skyline and create a new landmark visible to travelers entering Wisconsin along I-90/39.
Hotel Project Highlights
18-story luxury hotel tower
312 guest rooms, including premium and VIP suites
Luxury spa, lobby bar, and rooftop restaurant and lounge
Part of a 1.2 million-square-foot destination development
Hotel and convention center scheduled for completion in 2027
While casino operations are expected to begin in 2026, the hotel will serve as the signature feature of the development, bringing expanded hospitality, entertainment, and convention opportunities to the Beloit region.
PieperPower Helping Bring the Vision to Life
As the largest project in the Janesville office's history, PieperPower is delivering the complete electrical package for the Ho-Chunk Hotel, providing the power, lighting, technology, and life safety systems that will support hotel operations and enhance the guest experience.
The team's scope includes:
Building-wide electrical power distribution
Guest room automation and energy management systems
Fire alarm and emergency communication systems
Distributed antenna system (DAS) technology to enhance campus-wide communications
Architectural, decorative, and exterior lighting
Specialty systems, including FAA obstruction lighting and lightning protection
Power for hospitality, food service, and facility equipment throughout the property
From the guest arrival experience and luxury amenities to the rooftop dining venue and exterior lighting displays, Pieper's work will help power many of the features that make this project a premier destination.
When completed, the Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit Hotel will stand as one of the largest and most recognizable developments in southern Wisconsin, creating a lasting impact on the Beloit community and skyline.
Below is a conceptual rendering of the completed hotel as it may appear to travelers entering Wisconsin from Illinois. The project's distinctive lighting design will help create a memorable first impression and establish the hotel as a new Beloit landmark.
