Schulte Hospitality Group

Backed by one of the strongest private real estate developers and operators in the Midwest, Lokre’s (lokre.com) new hospitality concept, bantr (https://www.bantrrothschild.com/), transforms the rigid and isolating housing model of yesterday into a flexible community-driven experience for today. 

bantr is one of the first developers in the country to operate a hybrid hotel apartment building successfully.

We recently took over what was formally the Grand Lodge Hotel and Waterpark and opened a second 140-room location with Wausau’s first rooftop bar and restaurant. We currently have five locations in Wisconsin, with a couple more under construction. We are scaling the concept to be a national hospitality brand. 

Our thoughtfully engineered apartments and hotel rooms are expertly furnished with everything you need to move in, whether alone, with family, or with friends. Some of our shared spaces include:

• Lounge areas
• Co-working facilities with private offices
• Conference rooms
• Fitness studios
• Chef’s kitchens
• Laundry rooms with entertainment
• And a rooftop bar and restaurant

We create tangible value for our tenants and a vigorous environment within the building. We get to know our tenants/guests and host community events based on interests. For example, if 20% of the building likes yoga, we’ll bring in a local yoga instructor to teach classes. We have large conference rooms, a beautiful courtyard where weddings occur, and other unique spaces for rent, increasing corporate hotel business.  

You will work directly for the Founder & CEO and grow with the company. This position is initially for our presence in the Wausau market.
