Wisconsin Dells Welcomes New Dellshire Resort Scheduled to Open in 2026
The Dellshire Resort, poised to become the first new resort in Wisconsin Dells in decades, is set to open its doors in spring 2026. This project aims to boost local employment and attract visitors from around the country to the renowned tourist destination.
Recently, a significant construction milestone was celebrated during a topping off ceremony, marking the progress of the resort that spans 48 acres at the address of 2255-2325 Wisconsin Dells Parkway. The development is spearheaded by Virginia-based Uphoff Ventures, with financing handled by JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group, which is working alongside a private lender and utilizing a commercial property assessed clean energy (C-PACE) lender.
The Dellshire Resort will consist of 208 rooms, including nine suites, accommodating families and business travelers alike. Facilities planned for the resort include six indoor and outdoor pools, with attractions that promise to captivate guests of all ages, such as a 60-foot fire-breathing dragon and an augmented reality attraction.
A Family-Friendly Destination
The resort aims to fill a significant market gap for family-oriented accommodations in the area, which is known as the “Waterpark Capital of the World.” Each year, Wisconsin Dells sees around 5.5 million visitors, and the Dellshire Resort is expected to enhance the appeal of the area even further.
Additional amenities at the resort will include two restaurants with a combined seating capacity of 350 guests, various bars, retail shops, and a meeting space designed for up to 280 guests. A key feature of the resort is the 9,000-square-foot family entertainment center, which will provide a range of amusement rides and activities for children and families.
Construction Logistics and Timeline
The construction of Dellshire Resort is managed by Kraemer Brothers, a Wisconsin-based firm. The project is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2026, paving the way for a luxury-themed, four-story hotel that emphasizes both comfort and entertainment.
By strategically situating itself near major urban areas such as Chicago and Minneapolis, the Dellshire Resort is expected to benefit from a steady influx of visitors looking for leisure and business travel options.
Conclusion
With the Dellshire Resort’s commitment to providing a unique and family-friendly experience, alongside its modern amenities and engaging attractions, it stands poised to become a significant addition to the already thriving tourism economy of Wisconsin Dells.
