"We love living in our vertical neighborhood at The Loraine. So much so that as our needs have changed, so has our unit. The building is beautiful and has such a special place in Madison history."
- Marilyn & Dan

"What do I like most about living at the Loraine? It's a toss up -- being able to listen to the concerts on the square from across the street; having a head start on the Farmers market; being able to walk to the lake; the fun of State Street; the proximity to the theatre and library; the multitude of restaurants within easy walking distance; being able to go to Barriques for soup or whatever, from the "inside," without having to slip and slide outside in the winter time, and the friendly but non-intrusive residents." -Nan Zion

"I think that it's the character and charm that sets The Loraine apart from other recent and ongoing condo projects. Given the building’s history, the development team did a remarkable job of keeping the tradition and class of the hotel while making the building as inviting as a home. You also can't beat the convenience of the location to everything that downtown has to offer." -David Schweidel

"We chose the Loraine for the various reasons:

1) The building is majestic, not another one around quite like it. It shows pride in its restoration and it reminds us of a good solid old imposing building in New York. It definitely has presence.
2) Location. We are in the thick of downtown living. In the winter we can easily walk anywhere we please without having to deal too much with the weather and during the summer being near the Square with Farmers Market, Concerts on the Square, the performing arts, lakes, bicycling and other events just makes it for us.
3) And to top it off, we have the great advantage of having a coffee-wine- food place without having to get out of our slippers. It really works for us."
-Hernan & Sandy Martinez

"Caring for the herb garden in the Crystal Courtyard is fun. I love being able to provide fresh herbs for my neighbors". -Dorothy

"We enjoy making our second home at the Loraine. We love the location as well as the character and history of the building. We especially like having the coffee/wine shop right down stairs. And the fact that this space used to be Gov. Doyle's old office is the icing on the cake!" -Doug & Vicki Johnson

"I chose The Loraine as my home due to the wonderful heritage of the building, the location and the design of the living units. The staff at The Loraine is extremely friendly and helpful with any matter that you might have. I am extremely pleased to call The Loraine my home."
-Ernesto Ramirez

"The Loraine is so handy to everything downtown. We like its history and think the restoration is beautiful. There's a variety of interests and ages among the residents that gives the place a good energy." -The Weirs
