Whenever my husband and I stay in Milwaukee, we stay at the Pfister. We have been staying there for short jaunts since we were married in 1988. It is a beautiful and very historic hotel. It is perfectly located in the heart of the city. The staff is ultra professional and hospitable. We are never disappointed. The view from the... more

The Pfister Hotel is an old, beautiful magnificent hotel. The rooms are on the small side, but are very nice. Attended a wedding and reception there, and the ballrooms were perfect for that. The food was great. And we loved the location. We stopped in at the Blu Bar later at night. It was billed as "a good place to... more

Beautiful!

I just returned from a weekend at The Pfister and had a great time at the hotel. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. It's very well decorated. The service was excellent! The room was very clean and the shower was splendid. The water was almost immediately warm. My spouse accidentially left the wedding band on the room and when we returned... more

The Pfister Hotel is a gem of a hotel in a gem of a city. We were there in summer, so I can not attest to the winter, but this was a very fun place and the hotel made it all the better. The rooms are a bit small, but the hotel is in a great downtown landmark building, close... more

Our fourth trip to this hotel. A quick one night stay as we were in Milwaukee for the state fair. Had just spent a week in a Wisconsin northwoods cabin w/ not so big not so comfortable beds. At check in I inquired about any upgrade possibilities and/or paid suite availability. Upon a quick review the desk clerk with the... more

We stayed 3 nites at the Pfister. It was a lovely hotel, right in the heart of dowtown. It's in walking distance to the River walk, Historic Third Ward and the Art Musuem. The Museum building itself is extraordinary. The hotel has a nice exercise area. The lobby lounge is comfortable for a nightcap. The bar on the 23rd floor... more

This is a beautiful old hotel with modern amenities. The location is great. You're close to the river walk with many bars and restaurants but you can walk around the block and there are also several restaurants. A short taxi ride to most places, including the convention center and the lake (with museum- very cool). We made the mistake of... more

I am so pleased to read how much you enjoyed your time with us. Your comments echo the sentiment we hear so often of guests to our city that find so much to do on our lakefront and in the local area. Join us again soon in Blu, our rooftop lounge, as we share the best views in Milwaukee!

If you are going to stay anywhere in the city, you need to stay at the Pfister. It's in a great downtown location close to everything (and in Milwaukee you need that). It's also in close promixity to the lakefront and the festival grounds, art museum, local theather district and local night spots. The hotel itself is beautiful and the... more

Be prepared to be swept off your feet, but that's what you pay for. Top-notch staff from Concierge to Pianist - don't forget to tip! Expect to pay $15 pp in The Grill for breakfast, $15 for a Chivas at the bar, and no fridge, micro or internet in the room. Parking is $25/day, but you don't really need a... more
