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

Old-fashioned charm and elegance predominates at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. I live in Chicago and just drove up for the day with my Mother to visit family who were in town, staying one night at the Pfister. The Pfister is one of those hotels that is a landmark in its town and has retained its grandeur, even as the... more

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, delicious and reasonably priced food (especially breakfast) , great swimming pool. What a gem! more

I wasn't expecting much since as the conference booked a block of rooms at three hotels downtown Milwaukee. However, for $109 a night, this hotel was possibly the greatest deal I've ever had. It blew a four diamond hotel on Michigan Ave in Chicago out of the water. Spacious rooms, adequate fitness center, fantastic staff (my only issue was a... more

Had a lovely one night stay in this hotel. Very elegant with superb service. We enjoyed the indoor pool as well as the hotel bar. Our room was excellent, and we really have no complaints about the hotel. It's fairly expensive, but you get what you're paying for. more

My Fiance and I booked a weekend trip to Milwaukee to get away from wedding planning for a few days. The Pfister was offering a great deal - for less than $100 a night we got a room, parking and a $50 dining credit for the Hotel's restaurants. The hotel is basically two buildings - there is the 'old' part,... more

As others have noted, the Pfister is an old-style hotel in downtown Milwaukee. The lobby is beautiful and management has clearly tried hard to maintain the original grandeur of the hotel. I stayed in the Tower section, which others have warned is not as nice as the older part, but I was only there for one night and didn't mind.... more

Was very much looking forward to my stay at the Pfister. Unfortunately, I never got the chance. They waited until the day before, then moved me to another hotel becuase they were overbooked. Unless the number of rooms in the hotel changed yesterday, there is no excuse for this kind of unprofessional crap. more

Wonderful classy hotel with beautiful decor (and a lot of it!). The room was fine. Nothing over the top, but clean and comfortable. Beds were soft and nice. Service was friendly and helpful. Location can't be beat. The martini bar BLU is very nice and has a great view of the city. We had a package deal that included breakfast.... more
