Our first stay at The Pfister was one we won’t forget! It is a wonderful historic hotel with all the amenities in a great location, convenient for parking and walking all over the city. We were greeted very warmly by Brian upon our arrival and found our room to be quite lovely. We enjoyed awesome views and service at the bar on the 23rd floor in the evening. The piano player in the lobby/main floor bar was a nice touch. The artwork on the walls, the artist in residence, and the architecture make this a very special place. It is grand, yet comfortable. You won’t be disappointed!

The Pfister staff, especially Brian in the front of the house helped make our little weekend getaway to Milwaukee so enjoyable. From the warm greeting upon our arrival, the wonderful room accommodations, and all the hotel has to offer! You can have both new and old historical in one hotel!! Such a gem in Downtown Milwaukee and within walking distance to the third ward and many other hot spots. Keep up the good work!! Will be back again for sure!!

I recently completed a business trip where I was a guest at the Pfister Hotel, a must see destination in Milwaukee. The rich history abounds throughout the building, the attention to detail and the fabulous employee's made for an outstanding conference for me and my associates. Total class from registration to departure, conferences, meals, accommodations.

First stop on a multi-city tour and it was the best of the trip. Upon entry to the hotel, you can “feel” the difference, before you experience it. It is just several degrees better than what you’d previously thought was the best hotel you’d stayed at. Professional, and gracious staff. Grand interior that still feels welcoming and relaxed. Fabulous city views from 23rd floor bar - BLU. Small, yet significant touches like rich linens and robes and an umbrella in your room. The Cafe breakfast is a delicious start to the day. Easy walks to sports arenas, Riverwalk, Public Market.

The only reason I came to Milwaukee was because I'm trying to get to all 50 states and had not yet been to Wisconsin. What an unexpected treat! The Pfister was a real gem! It was beautiful and elegant and in a perfect location. The people who work there couldn't have been nicer. We went to the pool, the gym, checked out the restaurant, sat by the fire and had a drink, and enjoyed the beauty of the lobby and the artwork on several floors. The rooms were very comfortable and elegant, too. I would recommend this hotel and a trip to Milwaukee to anybody!

Throwback establishment with timeless style. It's like a "Night at the Museum!" Perfectly located in downtown Milwaukee. I was able to walk to most of my appointments. On site dining and nightlife. There was a great musical trio for entertainment.

Landmark hotel building with courteous and professional staff. I stayed here during a conference & found this hotel has everything you need or could want in a hotel. Room was clean and pleasant to use. Everything worked properly. Excellent downtown location. The hotel is worth touring just to view the artworks. A “one of a kind”experience.

Absolutely a truly iconic hotel. My room was beyond comfortable and the staff is so tentative. Service like this hardly exists anymore! They have a wonderful pool and lots of great restaurants on site. It is in a perfect location- close to theaters, the lake and the river walk. D’Marco at the bell desk is awesome! I can’t wait to come back and stay again!
