We had a truly wonderful stay at the Pfister Hotel and felt compelled to recognize the exceptional level of service we received. Even before we arrived, Kristin at the customer service desk set the tone with her warmth and attentiveness. Mia, who checked us in the following day, was incredibly gracious and accommodating—she went above and beyond to assist with a room change to ensure our comfort, which we deeply appreciated. Briana in concierge services, along with the manager, Heather, continued that same level of excellence. Every interaction felt thoughtful, genuine, and focused on making our stay special. We were welcomed with a lovely glass of champagne and later surprised with a beautiful bottle of champagne and a complimentary fruit arrangement in celebration of our 35th anniversary. These touches made the experience even more memorable. This was my husband’s first time staying at the Pfister, and I truly wanted him to experience the outstanding hospitality I’ve come to expect as a returning guest. The team exceeded every expectation. We highly recommend the Pfister Hotel and look forward to returning again.

We had our hotel block here for our wedding in April. The entire hotel ended up being sold out. We had no problem filling our block - the Pfister is iconic. Everything was perfect and went smoothly. The Pifster is also iconic for first look spots - my husband and I got some great photos before our ceremony and they were totally private!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Pfister. We took the train up from Chicago to Milwaukee and found the location and amenities perfect for ours, and really anyone else's stay in Milwaukee. It's old and up to date at the same time. Classic charm with necessary creature comforts. Because of weather we spent more time at the hotel than expected, mainly for cocktails. The bar staff at both the rooftop lounge and the lobby bar are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great experiences at both. Thank you Ryan, Luke and Allison. Can't wait to go back. The room was spacious and very comfortable. All of the staff was very accommodating and friendly. And the setting classic with great architectural features and Victorian art work. Everyone should stay here at least once.

A patron in the room next door, was very loud. We were offered a different room. But the patron we reported should've been removed, honestly. Our 2nd room was quiet. For this kind of Hotel-I would think that a "Loud" patron would not be able to stay. Especially for the price people pay for a room there

Beautiful hotel, kind and friendly staff and food and drink that was as memorable as it was delicious. Make sure to visit Grace at Blu - she made us feel like VIPs. :)

It has been a week since our anniversary and we are still hearing rave reviews. Everyone thought the Pfister was beautiful, dinner was delicious and served efficiently. We can't thank you enough for your attention to details and calm demeanor. We had total confidence that the wedding would go on without a hitch with you at the helm. Thanks again for everything!

We give you a huge 10! The spa, where we had massages, is the best of its kind. The therapists are top notch, the ambiance is perfect, and the rooms wonderfully conducive to the best possible experience.
