Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Luxury without the formality
We’ve had the good fortune to stay in many wonderful hotels throughout the world, but the Pfister has to be in the top three. It’s spectacular without being pretentious, and the staff is top notch. Also, the food and drinks are delicious!

The luxury of a grand historic hotel updated with modern amenities
We love the Pfister Hotel! The elegant lobby has a warmth that is easy to relax in, especially in the winter with a fire burning in the grand fireplace. We enjoyed morning coffee on the sofa with our books and in the evening cocktails with live piano music. The walls showcase an extensive art collection and we spent time walking through the hotel to view them. If you ask, the concierge will give you a write up on each painting and their location. It was easy and fun to never leave the hotel during our stay, especially since it was January and bitter cold outside! We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Mason Street grill, followed by live jazz music up in the Blu Room with an amazing view of the lake and city. The Pfister staff are friendly and helpful. We felt well taken care of. We have been staying at the Pfister for over 10 years and are happy to notice their continual renovations with new mattresses, updated bathrooms and interior design in the rooms. So although being in the hotel feels like a privileged experience of a grand moment in history, it’s updated with modern luxuries

Beautiful Historic Hotel
The hotel is not only historically beautiful, but the staff are who makes it beautiful. My room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bloody mary’s the next day were made to perfection. The food in The Café was delicious!

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.
