Went for an overnight with some girlfriends and we all got relaxing massages. I had Laura as a masseuse and I honestly have to say that was the best massage I ever received. I cannot say enough about the wonderful facilities and amenities of the Pfister. Love coming here and will definitely be back!

The hotel is full of old world charm. There is an abundance of authentic artwork throughout the hotel. The blu lounge on the top floor has spectacular views of Lake, Michigan, and downtown Milwaukee. They have a great knowledge of cocktail preparation and detail. The rooms were clean, the bed is very comfortable, the bathroom, marble and tile, lovely views out the upper floor hotel room. The restaurant, Mason Grill on the hotel property had one of the most delicious steaks I have had and the lobster was delicious as well. Hotel parking was on the lower levels of the new hotel wing and was very easy to get to be at the hotel elevator. Overall, an excellent hotel operation. I hope to return in the near future.

The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. Amenities are nice and staff is all very friendly. The food options available inside the hotel are all good and then there are plenty of options within walking distance.

It really gives me great pleasure to write this review of the Pfister Hotel - "The People's Palace." While the hotel is a gorgeous, elegant old style hotel, it has every amenity and has been thoughtfully renovated with modern needs in mind. I stayed in the old section of the hotel and it was every bit as well equipped as the new tower. The Pfister's location is right on Wisconsin Avenue, about equally distant from the Baird Center to the west and the Milwaukee Art Museum to the east. One thing you shouldn't miss is the Pfister's High Tea located in the Blu Restaurant on the 23rd Floor. Served with grace and charm, the service is fantastic and the view is outstanding. However, what really sets the Pfister apart is the staff and their attention to detail and the comfort of their guests. From the moment you arrive until you leave, the staff is courteous and friendly. Francisco, Viktoria, and Jack were especially lovely. I did not get the name of the reception person who helped me with scissors to cut ribbon for some gifts. The Pfister is an amazing hotel with old world charm, ambience, and service and it it comparably priced to the chain hotels. Give it a try if you are in Milwaukee!

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.
