Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Beautiful hotel
Beautiful hotel in central Milwaukee, a short stroll from the waterfront. Bly bar is brilliant for jazz on Friday and Saturday. The suite was spacious and exceptionally clean. Staff were helpful and served with a smile.

Bucket List Hotel
Don’t get up to Milwaukee often, but The Pfister was always on my bucket list. It did not disappoint. It’s a premium experience with staff that understands how to provide excellent service in a seamless and non-intrusive manner. It’s historic while still being well maintained. Going up to the lounge on the 23rd floor for a drink is mandatory!! Only downside is that we stayed Sunday until Tuesday and it seems much of downtown Milwaukee is shut down during that time. Not many restaurants open for dinner then!!

Old world glamour
Stayed at the hotel for our son's Marquette graduation. The Pfister is a real treat. It's old world glamour is unparalleled. Excellent service, great staff and nice location within a 5-10 minute walk to the Old Third Ward. Sitting in the beautiful lobby, sipping on excellent cocktails, listening to the piano player and watching the world go by - not a bad way to spend some time.

Poorly Run
Overbooked the Pfister, I arrived late at night and they didnt hold my PREPAID ROOM. SO.... Sent me to a DUMP sister property called the Marc. Unfair, very disappointed and dishonest

Over the top experience.
Everything over the top- accommodations, food and the kindness of the staff. It was as though they had already thought through creative solutions to every need we expressed.

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.
