Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Stunning public spaces
We enjoyed our overnight stay at the Pfister. This is a historic hotel and the public spaces are really magnificent. It is a great experience to sit in the lobby and have a drink or just wander around. Our room was clean enough but felt dated…it could have used a refresh. It certainly did not feel as special as the public spaces of the hotel. The hotel’s cafe was very good—very retro feeling, but service was attentive and efficient and the food was quite tasty. The pool didn’t look as nice in person as in the photos…we didn’t try it. All in all, we had a very good stay.

Wonderful experience in an historical place
Beautiful historical hotel, with a skilled and friendly staff. Cleanliness was impeccable, food was excellent, walking distance from Museums and waterfront. The original artwork in this hotel is so cool too! I loved this place and will be back

Wonderful Experience at the Pfister Hotel!
My wife and I were very impressed with the hotel and had an amazing experience in such beautiful and historic premises. We were especially impressed with the wonderful arrival experience. Ms. Mia's kind and courteous reception, the beautiful piano music at the lobby, the very beautiful and spacious room assigned to my wife and I, the awesome view of the city of Milwaukee and Lake Michigan from our room, the book put on display and the video showcasing the history of the hotel (upon entering the room). and the very impressive interior (including the art decorations and paintings) and architecture of the hotel were some of the features that my wife and I were very impressed with. Not to mention the courteous text messages from the reception desk to make sure everything was going well with our stay at the hotel. Everyone was very courteous, including Ms. Mia, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Iris, Ms. Viktoriia, Mr. DiMorco, Ms. Shakira, Mr. Rico, and Ms. Marisha. My wife and I look forward to staying in The Pfister Hotel during our next trip to Milwaukee.

Great hotel bartender
Awesome atmosphere in a historic building. Samaje made maybe the best Manhattan and Paper Plane I’ve ever had. He knew his business and took great care of us. Was a really cool dude. Definitely belly up the the hotel bar and chat with him.

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.
