Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Clean and classic
The decor was very tastefullly done. The rooms were spacious and clean. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t open and we didn’t care for the food options in the cafe. However the hotel is located downtown with a sports bar across the street that we walked over too. I would recommend staying here.

Great hotel!
This was a beautiful hotel. The artwork, the decor, the rooms were all very nice. Our room was in the newer tower and were amazing. Super clean and spacious. Rooms had the pod coffee maker, and mini fridge but no microwave. There was a live tv and Netflix option. It’s with in walking distance to some amazing restaurants. Would definitely stay here again

Historic Hotel in downtown Milwaukee
We stayed at the Pfister and ate at Mason Street Grill (on site) for my wife's birthday. The Pfister Hotel is a special place. It reminds me of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis or the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire. It is historic, it has a beautiful lobby and it is very classy - but not stuffy. We had a king bed room in the tower section. Although not a suite, it had unique features including a bay window. We had a beautiful view from the 16th floor. We were offered a glass of sparkling wine at check-in and bottled water at checkout. Service is first class without being over the top. On the second floor overlooking the lobby there are a number of 18th and 19th century paintings to view and chairs to relax. The Pfister is well worth the money and the ultimate for a special celebration. The Mason Street Grill, which is part of the hotel, is also wonderful. It features live jazz seven nights a week and $5 wine during happy hours along with excellent bar bites. Check days and times for happy hour. The food and service is terrific, dress is nicer casual. The bar is cool and it's a great place to people watch. The Pfister also has a lobby bar and a lounge on the 30th floor (?) which overlooks Lake Michigan. The location is walking distance to the Milwaukee art museum and downtown theater, restaurants and shopping. Overall, I highly recommend. Treat yourself!

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.
