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.

We have stayed at The Pfister a few times when traveling to Milwaukee. It’s an unbelievably beautiful hotel. You’re greeted at check-in with a glass of champagne. The staff at the front desk, and all throughout the hotel, are attentive and friendly. Our room was large with a sitting area which had a refrigerator and coffee maker, a comfortable king size bed in the bedroom, and robes and a steamer in the closet in the large bathroom. The Pfister has the largest hotel collection of Victorian art in the world, featuring over 80 amazing pieces collected by founders Guido and Charles Pfister. It’s worth the time to walk the halls to look at the artwork. The Pfister has a bar area in the lobby also a café, but the main highlight for me was Blu. It’s the cocktail bar up on the 23rd floor overlooking the Milwaukee skyline. The Pfister is in a great location. We just parked our car and walked to the lakefront, to the art museum, Summerfest and also restaurants in the area. You can walk to Milwaukee’s Public Market and the Historic Third Ward district as well. It’s no wonder I return time and time again to this hotel, not only for the location, but the outstanding service, beauty of the hotel and amenities.

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.
