The Pfister Hotel

We went the Blue Room and they were very rude. 1st the waiter went by our table and turned his head like he didn’t see us- 4 adults. Then a waitress went by and kept skipping our table. It took 20 minutes for a server to take our order. They acted like we shouldn’t have been there. This is one of my husbands favorite places but as of now , 4 of us will never return and we will let other people know about the poor service.

Loved this historic icon in central Milwaukee--stayed here a number of times when in town on business--it was always special. Wonderful staff, comfortable and spacious rooms, and convenient to what was a famous German restaurant across the street!.

3-4 times a year, I meet my cousin from Chicago and my sister from Milwaukee at the Pfister. I live in St. Paul, MN. As ever, my room was fantastic; the food at the coffee shop, lobby bar and Mason St. Grill was fabulous, and the ambience of the Pfister remains unmatched--and I have stayed in hotels from the Cote d'Azur to Paris to London to Rome to NYC, so I have a broad basis of comparison! The Pfister is reliably classy and elegant.

My wife and I travel often, we've road-tripped across the US coast to coast five times, and we make trips at least twice a year to Europe and Brazil. So I don't say this lightly: the Pfister was one of the most pleasant hotel experiences we've had, across the board. Everyone we interacted with, the front desk, the porters, the cafe, the bar, delivered the same standard. It was a reminder of what hospitality actually looks like, and the standard of excellence you hope for when you leave home.

A meticulously preserved historic hotel with an outstanding staff. I enjoyed every aspect of our stay and should we ever have reason to be back in Milwaukee I will only consider staying at the Pfister. One particular highlight was our waiter Najmal at the Cafe, such a tremendous host.
