I stayed solo at the Pfister for two nights as a getaway for some fun as well as a bit of “me” time to decompress after a busy holiday season. The tone was set when the man at the front desk offered me a glass of champagne at check-in. Every staff person I met was gracious, friendly, and helpful. I had a wonderful dinner at Mason Street Grill my first evening, an excellent pedicure the next morning at the WELL spa, and then a terrific afternoon tea. The tea was a special treat, as it offered a personal tea butler who patiently answered my questions as she described all the teas and the options for infusion. After that I was able to sniff the tea leaves. Great food, gorgeous view, and totally relaxing. Given the frigid weather outside, I easily decided to spend my entire time in the hotel. My breakfasts and light lunch in the cafe were just right. In between all that eating (!), I explored the hotel and viewed the art and other displays on the first and second floors. It all was cozy, beautiful, and exactly the break I wanted. It truly was a perfect, flawless little getaway.

Wonderful experience overall. This is a beautiful property with a rich sense of history, and there’s a lot to see and do throughout the hotel. From the architecture to the atmosphere, it truly feels special and thoughtfully maintained. Combined with the welcoming environment, it made for a very enjoyable and memorable stay.

Awesome accomodations, beautiful artwork and architecture. Wonderful for a business trip, couple's get-a-way, trip with family, or trip with friends. 5 star accommodations with wonderful eye for details and amenities you would normally expect at a private club.

The Pfister is truly a Milwaukee gem. We did a brief staycation that included a spa treatment. We love the cocktail lounge Blue, the hotel bar, and rooms! The people working at the Pfister are true professionals. Give this a try; you'll be impressed.

Beautiful historical hotel, my out of town friends loved their stay. Great central Milwaukee location. We were able to walk to the Riverside Theater and chosen restaurant within a few minutes. The rooms were well appointed and maintained. Loved our staycation.

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.
