Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Must see destination!
This isn’t a hotel - this is a destination! Top notch service, atmosphere and amenities. Easy to get to, easy to park and so close to some of Milwaukee’s prime attractions. I only wish we had booked two nights instead of one!

Beautiful hotel & fabulous service!
The Pfister is a beautiful old hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Like staying in an art museum & since the art museum was closed the days we were there it was great. The Cafe was so nice for breakfast (serves Starbucks coffee, but this is NOT a Starbucks cafe). The hostess Shakira greeted us warmly & even changed our table so we could sit by a window…our server Gavin was helpful & even patient when we changed our order. The meal was superb…fluffy omelet, crispy breakfast potatoes, delicious sausage links. Delicious, fresh, & well prepared. We will definitely be back! They close mid afternoon…wish they were open for a casual & light dinner. Sometimes you just don’t want to dress for an upscale dinner. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly & helpful.

Classic hotel
It’s a classic hotel. I loved the ambiance. The staff and overall experience. Room was spacious and welcoming. The bar and restaurant were great.

I would love to stay at the Pfister Hotel again.
The hotel is fabulous, amenities are excellent. Staff is cooperative and very friendly. The only problem is the phone system answered by an AI that doesn’t work well at all.

Very disappointed in our stay
The Pfister is a beautiful historic hotel, but unfortunately our experience did not live up to the price or reputation. I emailed the hotel with a detailed and reasonable explanation of our concerns regarding the confusing room-upgrade process, check-in, and our disappointing Club package experience. More than a week later, I have received no acknowledgment or response whatsoever—yet the hotel has sent me two separate emails asking me to leave a review. I deliberately waited before posting publicly because I wanted to give the hotel an opportunity to address the situation. At this point, the lack of even a basic response has added to my disappointment. For a hotel that presents itself as a luxury property, both the experience and the follow-up fell short of what we reasonably expected.

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.
