Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Special occasion celebrated at the Pfister and they delivered!
We decided to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary at the Pfister. The king room was newly renovated, very clean, and the service was impeccable. Makenah and Briana stood out and were exceptional. We were served champagne upon our arrival and once they understood our special occasion, they upgraded us to a king suite. We hope to return next year to celebrate our 43rd. Thanks to all at the Pfister.

Amazing renovations, service and overall experience
We've stayed at The Pfister Hotel for 25+ years, and this was our best experience out of many memorable experiences. The renovations are amazing (in the lobby and the room), the service was perfect, and the breakfast at the Cafe was so good. They shouldn't advertise that they offer Starbucks at the Cafe because my mocha latte was so much better than anything Starbucks has ever made. It was a great experience!

Relaxing respite in resplendent beauty
Pillows are fluffy, as is the down comforter--Oh I especially liked the 23rd floor pool, that was clean, not with leftover forgotten dustbunnies. It is very evident wherever I went that not a stone was left unturned to keep the beauty of the hotel intact.

One of the Best in the Midwest
Beautiful property with stunning lobby and a valuable art collection throughout. Great indoor pool on top floor with a great view - open from 6 am to 10 pm. A couple great restaurants and bars and ROOM SERVICE which has been discontinued in most hotels. Nice details like printed room service menu and hotel guide. No stinking QR codes! Glass of champaign at check in. Friendly and professional staff. One of the best hotels in the Midwest!

Best place to stay in Milwaukee!
Returned to the Pfister after 10 years and had another amazing experience. It's impressive how well the property is maintained given how old it is. It's clear ownership is committed to this beautiful slice of Milwaukee history. Enjoyed our return visit to the lobby bar. They have live music on the weekends and nice cocktail menu. Was surprised the indoor pool on the top floor had a nine-foot deep end and generous heating. Our room was updated and well appointed. Every inch of the public spaces were clean and well kept. So happy this place is close enough to home for a quick getaway. There is a short documentary on their TV about the history of the hotel I highly recommend.

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.
