The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee

The Pfister is a lovely, elegant, old world hotel. In the heart of Milwaukee, it had a beautiful view of the lake from our room. The bed was so comfortable, and the staff so friendly and accommodating! We can’t wait to return. It felt like a European getaway in the middle of a city known for its beer, brats and cheese curds. Our only disappointment, was that we were not visited by a Ghostley presence, but we look forward to revisiting and trying again. Ellie in the lounge was a sweetheart!

From the moment we got there, even before the reception desk. We were greeted buy a pleasant man in phister attire! He asked if we needed a cart for out luggage! We said yes please , and it was done. Luggage was loaded on a carrier . We than proceed to the desk .where we were greeted enthusiastically! Which put a smile on our faces than a gentleman stepped out from behind the desk and asked what are visit was for and asked if we wanted a glass of champagne! We looked at each other and another smile and said yes please. THEN WE FOLLOWED THE MAN WITH THE LUGGAGE HE TOOK US ON SHORT A TOUR OF THE HOTEL! TRULY ENJOYABLE!The best greeting at a hotel ever! THANK YOU! FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL NIGHT AT THE PHISTER HOTEL MILWAUKEE!

My finace and I were there this weekend celebrating an early Valentines and we were greeted with champagne as we walked in. We accidently booked a room with two twin beds and the front lady was kind and was able to make accommodations for us to have a king bed suite! This just shows the level of great customer service! The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful and multiple bars to sit and enjoy cocktails! It is in a great location making it easy for us to find restaurants and the casino. We will definitely be back soon!

This hotel was absolutely classy from the moment we arrived. The customer service was exceptional — a special shout-out to the Housekeeping Manager who went above and beyond to find an Orange Soda for my child and personally brought it to our room. That level of care truly made our stay memorable.

The rooftop bar and pool were amazing with great views and the perfect atmosphere to relax. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Milwaukee. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I found ourselves in the fine city of Milwaukee during the week of Thanksgiving '25. Truth is, I had originally booked us at the doubletree a bit up the road but a last minute black friday sale made the deal I got at the Pfister too good to pass up. The hotel itself is elegant and is one of those old buildings that has aged like fine wine. We were allocated a room on the 16th floor with a decent view of the city around us. As for the location you are in the heart of the city, strolling distance from many an eatery. There's a lovely lobby bar to imbibe in during your stay, however be aware they only accept card. (However they let me pay cash when I was ok not getting change.) There is also a rooftop bar with an exquisite view of the city which we enjoyed on our final evening. A full five stars to the Pfister, a grand old hotel that still holds its reputation on all accounts.

My husband and I decided to book a one night stay at the hotel on a whim after deciding to treat ourselves to an exceptional experience at this historic hotel. We were impressed the moment we walked into the lobby and were treated with kindness and professionalism from Catherine at the front desk. Everything from this hotel screams history, hospitality, cleanliness, comfort and accessibility to food accommodations, fitness, spa, lounge, music. Such a thoughtful and ingenious layouts that there is no need to leave the hotel if you didn’t want to. Easy to walk around downtown from the hotel. The hotel elevators moved quickly to where we needed to go. We forgot to bring our swimsuits therefore missed out on using their indoor pool on the 23rd floor. We would recommend the Pfister Hotel for an at least once in a lifetime exquisite experience and be part of the hotel history. You will not regret your decision to stayed here.

My favorite place to stay in Milwaukee! Atmosphere is amazing and I really enjoyed my room, the upfront bar, and the overall great vibes I get from the Pfister!

My stay at the Pfister Hotel was far from average—it was truly exceptional. What makes this hotel stand out is the staff; every single employee participates in making your stay unforgettable. The team at the front desk was especially friendly and professional, making you feel like you are the only guest they have.

The hotel itself is stunning, with a "super fancy" royal style and beautiful art everywhere you look. This attention to detail extends to the rooms. Everything was immaculately clean (I'm talking "Monica clean"!), and the sheets were pristine. We were also very pleased to find that room service was available and happily offered until late in the evening.

My favorite part of the hotel was the 23rd floor. The Club Lounge has a beautiful view, which is perfect for enjoying breakfast in the morning, and they offer snacks all day. The swimming pool is also conveniently located on the same floor.

There is so much to do at the hotel that I couldn't even get to everything in the course of four days. It was a 10/10 experience, and I can't wait to return.

Services were great! Book a massage ahead of time, before your stay! It was delightful! Hazel was amazing, attentive, and the massage was overall wonderful! The café breakfast was wonderful as well. The location was close to the Market, and other restaurants. We didnt get to have dinner at the hotel restaurant but im sure it would be great! We will be returning to the Pfister!

This may be one of the finest hotels we experienced during our travels in the USA. The staff were exceptionally friendly, starting from the moment we entered the hotel. Ms. Stephanie, we are incredibly grateful for your kind assistance and understanding. They recognized how exhausted we were from our adventures at the remarkable Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, so they expedited our check-in process and provided us with various resources to help us regain our energy. They truly paid attention to our needs and responded swiftly. We sincerely appreciate that. The room is clean and cozy, and the view from the 23rd floor is fantastic. The food is excellent. The Harley-Davidson Museum is located just about a mile from the hotel, and we were able to reach many fascinating places within walking distance. The city view is breathtaking. We hope to return to Milwaukee someday, and if we do, we will certainly choose The Pfister Hotel again. Thank you very much!
