The Pfister Hotel, Milwaukee

The Pfister is a phenomenal historic destination. It contains so much interesting history, artwork and architecture. It is educational as well as intriguingly interesting. The staff made us feel like very special guests.

The parking was very expensive.

Classy decor, warm cozy room, exceptional staff, parking garage

Chilly in the lobby area bar

I stayed in a very well done stylish suite absolutely very comfortable king bed with 4 down pillows and down comforter. Espresso bar , marble shower, living room as well spacious stay. Beautiful ornate lobby with operating fireplace and live music and beautiful bar. The 23rd floor lounge had live jazz music and beautiful bar views of the city. I enjoyed a wonderful perfectly cooked ribeye steak dinner at the Mason Grill at the hotel. I enjoyed the pools while watching the snow storm. Can’t say enough about about the excellent staff that I encountered this place is top notch!

Parking not included in price of room if you 3rd party book. I was on a solo trip felt a bit lonely on the Sunday night stay not very bu as Saturday. Still luxurious though just nobody to share it with.

This is such a unique and beautiful property. Our kids loved the swimming pool with the beautiful views, and my husband and I loved taking in all the artwork.

Food and drinks were pricey, but that was to be expected.

Comfortable and sparkling clean

It’s beautiful, friendly staff, location

Curtains were tough to open, in room coffee wasn’t near a plug. These are little things but when you go to a high end hotel you expect little things to be done right.

The atmosphere and friendliness of staff and visitors alike.

Beautifully maintained. Very comfortable and hospitable. Very comfortable room and bed.

I loved it all

This is a very charming and lively hotel. We were there during the holiday season and the decor was out of a movie, complete with a fire in the fireplace in the bar area each night and piano player. The room was very comfortable and clean. We traveled with our dogs and were worried they would bark from other guests outside the door or above us, but it was very quiet and well sound proofed. The room was large and had everything we needed. It was convenient that there was a restaurant and coffee shop in the building for a late evening meal or early morning coffee. Location was superb for walking the city and seeing a few sights. The price was also great because we booked on Black Friday. Would absolutely recommend.

Nothing to report.

Exceptional service and staff friendliness. Food in the hotel cafe (breakfast) was excellent, as was service. The bar staff in the evening were very busy but made sure to acknowledge us quickly and take care of us with a smile. The hotel is lovely and an experience to visit. The views from the pool were amazing. The location was perfect in the downtown area.

We were given a very nice room that overlooked an alley, which was fine. However, an early morning garage truck emptying bins woke us up. I did mention to staff light heartedly upon checkout, and received an email from the hotel manager with apology and offer of free upgrade for our next stay. Will definitely return.

Easy to get to, check in was easy and everything was ready on time

They double charged us for the room, my funds weren’t released until almost 48 hours after we checked out.

Clean room, great staff and close to everything

Loved the grill--great food, music and vibe.

THe food at the bar downstairs was not good and overpriced. We tried to get tea at Blu at 3pm but were told the food was sold out--there were only a couple of tables full of people--???

Just a wonderful classic property with all the comforts of a new one

Check in was quick and informative and the champagne was delicious.

Amazing hotel. Run extremely professionally.

The room was great and not uncomfortably hot, as it was the last time.

Everything was great!

The location is excellent for downtown dining and attraction access.

Front desk is sometimes confused on 3rd party bookings. Happened more than once.

Absolutely loved this hotel and the stay was wonderful in downtown Milwaukee. The staff was absolutely amazing. Loved all of the amenities at the hotel.

Very spacious and accommodating. Friendly staff. Very comfortable bed. Slept great. Big room. Tv was good setup. Nice to have a fridge also.

I think paying 38 dollars for parking a night is absurd. If I knew that upon making the reservation I probably would not have stayed here. Also the hallways were quite loud and I heard noise through the walls. The rooms are really close to each other.

Beautiful

Prices

The architecture

No microwave or fridge in our room

Beautiful hotel, excellent service and reasonable rates.

Hotel should validate parking.

Staff was professional and helpful. The facility was clean and well kept and quality was definitely shown to be a point of emphasis.

Bed was lacking in my opinion for a luxury hotel. Also nit picking here but could use easier access to things forgotten as in a tie or garments.

The staff was and location was great always love the lobby it feels like you took a step back in time

Omg where do I start? Let me see . I was greeted warmly and promptly and professionally I felt like a VIP immediately. The property was other worldly in class and distinction I felt I was back in the days of the Great Gabsy or time of the Vanderbilts.

The main bar and upstairs bars were very crowded;) but also good in a way a lot of people mixing nit up. Everyone happy to be present.

Staff was excellent, professional, friendly helpful. Vlad from the front desk, was so kind and helpful. The housekeeper was also friendly and helpful...everyone was fantastic

Vintage building and prestige of hotel

Staff was exceptional. My wife forgot her makeup bag. I called the next day to the lost and found and Alex looked and inquired and located the item.

Beautiful old hotel. We had a very large king room with comfortable bed.

Bathroom was not clean.

Universal helpfulness and courtesy from all staff members. Special attention for our young grandsons - their first experience in a five star city hotel. Dining at the Grille included excellent food and service. The pool area was sparkling clean and the boys loved it.

No improvements needed- just keep up the high standards.

Everything was beautiful and loved the history

Woman who checked us in was rolling her eyes, a little sassy when asked if we were able to stay on a specific floor, otherwise the rest of the staff were great

Love the lobby cafe and serving staff were exceptionally professional and kind Also chose the High Tea, which was delightful

Audio music of piano and brass jazz in the Blu Lounge for High Tea seemed inappropriate and intrusive and too loud. Recommend light classical for the environment, setting, and event ambience.

Very nice. Excellent. Exceptionally clean!! However the towels were a bit hard a scratchy.

Everything

I did not have complimentary breakfast - was I supposed to? otherwise, it was fine.....the service was very good at the cafe

the room was dusty and not overall as clean as I would have expected. There were very few outlets - no power strips, so it was impossible to connect several devices at the working desk - laptop only, so I had to put phone and ipad elsewhere to plug it in.............I believe I left a charging cord behind as a result

Second time here and it's probably my favorite hotel I've ever been to. Staff are so polite and helpful. They make you feel like an important person. Love the history here also and how they describe it on the TV. I wish the pool was heated tho.

Architecture and decor! Every single staff member was courteous and friendly

Having to pay $38 for overnight parking in the structure

The Pfister is beautiful! From the lobby to our room, stunning but comfortable. Great location to walk to many areas of Milwaukee. Wonderful restaurants and bars in the hotel.

The elevators were very fast. Not much waiting.

The pool could have been a little warmer.

It is an architectural jewel in the heart of Milwaukee. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with excellent attention to details.

The historical beauty of the hotel. The lobby bar is wonderful with a roaring fireplace. The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The hotel is in a great location downtown.

The historical architecture is exquisite and kept up with dignity! Every square inch draws your attention and keeps you engrossed.

Nothing. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore it more.

Beautiful hotel. Friendly staff. Spacious and comfortable rooms. We had an excellent stay!

The freshly updated King Suite where we were upgraded was amazing! Staff was great, including the front desk's offer of a welcome champagne upon check-in. Cocktails at "Blu" did not disappoint -- fantastic views and great way to cap our night!

The 5:45 am garbage truck outside our window was an unexpected and unwanted wake-up call. We'll be sure to request a room away from the alley next time.

Absolutely stunning hotel! The renovations on this historic hotel are fantastic. The lobby and common areas are gorgeous, and always seem to be in use by guests, which emphasizes a sense of comfortableness as well. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Nothing at all.

Amazing room! Great service! Great facilities! Such a beautiful hotel

The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Location and history.

Too much perfume

BEAUTIFUL classic property. Beautiful architecture from a time when art was a part of architecture. I love everything about the Pfister!
