We appreciated the story history of the hotel, as well as the beauty of the lobby. This situation coupled with the fantastic view from the 22nd floor and our room would certainly appreciated by us as guests.

Where is the bed was soft and fluffy. It was also too high off the ground. I couldn’t even get into bed. We had to go to the desk and get a stepstool in order for me to access the bed and seeing I am an elderly person that did provide a certain degree of risk. being Brewer fans, we were distressed that we were unable to access an important game on the evening of 28 July. Apparently you don’t carry the appropriate channels. I also found the little stall in which the toilet was located very awkward and difficult to maneuver in. The bathtub although it was certainly interesting and nicely placed was so high that I couldn’t get into the bathtub .

I liked the size of the room. The sitting room plus the separate bedroom was well above my expectations. The lounge in the lobby with the fireplace was a fantastic place to relax with a drink and small plates. This historical hotel is one of my all-time favorites. I prefer the old ones to the new anytime! I worked at this hotel when I was at the university but never stayed there. Since I was in Milwaukee for a wedding I was determined to stay there. I was not disappointed!

We stayed during the last days of the 2024 Presidential campaign and due to rallies and candidates staying at the Pfister, we had to cancel plans for dinner and stay in the hotel all day. Not the fault of the facility.

I loved this hotel. Staff were fantastic--very nice, professional, and well trained. Bed was the best I've had in any hotel--pillows, too (and I'm including in many other luxury hotels). Hotel was very well located. Soap, shampoo, the heating and cooling in the room, the light-block shades--all such little details were fantastic. Very nice and effective cleaning staff. Hotel had outstanding gym. Excellent, speedy elevators. I even like the Allen Edmonds store and its people, too. Truly, this is a wonderful hotel. Thank you!

Maybe small fridge for room?

It is a beautiful hotel steeped in history. The staff are friendly and especially the conciërge who was extremely helpful in providing me with useful information and tips. My room, 324, was large and very comfortable. The bed and bedding were excellent.

However much I liked my room I did not like the fact that it was facing the street which at times was noisy.

Such a beautiful historic building. Rooms were modern and comfortable. Great on-site restaurants. Staff were very helpful. Pricey but well worth it - very opulent. Great location, walking distance from everything. We visited for Adepticon and there was a shuttle from the hotel to the convention center which was very convenient.

The Pfister Hotel is an iconic and classic beauty in downtown Milwaukee. The lobby decor is absolutely stunning. We were there during the Christmas holiday and the decor was gorgeous and well appointed! The newly renovated rooms were very pleasing with attention to comfort and detail. All the hotel dining / bar venues were great with delicious food and drink! All the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Parking garage elevator conveniently opened into the hotel lobby.

Beautiful. Fancy. Had a couple drinks at the lobby bar. Enjoyed the bar on the top floor. Beautiful bathroom. Beautiful room and view. Comfortable bed. Hotel robes. Loved the location. Was able to walk to the Pabst Theatre for a show.

Wish the concierge told us initially we could park on the street for free on Sunday. Paying $38 to park at a hotel we're guests of is outrageous. Parking should be free for guests.

Our room was comfortable and clean. We also enjoyed the spectacular view!! The staff was so friendly and helpful in answering questions. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful, historic hotel in a wonderful location. Front desk was a little flustered at check in, but Paul was great. Vivienne at night at desk was also great. Positives: clean, classic with lots of options for amenities. Beautifully appointed rooms, love the shower and pillows. Nice pool, no one there which made it great. Blu on the 23rd had a beautiful view. Drinks were ok, view made up for it.

Not so great but didn’t take away from the experience. Duvet was stained, mattress was humped in middle.

Beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, absolutely stellar service. Surprisingly excellent in dining food options.

We were originally put in a room that had a strange loudly vibrating wall whenever some sort of electrical panel on the other side of the wall turned on. Layla at the front desk promptly switched us into another room and had engineers go take a look at it.
