We stayed here one night as my husband was on a business trip. The hotel was beautiful, service was great from the valet to the waitress at Blu. My husband and I had a wonderful time staying here, we will return. The lobby was so grand, we sat at the lobby bar and had a drink, feels like you are... more

We stayed at the hotel for a weekend getaway and were very pleased. Our suite was in the old building, and the grand hallways and high ceilings were like going back in time. The room was newly renovated and very clean and well appointed with flat screen TV's, white duvets, and the other modern amenities you would expect. The suite... more

Thank you for visiting the Pfister during your time in Milwaukee! I am glad you had a comfortable stay, and noticed the quiet pool on our twenty third floor, as it has the best view in the city. It is a great place to take in all of the surrounding buildings and plan your walks outside - great to be...

16 of us stayed at the Pfister for New Year's Eve. We had a party elsewhere but loved coming back to the hotel. The reservation people were so accomodating...they upgraded us to a package without any problem. They fit us all together for the New Year's brunch....which was also exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to come back...loved it. Blu has the... more

This historical hotel is very elegant, and I did not have one complaint. The rooms in the tower have very nice lake views. The rooftop cocktail lounge (Blu) has been one of my favorite places in Milwaukee for about 10 years. Although I lived in Milwaukee for many years, I was never inside this hotel except to go to the... more

Thank you for the wonderful comments, and for finding the time to stay overnight after 10 years of enjoying Blu. I hope you especially enjoyed the recent renovation and conversion to non-smoking for Blu and the overall hotel. We look forward to seeing you again very soon, and appreciate your support!

This is hands down the most beautiful Hotel I've stayed at in years (and I've been around). Location was great, staff was wonderful. We took the "bed, breakfast and parking" package, can't say enough about what a good value this hotel is. Art Museum is just a few miles away, very easy to take advantage of. We went to an... more

Although my wife went to college at Marquette, I had never been to Milwaukee before. We decided that since it was my first time, we'd treat ourselves to a nice hotel. Simply put, the Pfister delivered. -The hotel itself is beautiful. I probably took as many pictures of the lobby as I did the rest of the city combined. It... more

Thank you very much for your stay with us! Our staff and design team have worked very well together in tying in the magical history of our lobby and original section to the contemporary and recently renovated 23rd floor Martini Lounge - Blu. The 'walking distance' location for so many activities central to our East Town location certainly provides our...

My wife and I thought it would be nice to see Milwaukee for one day on our way to Green Bay… wow I wished we stayed longer. This hotel is in a great location - close to waterfront attractions and the downtown area attractions. If you like a traditional German atmosphere, you will love the downtown pubs. The city is... more

We agree it's a 10! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I look forward to welcoming you back...

I expected more for what turned out to be 280 a night- 30 for parking 40 for the suite up grade- (it was a wash with free internet and the overpriced breakfast) the "suite" was small, pool is small, you may not want to be on the 21st floor as you can hear what is going on in there club... more

This was my third stay at the Pfister. I've tried other Milwaukee hotels just for the sake of variety but haven't found anything else that comes close. The staff is wonderful; hotel itself is full of character; location is ideal - walking distance to the Art Museum and Children's Museum, restaurants, shopping (Historic Third Ward). I've stayed in both the... more

Whenever my husband and I stay in Milwaukee, we stay at the Pfister. We have been staying there for short jaunts since we were married in 1988. It is a beautiful and very historic hotel. It is perfectly located in the heart of the city. The staff is ultra professional and hospitable. We are never disappointed. The view from the... more

It is always wonderful to read about the connection the hotel has had in lives that started with special occasions! We are honored that you have continued to join us since your wedding, and look forward to hosting your visits to Milwaukee for years to come! Now that Blu has recently reopened from a complete renovation and conversion to a...
