The Pfister Hotel

EXCELLENT! Only one little criticism. I think the hotel is a non smoking facility. Our floor was marked as a non smoking floor. Our room must have been a smoking room in the past because there seems to be a smokey smell still lingering. In fairness, I realize it is difficult to eliminate deep rooted odors entirely. Wonderful hotel in every other way.

Great hotel with amazing architecture. Alyssa at the front desk was more than helpful!

A historic hotel that lived up to my high expectations.

If you go to Milwaukee you will cheat yourself if you don't stay at the "Chez Pfister" (as Laverne and Shirley called it), a luxurious 19th century old-world-style grand hotel. It has a visually-rich lobby featuring a vaulted, frescoed ceiling, an extensive art collection, and a great lobby bar/lounge with a beautiful fireplace and comfy leather chairs; a 23rd-floor cocktail lounge and separate guests-only breakfast room with expansive views of the city and Lake Michigan; and a superb fine dining restaurant (Mason Street Grill) you definitely should not miss. My wife and I could not find a single fault. The staff was extraordinarily friendly, attentive, and eager to please. Service, maintenance, cleanliness, and security were impeccable. Our suite in the original building (a tower with additional rooms was added later) was spacious, quiet, and comfy, with up-to-date bathrooms and plumbing unusual in a historic hotel. And it's close to everything, including the must-see art museum and the riverfront dining/nightlife area. We would not stay anywhere else in Milwaukee, and look forward to our next visit.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I was so impressed with this hotel, I felt that I should. I went with a friend for her 50th birthday, at check they asked the reason for our stay and when we told them of the special occasion, they wrote us a voucher for breakfast!!! Megan at the front desk was wonderful, she was patient and informative with all of our questions. The hotel itself was so stately and beautiful, we were in awe. I definitely hope to stay here again!!!
