The property was absolutely stunning! We walked around for hours throughout the hotel, looking at all the old features, beautiful artwork, marble flooring, and gorgeous expensive ballrooms. The Pfister did not disappoint whatsoever! The location was perfect! We spent the weekend walking all over Milwaukee and got to see so much!

    “We loved everything about our stay at The Pfister. The hotel has beautiful old world elegance, it is in a great location, and the staff were all super friendly. We loved the Artist in Residence program that the hotel offers and enjoyed seeing all of the art throughout the hotel. The food in the cafe was great, especially the baked goods which they bake on site.”
