Cons
Located 9.5 miles from General Mitchell International Airport
A 20-minute walk from Milwaukee Intermodal station
“The Pfister Hotel impresses with its Victorian art and luxurious spa, though some rooms may lack the historic charm one anticipates. Its central Milwaukee location offers easy access to attractions, yet be prepared for potentially slow service at peak times. Overall, it's a grand choice for those seeking a blend of history and modern luxury.”
