The Pfister Hotel - A historic 4-star landmark with Victorian art collection, luxury spa, and panoramic city views
Located near Milwaukee's historic Third Ward, this 1893 Milwaukee hotel features 307 rooms, including 82 suites with sitting rooms and wet bars. The 23rd floor houses a panoramic swimming pool and the Blu cocktail lounge offering city views. Two restaurants serve guests: Mason Street Grill specializing in steaks and seafood, and Café at the Pfister providing breakfast and lunch with Starbucks coffee. The WELL Spa + Salon offers private treatment suites and salon services by local artists. The property showcases the world's largest Victorian art collection in a hotel. Meeting facilities span 25000 square feet, including a 9000-square-foot Grand Ballroom and 5700-square-foot Imperial Ballroom with 32-foot ceilings. The Pfister stands three blocks from Lake Michigan, within walking distance of Milwaukee Art Museum, Summerfest Grounds, and Discovery World.
Pros

Each spa treatment suite includes a private bathroom, heated floors, and personalized music options
The 23rd-floor indoor pool offers panoramic city views
The hotel houses an extensive Victorian art collection with over 80 pieces
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.”
