İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- The largest Victorian art collection of any hotel in the world (literally on the walls)
- Blu, the 23rd-floor lounge with panoramic Lake Michigan views
- The 'Tower' rooms offer floor-to-ceiling lake views that the historic rooms lack
Hızlı Özet: A grand dame that feels regal in the lobby but occasionally shows her age with creaky floors and scratchy towels.
@MphoNdhlovu299955 tarafından değerlendirildi: I stayed here for our anniversary and felt like I stepped back into the Gilded Age. The lobby art is breathtaking and the lake views from our room were perfect for a champagne toast.

Reality check
The historic rooms are charming but can feel dark and small compared to the modern (but uglier) tower rooms.
- You appreciate Victorian maximalism and gold leaf ceilings
- You want to be two blocks from the Art Museum and the lake
- You are hoping to spot a ghost (or an MLB player)
Temizlik & Bakım
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Maids are old-school professional.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout is usually sparkling, though historic bathrooms can feel a bit dim.
- Maintenance: Generally excellent, though some peeling paint reported on exterior windows of the historic section.
- Linens & towels: Sheets are crisp Egyptian cotton, but towels lose points for roughness.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like woodsmoke and expensive perfume; rooms are neutral.

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is The Pfister really haunted?
Yes, allegedly. MLB players famously refuse to stay here. Ask for a room in the historic section if you want to increase your odds of a spook.
How much is parking?
Steep. ~$38/night for self-park in the attached garage, ~$46/night for valet. In/out privileges included.
Does it have a pool?
Yes, an indoor pool on the 23rd floor with amazing city views. Open year-round.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it's very pet-friendly. $100 fee per stay, max 2 pets (up to 50-75 lbs). They even have a 'Rover Night' package.
What is the difference between Tower and Historic rooms?
Historic rooms have high ceilings, antique decor, and are in the 1893 building. Tower rooms are modern, standard layouts, but offer way better views.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. Expect to pay $15-25 per person at the Café at the Pfister.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
The 'Artist in Residence' studio on the first floor is open to guests—you can walk in and chat with the working artist.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 5 minutes to 'Sweet Diner' in the Third Ward for better food.
- ✨
If you're in the Tower, the higher you go, the better the water pressure tends to be (and the view).
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The 'Sculpture Milwaukee' fee: A hidden 1% tax added to bills from June to October.
💡The towels are frequently reviewed as 'scratchy' or 'hard'—not what you expect for the price.
💡The parking garage has tight turns; large SUVs will struggle.
💡You can hear the elevator mechanics humming in rooms directly adjacent to the shaft in the Tower.
💡The lobby fireplace is real wood, and the smell is amazing in winter.
