The Pfister Hotel - A Victorian art-filled landmark with two grand ballrooms, WELL Spa, and panoramic city views

Located near Milwaukee's historic Third Ward, this 1893 landmark houses the world's largest Victorian art collection in a hotel setting. The Pfister Hotel features 307 rooms and 82 luxury suites across its historic building and tower section. The recently renovated 7th floor contains a 9000-square-foot Grand Ballroom and 5700-square-foot Imperial Ballroom, both with 32-foot ceilings. This Milwaukee hotel offers dining at Mason Street Grill and Café at the Pfister, plus the 23rd-floor Blu cocktail lounge with city views. The WELL Spa + Salon provides private treatment suites and salon services. Guest rooms include marble bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and in-room safes. Located just three blocks from Lake Michigan, the property stands within walking distance of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Discovery World, and the Historic Third Ward district. The hotel is 9.5 miles from General Mitchell International Airport and a 20-minute walk from Milwaukee Intermodal station.

Pros

Houses the world's largest hotel collection of Victorian artwork with over 80 pieces

Private treatment suites at WELL Spa feature heated floors, personal iPods, and customizable settings

23rd-floor indoor swimming pool offers panoramic city views

Recently completed renovation of ballrooms and meeting spaces enhances the historic architecture

Cons

9.5 miles distance from the airport requires advance transportation planning

Limited self-parking options in the downtown location

“This historic property impresses with its grand lobby and commitment to local art. While some may find certain aspects needing an update, the spacious rooms, luxurious spa, and multiple dining options stand out. Its location near Milwaukee's attractions makes it a worthwhile choice for those seeking a blend of culture and comfort.”
