When it opened its doors in 1893, The Pfister Hotel was called “The Grand Hotel of the West.” Architect Charles Koch’s Romanesque Revival design incorporated innovative fireproof construction and an in-house electrical power plant, which made The Pfister America’s first hotel with individual thermostats in each guestroom. The distinctive three-story lobby is dominated by a grand marble staircase and a massive fireplace, and the hotel boasts the largest collection of Victorian art at any hotel in the world. WELL Spa + Salon offers personalized services in private treatment suites. Other features include a club lounge, fitness studio, indoor pool, and Blu—a cocktail lounge, offering breathtaking views of the city and Lake Michigan.
