April 22, 2013 - The historic Pfister® Hotel in downtown Milwaukee, which is owned and managed by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts, has completed renovations and opened a new Pfister Club Lounge for overnight guests. Located on the 23rd floor of the hotel's tower, it showcases expansive views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan.

“We're thrilled to offer our guests additional benefits when staying at The Pfister,” said Chris Anderson, senior vice president of sales, marketing and brand development for Marcus Hotels & Resorts. “The Pfister Club Lounge gives guests another great space in which to work, connect with colleagues, or just relax and grab a bite to eat, while taking in an amazing view.”

The exclusive Pfister Club Lounge will be open continuously from Sunday evenings to Friday evenings. With an atmosphere similar to a home library, it includes a fireplace, bookshelves, comfortable seating and workstations for individuals and small groups, Wi-Fi Internet access, printers, and televisions for monitoring the day's events. Pfister Club Lounge guests can enjoy breakfast each morning, snacks and beverages throughout the day, and hors d'oeuvres in the evening. A “Club Concierge” attendant will assist Club Lounge guests, providing the high level of customer service for which The Pfister Hotel is known.

Guests who reserve rooms in the upper floors of the tower side of the hotel are automatically granted Club access. Hotel guests may alternatively choose to upgrade their room reservation to include Pfister Club Lounge access for any room type within the hotel for a nominal fee.

Closely following the Club Lounge renovation will be the addition of a brand-new, high-tech executive boardroom, also on the 23rd floor. Following completion of work on the 23rd floor, a renovation of the hotel's 176 tower guest rooms is slated to begin in fall 2013.
