Best Hotels in Pittsburgh

Flaunting the signature quirky Kimpton style, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh receives high marks for everything from the attentive staff and comfortable beds to the whimsical decor and convenient location. The property is situated downtown, within walking distance of top Steel City sights like the Senator John Heinz History Center, the Andy Warhol Museum and PNC Park. Guests can use one of the hotel's complimentary bikes to explore the city or stick around to enjoy its on-site amenities, which include a fitness center, in-room spa services and evening wine receptions. Those looking for a bite to eat won't have to stray far: The Commoner dishes out classic American cuisine, while the Biergarten serves traditional Bavarian bites (think giant soft pretzels and bratwursts) alongside beers. Once you've had your fill of food, retire to your room. Accommodations feature green tufted headboards, bedside chandeliers, yoga mats and minibars. Plus, if you're part of the IHG Reward Club, you'll get extra perks.

Nestled in the heart of the "Golden Triangle" in downtown Steel City, the Fairmont Pittsburgh is popular with Pirates fans since it's less than a mile walk from PNC Park. But there's a lot more to love about this hotel. Recent visitors particularly applaud the spacious guest rooms, appointed with plush duvets, large bathrooms, refreshment centers and flat-screen TVs. Guests also give major kudos to the uniquely Pittsburgh-esque exposed steel in the lobby – a nod to this city's main industry. The hotel's modern restaurant concept, Fl.2, opened in fall 2017. The eatery can accommodate more patrons and dishes out inventive takes on American and French classics. The only drawback, according to a few dissatisfied visitors, is having to pay for in-room internet access at this AccorHotels outpost. However, you can save on Wi-Fi fees (and rack up other perks) by signing up for the brand's loyalty program.

The Renaissance Pittsburgh, located in Pittsburgh's Fulton Building that was constructed in 1906, is another one of the Steel City's historical hotels. But the hotel has kept up with the times: Guest rooms feature simple, yet elegant, furnishings and in-room amenities like flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations and complimentary Wi-Fi. However, the Renaissance's locale is by far the best selling point among recent guests. Visitors love that Heinz Field, PNC Park and many of the city's most celebrated theaters are all within walking distance. If you do choose to stay on the property come meal time, dine at the well-regarded Braddock’s Rebellion. The only downside some previous visitors noted at this hotel was the pricey valet parking, and inconvenient drop-off and pick-up points for the vehicles. As a member of Marriott, this Renaissance property participates in the Marriott Bonvoy program, allowing guests to earn and redeem points and perks at this hotel.

The Omni William Penn Hotel plays host to a ritzy clientele – John F. Kennedy and Lawrence Welk are just a few noteworthy figures who have stayed here. And its elegant interior decked with crystal chandeliers, a piano and wooden furnishings ooze luxury. The opulent decor extends to the guest rooms, which boast cherry wood furnishings, feather pillows, lavish bath amenities and flat-screen TVs. When your stomach starts to rumble, venture to one of the two fine dining establishments –The Terrace Room and The Tap Room – all of which earn high marks from recent patrons. Apart from the tasty eats and Old World charm, recent visitors can't stop raving about the top-notch service here, along with the convenient location close to top attractions. This hotel also receives a nod of approval for participating in the Omni Select Guest loyalty program, which allows guests to redeem attractive extras, such as free upgrades and free Wi-Fi access. You'll find the Omni William Penn Hotel on William Penn Place inside Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle.

Families and friends of university students will find this Autograph Collection outpost in Pittsburgh comfortable and convenient. The hotel is just a stone's throw away from both the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University as well as one of Pittsburgh's greatest green spaces, Schenley Park. While the hotel's main draw is no doubt its location, guests are also complimentary of the hotel's well-appointed accommodations. In-room amenities at the Oaklander include complimentary Wi-Fi, minibars, coffee makers and smart TVs that allows guests to link up to streaming services such as Netflix. Many lodgers also loved the bathrooms which are complete with large, lighted vanity mirrors and sleek rainfall showers. Outside of your accommodations you'll find a fitness center and Spirits & Tales, the hotel's on-site brasserie-style restaurant which serves everything from oysters to duck confit ravioli. Guests were largely pleased with the service, though some felt the hotel, which opened in February 2019, still has some kinks to work out. Keep in mind, if you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, you can earn and redeem points here.

The name says it all: This Westin branch, with its walkway directly connecting to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, serves as a magnet for business travelers. But its central location –on Penn Avenue near both PNC Park and the city's hockey arena – draws leisure travelers, too. Accommodations come equipped with standard Westin features, including custom Heavenly Bed and Bath products, flat-screen TVs and ample living space. And if you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, you may receive even more perks, such as complimentary room upgrades for choosing to stay here. Another bonus: On the property grounds, you'll have access to two dining establishments, a fully equipped fitness center and 23 meeting rooms. Still, while the Westin's versatile selection of amenities and facilities wow recent visitors, what wins them over is the hotel's excellent service and convenient location.

The ACE Hotel in Pittsburgh is as hip as they come. The hotel is strewn with low-lit common areas, unique amenities (some rooms come with guitars and turntables) and specialty coffee (provided by Portland-based Stumptown Coffee Roasters). This ACE, like many of its counterparts across the country, appeals to younger travelers thanks to its trendy atmosphere and minimalistic design. Rooms are described as comfortable, with beds outfitted in Pendleton quilts, flat-screen TVs, fully stocked minibars and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Dining is a standout here as well, so much so that guests said they found a mix of travelers and locals at both the restaurant and bar. Whitefield restaurant touts itself as a neighborhood tavern, serving dishes infused with the culinary traditions of the city and state, while the lobby bar serves craft beers and seasonal cocktails made from local ingredients and spirits. The sense of community this ACE cultivates may get some help from the hotel's past. The ACE Hotel Pittsburgh was once a YMCA facility, and still features some of its original spaces, including the facility's original gym. You can find this ACE in the East Liberty neighborhood, about 5 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh.
