Located on what used to be known as "Millionaires Row" in Pittsburgh, the Mansions on Fifth Hotel comprises the McCook Mansion and the McCook-Reed Mansion, both dating back to the early 1900s. Both mansions were recently restored – starting in 2005 – and are now on the National Register of Historic Places. Original pieces like hand-painted tiles, carved woodwork and art glass windows have been preserved, while the electric and mechanical systems have been fully updated. Other modern conveniences include a fitness room and the Oak Room Pub. Guest rooms are outfitted with contemporary bathrooms with glass and ceramic showers, high-definition TVs, free Wi-Fi access and iHome docking stations. Many recent guests were happy with the accommodations, though some said the hotel is a bit tough to find.
