Best Pet-Friendly 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.

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.
