About Pittsburgh

Once a gritty steel town, Pittsburgh is now western Pennsylvania’s coolest comeback kid — think leafy parks, buzzing arts, and over 400 iconic bridges spanning its three rivers. Whether you're after skyline views, family-friendly comfort or boutique flair, Pittsburgh’s hotel scene delivers. Stay Downtown for sleek stays near cultural hotspots, or head to the Strip District for trendy loft-style hotels. On a budget? Oakland offers great value near museums and universities, without skimping on character.

Pittsburgh is full of surprises, especially when it comes to arts and culture. Most visitors are drawn to the city’s top-notch museums, like the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum of Art — both tributes to steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. The North Shore is home to the iconic Andy Warhol Museum, while the quirky Mattress Factory showcases experimental installations. Just beyond the city, Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural masterpiece, Fallingwater, is a must-see.

For a breath of fresh air, Point State Park offers scenic strolls and a peek into the city’s past at the Fort Pitt Museum. Nature lovers will find plenty to do in the sprawling 1700-acre Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, from hiking and biking to golf and tennis. Ride the historic Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines for sweeping views from Mt Washington. After dark, the city buzzes with live performance, inventive cocktails, and a vibrant dining scene — all just steps from some of the best places to stay in town.

The Best Places to Stay in Pittsburgh

For great value

  • The Maverick by Kasa is a hip choice for a stay in the trendy East Liberty neighbourhood. Once the YMCA building, this historic building hides bright, comfortable rooms and suites — some with space for families or groups, or small kitchenettes and work areas. Excellent value for a longer stay.
  • Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh East Liberty is another well-priced choice, with vast, contemporary rooms, a lively bar and restaurant dishing up American classics. Good for a work trip or affordable holiday in an up-and-coming city neighbourhood.

For an historic b&b

  • The Priory Hotel is a striking red-brick building with classic rooms and suites featuring sash windows and fireplaces. Highlights include the gym, central courtyard and popular bar, which specialises in microbrews. In the atmospheric Deutschtown district, this is a great pick for couples or friends.
  • Inn on Negley sits within a beautifully preserved period home in the heart of historic Shadyside. Expect antique furnishings, oil paintings and very pretty bathrooms. A lovely B&B for couples, who can enjoy the daily complimentary wine and cheese before heading out for dinner in the evenings.
  • Morning Sun Inn is a Victorian mansion-turned-B&B, with vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows. Interiors are more cosy and contemporary, well-suited to couples, friends or families. Nab the two-bedroom Anna Suite for a private kitchenette & movie night set-up.
  • Mansions on Fifth is a hugely imposing Elizabethan and Tudor architectural revival property, with opulent shared spaces. Elegant rooms and suites have a grown-up, old-school feel, and the location is great for restaurants, galleries and museums. A very lavish B&B choice, with fantastic potential for private events.

For city style

  • The Industrialist is an iconic city centre skyscraper, recently transformed into a sleek luxury business hotel with a boutique feel. Think monochrome colour palettes, leather touches, abstract art & deluxe granite bathrooms, as well as a statement restaurant. Perfect for a stylish holiday or business trip.
  • Hotel Monaco offers a bold, whimsical experience within a striking Beaux Arts-style building. Interiors are glamorous and chic, plus there's a hip American tavern, rooftop Biergarten and plenty of space to unwind. The 248 guest rooms ooze grown-up cool, but there's lots for families, too. Complimentary bikes are a nice touch.
