Hotel Pittsburgh

Situated at the start point of the great Ohio River, the city of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania was built on the manufacture of steel. Still referred to as the Steel City, and home to the Pittsburgh Steelers football team, this industrial heritage is well celebrated and while the old heavy industries have now gone, the contemporary city has found new impetus and industry and is widely regarded as one of the most livable cities in America. The turn around in fortunes has been impressive and due in no small part to stunning new developments in living, work and leisure spaces. When visitors come and stay in a hotel Pittsburgh they cannot help but leave with good impressions of the old city. Check out the selection of hotels available on our website, Hotel Pittsburgh, to see which best fits your needs.

With a cityscape largely defined and constrained by rivers, Pittsburgh has a great many bridges, mostly built from the steel the city produced. This certainly provides the perfect backdrop to new Waterside developments that have breathed life into old industrial buildings. The downtown area is referred to as the Golden Triangle and is home to most of the skyscrapers and other testaments to financial and corporate successes Those visiting the city on business will almost certainly find themselves in the downtown area and within a hotel Pittsburgh business style.

There is no clear distinction between a great hotel and a great business hotel, but certainly downtown hotels will have a greater degree of business services and facilities. These will often include meeting rooms for hire and business centers with access to computers and equipment for copying, printing and faxing. Guest rooms and suites will be similarly well equipped with features such as direct dial telephone calling and work desks with wired and wireless internet connectivity. Satellite televisions, as well as providing entertainment may also offer access to international news and business channels. Larger hotels will have sections or floors of the building reserved exclusively for executive use.

Along the Arghenny River area of downtown Pittsburgh lies the Cultural District, a 14-block area comprised of a host of theaters and other venues for visual and performing arts. There are four areas that surround downtown and these contain many different neighborhoods all with their own individual character, attractions, and appeal. The North Side area has many terrific old buildings, often decorating with intricate woodwork, tile and stained glass. Those looking for a boutique hotel in Pittsburgh are likely to find them among the these 19th century North Side properties.

The North Side also provides a good base for many of the most popular city attractions, including the Carnegie Science Center, the Children's Museum, Andy Warhol Museum and the National Aviary. Visitors who wish to get an authentic taste of the city should head for the South Side. This is where the locals go for the shopping, the lively nightlife, the myriad of different world cuisine restaurants and the numerous live music venues. One of the old steel factories in the area has been redeveloped into the Southside Works, which is comprised of modern leisure and business spaces.

The student area of the city is the East End, home to the city's universities and also the Museums of Art and Natural History, and the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. Little Italy is here, too, along with the best place to go for great Italian restaurants, while the Strip District hosts daily open markets and nightly revelry in the pubs and clubs. The final area surrounding the Golden Triangle is the West End, where Mt. Washington overlooks the city. The summit is reached by funicular railway and the views from the top are rated as the best urban views in all America.

The style and status of any hotel Pittsburgh will reflect its neighborhood location. While the North Side contains many boutique hotel options in the classic style, there are many more modern establishments found throughout the city which may still be very much defined as boutique hotels, with intimate spaces for dining and enjoying drinks, and guest rooms with individual character and appeal. Often it will be the bar and lounge spaces in these hotels that form the main attraction for guests at the hotel as well as locals seeking out the trendiest places to meet with friends and have a drink.

In a similar vein, Pittsburgh's luxury hotels will display all the exclusivity and elegance such establishments have anywhere. Great services will come as standard whether for in-room dining or concierge assistance during a stay. Large luxury hotels will have a greater selection of leisure facilities too, often in the form of swimming pools and spas, sports courts and fine dining. A luxury hotel will also have all the right contacts for taking in some of the higher class shows and events in the city, as well as any other city attractions.

In a city with so many diverse attractions and activities perhaps the best hotel Pittsburgh can offer is one which simply provides a great base in a convenient location and there are budget hotels which do precisely this, many of which are found in the student areas of the city. People come to Pittsburgh for many different reasons but for the duration of their stay the city's hotels will provide all they require to make the most of any time available and if guests would rather just find a peaceful haven away from the buzz of the city streets there are hotels that will provide that too.
