Four luxury hotels in Pittsburgh – and how to choose
Three of the best hotels in Pittsburgh are Downtown, in the Golden Triangle between the two rivers, and one is in the university district of Oakland.
The Oaklander Hotel Pittsburgh · North OaklandOn Wood Street in the historic Firstside banking district you stay at The Industrialist Hotel Pittsburgh. On Market Street, in the Fifth & Forbes area around Market Square, stands the Fairmont Pittsburgh. And on Penn Avenue, by the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, you find The Westin Pittsburgh; from here Penn Avenue leads on into the Strip District.
On Bigelow Boulevard in North Oakland, between the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon and the Carnegie Museums, you stay at The Oaklander Hotel Pittsburgh.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
In Pittsburgh you can book the view of the river and the ballpark on purpose – at the Fairmont Pittsburgh.
The hotel offers categories facing three sides of the city: seven overlooking the river and PNC Park, the baseball stadium on the north bank of the Allegheny, seven Executive suites facing the river and two categories facing Mount Washington.
Why it matters: the upgrade comes on arrival, upon availability. If the view matters to you, secure it through the category – then it is part of your booking.
Our advice: the Deluxe River Ballpark Room measures 39 square meters and looks straight at the stadium on game days. Tell our travel advisors whether you want to look out on the ballpark, the river or Mount Washington.
Where to stay in Pittsburgh: Downtown or Oakland
For travelers, Pittsburgh comes down to two areas.
Fairmont Pittsburgh · Fifth & ForbesDowntown is the peninsula of the Golden Triangle: at its tip lies Point State Park with the fountain at the confluence, and in between you find Market Square, the glass towers of PPG Place and the Cultural District with its theaters. Across the bridges you walk to PNC Park and the Andy Warhol Museum on the North Shore. Our recommendation: the Fairmont Pittsburgh with 50 categories, 31 of them suites, and its views of the river and the ballpark. For conventions and trade fairs, The Westin Pittsburgh on Penn Avenue is the natural choice. And the most affordable way into the Golden Triangle is The Industrialist Hotel Pittsburgh from 196 €.
Oakland is the university district, with the Cathedral of Learning, the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History and plenty of green space. Our recommendation for university visits, medical conferences or a museum day: The Oaklander Hotel Pittsburgh.
For orientation: the Strip District with its market halls and specialty food shops adjoins Downtown to the east, and across the river on the south bank the Duquesne Incline takes you up Mount Washington.

The Westin Pittsburgh · DowntownThe widest choice is at the Fairmont Pittsburgh with 50 categories, including 31 suites, followed by The Industrialist Hotel Pittsburgh with 13, The Westin Pittsburgh with 10 and The Oaklander Hotel Pittsburgh with 7. All four hotels offer a Presidential Suite.
