Not originally viewed as a vacation destination, Pittsburgh was more of an industrial city in the 1800s. However, due to the quality of the arts and the beauty of the countryside Pittsburgh began to appeal to casual visitors. Now Pittsburgh has more to offer than just big industry so both the casual visitor and the business traveler can benefit. With much to do during the day, year-round sports, late night dining, music and dancing every visitor needs a good place to sleep.
Downtown
The Marriott is wired for 21st Century business needs, with an eye toward 20th Century comfort. The DoubleTree Hotel is next to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, if you’d rather dash into town for business and stay focused on the job.
Not all visitors to Pittsburgh are here on business, of course. Leisure travelers may want to have a quiet sit by the fireplace after a long day of shopping, eating or dancing at The Priory. Check out Walnut Street in Shadyside, where the Shadyside Inn is a good bargain.
East End
If your destination is the Carnegie Museum of Art, or anything connected with the universities, you might prefer the Wyndham Garden Hotel in the Oakland neighborhood. About two miles from Downtown, Oakland has a collegiate, relaxed feel surrounded by the botanical Conservatory and museums. Another option when staying in the area is the Hampton Inn Pittsburgh University Center.
West End
If you are on a budget and need an inexpensive place to stay try areas around the Pittsburgh International Airport or elsewhere in Allegheny County. Public transportation is rather good in this region, plus most hotels provide a shuttle, the price difference is certainly worth the additional drive. Try the Embassy Suites or the Hyatt Regency. Let the kids loose in the reliable Holiday Inn, the Marriott, AmeriSuites, Candlewood Suites, Airport Plaza Hotel, Super 8 or the Clubhouse Inn.
