The Best Luxury Hotels to Book in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Named after Pittsburgh’s historic Oakland neighborhood, where the hotel is located, The Oaklander is an absolute beauty. There’s a hint of art deco in the teal-blue, off-white and slate-gray rooms and suites that offer views of the city. If you want to enjoy a luxury hotel in Pittsburgh, while simultaneously being just minutes away from attractions such as the Carnegie Library, the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History, or Carnegie Music Hall, The Oaklander is the perfect place.

The Four Diamond Fairmont Pittsburgh has 185 luxurious rooms and suites that are all clean lines and warm tones, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of PNC Park. The downtown location is ideal for sightseeing and dining out. Winding down is best done with a customized facial or Muscle Melt Massage at the hotel spa, while the Pampered Pup program takes care of your beloved canine traveling companion.

The cocktails at Andy’s are seasonal and made with fresh ingredients, and the bar hosts live jazz performances.

Housed in a gorgeous 1903 building, this space went through many incarnations before becoming a plush hotel. The rooms are vibrantly designed, with padded, emerald-green headboards, birdcage chandeliers and dog-tooth patterned cushions and curtains; nab the Spa King for a deep soaking tub. Eat at The Commoner, where American classics with a contemporary twist are served in an industrial-chic setting, and get your wurst and beer at the rooftop Biergarten, a German-inspired bar.

At this luxury hotel in Pittsburgh, rooms are decked out in classic creams, grays and browns, with polished wooden headboards. The reliable amenities of the DoubleTree chain are combined with a central location; check out the Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Science Center, or the Carnegie Museum, all within 10-15 minutes’ walking distance. Accommodations look out over urban vistas, while the hotel restaurant, the Bigelow Grille, has won awards for its ‘Pittsburgh ethnic fare’: think pierogies and gourmet stacked burgers.

Super-close to attractions such as Heinz Field, PNC Park, PPG Paints Arena and Cultural District – where the Andy Warhol Museum and Heintz History Center are located – The Westin Pittsburg is the perfect place to combine luxury accommodation with cultural exploration. Big city views spread out before you from the classically designed, bright and spacious rooms. Monster shakes are on offer at the burger aficionado haunt, Bill’s Bar & Burgers, where Blackened ’n Blue and Keto My Heart are standout options.

Inside the incredible Fulton Building, you are greeted with grandeur in the form of mighty marble arches, lofty ceilings, marble staircases, and gilded fainting couches.

Grab a full American breakfast at Braddock’s Rebellion, then prop up the chrome bar at Braddock’s Street Side pub, pint of craft beer in hand.
