Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel

Hotel was a wonderful stay for a first time experience in Pittsburgh. The location is right next to a few restaurants which is good for dining at night. The inside of the hotel is gorgeous, especially in the dining/lobby area. Staff is friendly and very helpful and overall the room was clean. They upgraded me to a room with a river front view which is very pretty at night. The host Judy in the Marriott Elite Lounge was super nice and welcoming whenever I walked in. A few downsides of the hotel, which would not affect my decision in returning: some of the furniture in the room had a bit wear and tear. The food of the restaurant in the hotel was okay, I had gotten a chef's special butcher cut and was disappointed with the portion and choice of cut. With a room facing the riverfront street you can hear some loud traffic at night so just be aware of that if you choose the upgrade. I would say the Pittsburgh Renaissance is an excellent hotel to choose for a stay in Pittsburgh.

I loved the location. My wife and I always do a night staycation in our city after Christmas (It had been some time since we had stayed here, but this may be my favorite). However, having booked through booking, and having stayed before with a more complete view down the river, I will make sure to pay more, get the full view, experience. The bathroom was actually larger this stay with the smaller room (we still had a slight view. The room was still comfortable/ romantic. And I always look for rooms that are soundproofed to put my wife at ease. On a cold evening, to have the restaurant downstairs, even in the lobby, made things so easy. We enjoyed our complimentary appetizer, everything, and our server couldn't have been nicer. I loved the lobby decorated for Christmas. It is simply grand. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the room warm (perhaps my wife made it too so, but it was fine). For a grande dame of yesteryear, you also receive the best of modern comfort. We loved the interior design in the hallways, the contrasting gray and whites, and bold artistic choices...felt again both contemporary and original and highlighted the city and its artists. I really appreciate they honored my request for extra towels. I always request something to check the hospitality of a hotel. This hotel provides friendly correspondance and first class accomodations.

The limited view. I will save, or schedule better to ensure to get a true riverview room. We really needed the black out shades to be pulled also from some incredibly bright lights shining from the building. I think the hotel had already planned for this. However, in the morning, it was nice to open the one window, and get a view of the bridge and PNC park from bed! I "didn't like" that the Turkish Breakfast was closed down the street on a Wed. of all days, but that is more a disappointment, their perogative. I was really looking forward to that treat since it was so close, but luckily the hotel has a coffee bar in the lobby selling La Prima espresso and coffee drinks (from anyone out of town, that is one of our premier roasters from our market/ "Strip" district, and I would recommend their cappucino or espresso).

Beautiful structure. Touch of class. Awesome location

Nothing

This hotel is actually really nice. The lobby is beautiful. The location is very close to the plaza area, the point, and the theaters. The employees were very friendly. Our room was huge and very clean with a nice view. The beds seem in need of an upgrade however I will say that my recent back problems seemed to feel better so maybe the older mattress was a good thing. I would definitely stay here again.

From the moment you walk in it smells good and is very clean! The structure and decor is absolutely beautiful in the lobby area

Could just hear some traffic in the morning but not bad enough to where I wouldn’t stay again

Gorgeous hotel and location is key!

The shower did not work, the water was cold, and the fan in bathroom didn’t work.
