Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel

I have stayed at several hotels in Pittsburgh while going up to visit my daughter at Duquesne University and this is one of my favorites! The uniqueness of the hotel, spacious rooms and great restaurants nearby are wonderful. I highly recommend.

Gorgeous, clean, luxurious and amazing staff!!

I hate leaving poor reviews…hardly ever do it. But… Positives: There is outstanding water pressure in the shower! Just across the River from PNC Park, so an easy walk to catch a game. Potential: the hotel lobby is stunning and beautiful. The problem is the day we came it was set up for a wedding so the majority of what makes it beautiful upon entering was blocked by a black curtain. Gave the feel of a construction zone. Even the next day the lobby wasn’t “useable” The bad: I reserved the hotel a month and a half before our trip, using my silver status rewards on the hotel’s site. Requested a high room, above 9th floor, with a river view, even paid more. When arrived was given a river view on the 3rd floor. When I addressed it with the staff they informed me that there was an in house wedding and they couldn’t oblige my request…yet no refund of difference. In our room the fridge had a broken foot and wouldn’t stay shut. The windows couldn’t open which normally isn’t a big deal except that the air conditioning didn’t work in the room. When that hallway is 10-15 degrees cooler than your room there is a problem. Informed they would let maintenance know. Our room, a king size river view room had a Murphy bed that was literally only 12-16 inches off the floor! In the middle of the night a trip to the bathroom involves a dang near broken toe on the wood and no quiet way to get out or back in the floor mattress. The only good part of the Murphy bed was that we could have closed it up and used our entire floor area as our dance floor since the techno beat dance music vibrating our floor from 6pm to 11:00 pm sure didn’t make it conducive to sleeping. Finally the parking garage across the street doesn’t offer in and out parking, and no leaving at night. I hate to leave such a poor review as I really love the location if going to a game.

This hotel is just ok. It’s really showing its age and the rooms are a bit spare and barren. But you can’t beat the price, especially in such a central location. I would not roam around outside at night however.

We had a river view from our room that was so beautiful. This was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed. In.

The rooms are extremely clean and the service is excellent! This is my go to every time I’m in Pittsburgh, which is quite often!

Beautiful hotel. We loved Judi in the Marriott Lounge. Had a great stay!

Everything was unique. The architecture was amazing. The whiskey bar was just super cool and the bartenders were very knowledgeable to our rookie understanding of whiskeys and such. Staff was very courteous.

Beautiful and spacious corner room overlooking the bridge and arch of the building. Loved the fact that the room had very high ceilings. Bed was very comfortable. Bring your own water as they charge $5 for a small bottle of water. Nice Aveda hair products (shampoo & conditioner). Has a fridge and desk. Cleanliness dropped a star due finding hair in the bathroom upon check in. Shower water pressure and temperature was excellent! Would stay here again for the price!!
