Embassy Suites by Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown is the family-friendly pick in the city center, and its appeal is simple: space, a pool and breakfast included. As an Embassy Suites it offers suite-style accommodation rather than single rooms, which gives families and small groups room to spread out, and its amenities include an indoor pool, a free breakfast, a 24-hour fitness center and valet parking. Guests also mention river views, so it is worth asking for a room facing the water when you book. Downtown puts you within a short walk of Point State Park, the Cultural District theaters, Market Square and the bridges to the North Shore, so you can see a large part of the city on foot. Guests rate the hotel around 8.6 out of 10 from more than a thousand guest reviews.
Location and getting around
Downtown is compact. From the hotel you can walk to Point State Park and the Fort Pitt Museum, to the Heinz History Center in the Strip District by a longer walk or a short ride, and across the Clemente Bridge to PNC Park and the Warhol. The T runs through downtown to the North Shore and Station Square, where the Monongahela Incline rises to Mount Washington. A taxi or rideshare reaches Oakland's museums in about fifteen minutes.
Rooms and who it suits
The suite layout works well for families with children, for two couples traveling together and for anyone who wants a separate living area for working or relaxing. The free breakfast saves money for groups, and the pool gives children something to do after a day of walking. Travelers who prefer boutique character may find better matches elsewhere, but for reliable comfort and space it is hard to beat.
Good to know
Valet parking is available for a fee, so check the current rate and consider leaving the car at home, since downtown is walkable and the airport bus runs to the center. Rates are higher on weekends with big events, concerts or games, so book ahead for those dates. Always confirm the exact breakfast arrangements and pool hours when you reserve, since these can change.
