The Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square is the pick for travelers who want to be across the river with the skyline in the window. It stands at Station Square on the south bank of the Monongahela, a restored railway complex of restaurants and shops facing downtown, and guests rate it around 9.0 out of 10 from more than twelve hundred reviews. Reviews mention river views and breakfast at the on-site Factory restaurant. Its great advantage is access to Mount Washington: the Monongahela Incline station is at Station Square, so the classic city view is a short ride up the hill, and the Duquesne Incline is a little further along the same riverbank. The T light rail also stops at Station Square and runs into downtown and to the North Shore, so you are well connected without being in the thick of the business district.
Location and getting around
The walk across the Smithfield Street Bridge takes you into downtown in about fifteen minutes, and the T makes it even faster. West Carson Street and the South Side Flats offer restaurants and bars, and the riverside trail is good for a run or an evening stroll. Oakland's museums are a short taxi or rideshare away, and the airport bus has a downtown stop within reach.
Rooms and who it suits
Ask for a room facing the river and the skyline when you book, because that view is the reason to stay here rather than downtown. The hotel suits couples, first-time visitors who want the inclines and the city view, and families who like the Station Square setting. Business travelers who need to be in the center of the financial district may prefer a hotel on the north bank.
Good to know
Station Square is lively in the evenings and on event nights, so a quiet room may need to be requested. Parking arrangements and fees are set by the hotel and the complex, so check them when you reserve. Hours and facilities such as the restaurant can change through the year, so confirm what is open for your dates. Rates move with events and the baseball and football calendar.
