Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown is the hotel for visitors who want to be at the Point. It stands beside Point State Park, the 36-acre park at the junction of the Allegheny, the Monongahela and the Ohio, so the fountain, the Fort Pitt Museum and the Block House are on the doorstep. It has a guest score of about 8.4 out of 10 from nearly four thousand reviews, which makes it one of the most reviewed hotels in the city, and it welcomes pets, though you should check the current policy and any fees before you book. For first-time visitors it is hard to beat for sightseeing on foot, since the Point, the riverfront paths and the bridges to the North Shore are right there, and downtown restaurants, Market Square and the Cultural District are within walking distance.
Location and getting around
From the Point you can walk along the rivers or cross a yellow bridge to the North Shore for PNC Park, the Warhol and the Carnegie Science Center. The T light rail runs through downtown to Station Square and the Monongahela Incline. The Strip District and the Heinz History Center are a short ride away, and Oakland's museums take about fifteen minutes by taxi or rideshare.
Rooms and who it suits
The hotel suits first-time visitors, history lovers who want to be beside the old forts, families who want an easy walk to the park, and event visitors for the nearby stadiums and the convention center. Ask for a room with a river or park view when you book, since views are the great strength of the location. If you want a boutique feel, other downtown hotels are a better match.
Good to know
Parking is charged by the hotel and rates change, so confirm the terms when you reserve, or travel by airport bus and leave the car behind. Facilities and restaurants can change through the year, so check what is open for your dates. Rates rise sharply for big sports weekends, concerts and conventions, so book early for those, and midweek visits in the off-season usually cost much less.
