As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Pittsburgh certainly offers its fair share of unique experiences. Think about it. We can drink and eat dinner in a former church. Or, we can gaze out onto the river and the city skyline while having brunch in a former historic train station. And, we can get away – for a night or more – at this former YMCA that’s transformed into a charming hotel and a neighborhood gathering spot.
Tucked in East Liberty, the Ace Hotel Pittsburgh sits in a more than century-old, historic building that once housed the YMCA.
But, definitely make time to check out the rest of the former YMCA. The gym, for example, provides the perfect setting for watching the Steelers game with other fans, from Pittsburgh and beyond.
And, when you're hungry, head down to the Lobby Bar, where you can toast the Burgh with a glass of wine, a cocktail, or a beer. Nibble on snacks from the bar, too.
Or, sit down to a delicious meal at the Whitfield at Ace Hotel. Indulge in such scrumptious dishes as New York strip steak, smoked chicken, or roasted Pennsylvania mushrooms.
