The Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel Review

Friendly staff. Very clean. Ridiculously comfortable beds. Will definitely stay again.

A good but not first rate conversation of a historic building. Great location in the city. Elevators still need work.

I think the place is absolutely beautiful, but for 366.00, we should have at least had a Jacuzzi tub in the room, and a better continental breakfast.

Helpful staff. Easy to get in and out of downtown. Ask for a river view.

Fantastic location and extensive scotch collection in the hotel bar. Room was nice and quiet.

Overall a subpar hotel. First time here I had a horrible experience so this time I had gotten a club level room. The room on the club level is nicer but the lobby is still pretty trashyly decorated and the service of the reception desk staff is uniformly unfriendly. Pittsburgh is not Seattle or San Fran, so the client facing people need to deliver a solid experience and not worry about looking and acting cool and chic first.
And, housekeeping doesn't replace any towels either.
The club on the top floor has a nice view and decent snacks. Another positive is that there is a nice Bluetooth speaker in the room. Of course it is only good if your next door neighbor doesn't go wild with deep base rap.

Beautiful hotel right in the heart of the downtown district. Excellent customer service. We had an issue with our room when we checked in and they resolved the issue immediately.

Elevators were not working properly, it's an ongoing problem.

Nice hotel with a great ambiance. I didn't have the greatest of stays, but comfort of the bed compared to other hotel beds brought me to a 4 star. The location is also a huge plus. The negatives I experienced: My shower wasn't draining, my bill was incorrect, and only one elevator worked on my morning of checkout. As a result, it left a sour taste. The lounge access is nice, but not even close to menu items offered compared to another Marriott property in the area.

Nice hotel, big rooms, roomy bathroom and tub, comfy bed, great gym, but didnt give 5 stars because the internet kept going out.

Extremely comfortable bed. Got a great deal on this beautiful hotel through priceline. Everybody we spoke with, from the check in clerk to the manager to the housekeeping crew we ran into, was very friendly. If you're going to use the refrigerator in your room, make sure it's plugged in! Ours was not. As a millenial TM, I'm always amazed that hotels don't include free high speed secured internet. It was fine using the guest wifi for the free 24 hours.

The lobby and hotel itself seems so formal and impressive, but our room was a disappointment. It was oddly set up, and not well kept. Visible layers of dust on the ice bucket, torn wallpaper, and clearly dirty surfaces. It was a bummer, and unexpected. That being said - the beds were SUPER comfortable, which is important. Not the worst hotel I've stayed in, but far from the best.

The location is the best in Pittsburgh. You're in walking distance to everything... Sports, North shore restaurant and bars, cultural district for shows, market square, cheap parking, etc. The rooms are huge with assume views of the bridges and stadium. The only negative is the fact that the room air conditioning didn't work great.

The hotel is very nice but the service we received was mediocre.

Wow! Convenient, historic, elegant, great food, lovely staff!

Fantastic location. Excellent customer service. Top notch rooms.

They gave away our room even though we made an RSVP. Nice enough to give us a small room free of charge

The service was great. Concierage opend the door for me as I walked up and then helped me select the ideal room and amenities for my stay. The lobby was very pretty and the room was very nice - spacious, clean, well decorated. Bed was very comfortable.

We came here for our anniversary and splurged on a corner river view room. The room was great and the service from hotel staff was terrific, especially at the in-hotel restaurant.

Great hotel. Learn the history and walk around while there.

Great old and regal property, great location, great staff

Location and room was great but I can't give 4 star's because the Renaissance doesn't have a indoor pool this should be a must at a 4 star hotel.

This hotel's service is really good! I left my flat iron in the room when I checked out, and the lost and found center found it and mailed it back to me within a week! I am really satisfied with their service and attitude!

This hotel is gorgeous. I loved the room and the beds were very comfortable. It's a beautiful building and it's close to a parking deck.

Excellent
Was able to take my 3 dogs.

Decent sized room, clean sheets, and very nice lighting in room.

Great, unique building, with good service. Probably my favorite Renaissance property, definitely my favorite spot to stay in Pittsburgh. Check out the lounge upstairs for a unique view of the city.

I was there for a meeting. The conference rooms were welcoming but not distracting.

Attended a fundraiser at the hotel. The event was very nice. The event ran smoothly, the secure was good, and the facilities were clean.

Clean rooms, great views and helpful staff. This place is great!

Everyone was extremely nice and professional. We enjoyed the room! The bed was incredibly comfortable for a king size. Only complaint was the parking!!

Gorgeous hotel. Loved our room and our view. Quiet hotel.

Friendly staff in a beautiful hotel.
Rooms were comfortable and loved the Pittsburgh art throughout.
Few bits of paper trash left on the bathroom floor from cleaning crew or previous guests but not too bad. We would definitely stay there again.

Great staff, beautiful hotel and views. Free alcoholic drink of the day in the lobby. Breakfast buffet is kind of pricey but is really good and a lot to choose from.

Good location for conferences, clean nice rooms but the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed for football weekend.

Rooms are nice, beds are comfortable. Walls are thin.

Beautiful lobby area, rooms are spacious, beds are very good.

Beautiful hotel right in the heart of the arts district. The staff is absolutely top notch and friendly. You will be on awe of the architecture and use of marble in the lobby. The lighted glass cathedral ceiling at the top of the lobby is simply gorgeous. The barroom and conference rooms on the second floor are welcoming to guests. Great place to stay in the Burgh!

Great location, beautiful building, you can't go wrong staying here

I've stayed here twice, once for the Halloween party ( which is a blast) and another time for fun. The rooms are nice, simple and clean. The restaurant and bar serve pretty good food and delicious crafted cocktails. They have an extensive liquor and wine menu as well. The lobby is quite grand. It's a beautiful hotel. Worth the stay.

Fantastic staff, great food at Braddock's (we had a steak and scallops), clean rooms and comfortable beds!

Rooms are nice in a King. The air didnt work consistently but the beds and sheets were amazing very comfortable fluffy and soft. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous, ultra clean hotel right by the river and across the bridge from the stadium.

Great stay with a couple bumps. Really really nice hotel though. Modern upgrades and rooms seem to be recently renovated in past 3 years I'd say. Room had a decent view but also had a nasty creek in the door as you open it. It's was really horrible. I'm sure I annoyed the surrounding rooms. Funny story had me order something from room service. When the employee arrived I said, "tell me what you hear". I opened the door really slow and it was baaad but the Miss promptly told me she heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the Bluetooth sound box in the room. I cracked up so bad. She caught that over the squeaky door either there in her ear. Bravo! That seriously made my 1 night trip. Oh and those house phones at the elevators. I WANT ONE Please!

Sorry I don't have more pics.

Wow! Beautiful! Perfect! Loved my stay. Staff, food and rooms all amazing

Beautiful hotel, great location. Staff were all outstanding; from the front door, valet services, front desk and bartenders they all enhance this hotel. Definitely will stay here again when in Pittsburgh

The staff is really nice and helpful. The rooms are spacious and nice. Really comfortable bed. Only thing i didn't like was the TV. It was a bit of a struggle to change channels etc. Bathrooms are nice with a tub. Tried to get room service around 9 but they must have already closed because no one answered though I read a review saying they were open until 11... You can either pay around $30 dollars a day for someone to park your car or you can be smart and park it in the same parking garage as they will park your car but only pay $7 a day. (Fee for parking garage may be different on Monday-Friday) The hotel is within walking distance to lots of food places as well as the Carnegie Science Center, National Aviary, a children's museum and the Andy Warhol museum. If you're into sports you'll be within walking distance to the baseball and football arena. Not sure about the hockey arena as I didn't see it though I did see a lot of fans who seemed to be walking to the game.

The hospitality was superb. I fell in love with the architecture.

My husband and I stay here every year for our wedding anniversary. Love the atmosphere and the rooms are amazing. Hopefully next year we can book a suite

Please let me know how we go about doing that because it s not an option on your site.

Great view, good location and Comfy rooms. Also, the hotel has great architecture. The in room dining was good as well.

It is very big inside and looks beautiful. The people who work there are nice and told me of a few good sports bars .

A very nice and sizable room, pleasant staff, and overall good experience despite not being in the hotel much during the visit.

The corner room we had was nice, but the quality of the room was average.

Hotel staff were awesome, very accommodating and friendly. The hotel was nice, clean, and upscale. The food was great.

Beautiful and spotless. Great place to hold an event (I was privileged enough to attend a wedding here). The views are amazing.

Service was great and the rooms are spacious and comfortable

This place was GORGEOUS. It has some incredible architecture and the rooms are comfy and well decorated. We had breakfast at the restaurant and the portions were huge. Also a great location where you can get just about everywhere.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. Gorgeous and five star service. Classy, comfortable and still down to earth. Absolutely recommend to anyone!

My husband and I had a great stay recently. We booked it only a few hours before check in, then ended up arriving earlier than planned. The service at the front desk was top notch. A young man named offered us a choice in room location, and put us in a room with a great view. He went out of his way to make several restaurant recommendations and even printed out a helpful, detailed list of places to try. He then helped us find nearby parking as it was unavailable at the hotel for our stay. We graciously appreciate the attention to detail. What a pleasant stay!

Great Experience for any Steelers Fan ,so close you can walk , and on GameDay the line starts early
