Each suite includes a 49-inch HDTV, microwave, refrigerator, work desk, and laptop-compatible safe. Embassy Suites Pittsburgh-Downtown houses two dining venues: Elevation, serving steaks and modern American cuisine, and Ollie's Gastropub on the 25th floor, known for vintage cocktails. The property maintains a heated indoor pool and 24-hour fitness center, while business travelers have access to meeting spaces accommodating up to 150 guests.

Pros

Sky lobby on the 25th floor provides city views

Eight restaurants within 0.3 miles, including Fogo de Chao and The Capital Grille

Complimentary evening reception for all guests

Pet-friendly accommodation for up to two pets

Cons

“This downtown property strikes me as a solid choice for travelers who appreciate historical architecture paired with modern comforts. The inclusion of both a complimentary evening reception and a made-to-order breakfast certainly eases the stresses of travel, and the rooftop bar is an appealing spot to unwind after a day exploring Pittsburgh. I think the fitness center and pool add definite value, particularly for longer stays when maintaining a routine is key.”
