Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel

The historic and iconic Renaissance Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh is in the heart of the Cultural District. Housed in the classic Fulton Building, the Renaissance exudes timeless old-world charm.

During a stay at the Renaissance, guests can appreciate the vintage architecture, take in a breathtaking view overlooking the Allegheny River, and enjoy state-of-the-art amenities. Accommodations include access to one of 291 plush hotel rooms or nine luxurious suites (such as the Phipps Presidential Suite), dining at The Opus Restaurant, sipping cocktails in either the Prelude Wine Bar or The Bridge Bar, joining a conference in the Henry Mancini Boardroom, or dancing the night away in the Symphony Ballroom.
