What it’s good at
Notable
An 18-story 1902 skyscraper by Frederick Osterling preserved with terracotta masks and granite.
Listed
Lounge artisan workshops and river-inspired lighting reflect Pittsburgh's maker heritage.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto the Fourth Avenue Historic District, three blocks from Market Square and Point State Park.
The rooms
Open layouts connect bedrooms to dark granite bathrooms, and beds rest against backlit leather headboards.
The gym
Treadmills line the original street-facing windows beneath a patterned ceiling, flanked by free weights and a Peloton bike.
Bar
The Rebel Room
Cognac leather stools line the teal-tiled bar, where bartenders pour craft beers and cocktails under glass pendants.
At the table
The second-floor lounge serves morning coffee from a metallic-tiled counter, shifting to evening cocktails among low plush seating.
How it began
The 1902 tower originally housed the offices of James W. Arrott, an industrialist known as Pittsburgh's Bathtub King.
