Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

In the heart of downtown Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, a boutique hotel puts you within a 10-minute walk of Duquesne University and Station Square. You're minutes from the arena, Market Square, Point State Park and the convention center — perfect for concerts, conferences and city breaks.

This 185-room boutique hideaway channels the city's working-class grit with a modern edge: an experiential lobby with an 'offering table' check-in, a library for records and craft-beer hangs, and a bold contemporary art collection. Rooms are individually decorated with pillowtop beds, refrigerators, LED TVs, iPod docking stations, designer toiletries and bathrobes. A 10th-floor outdoor terrace offers unique skyline views.

Wake up to skyline mornings and keep moving with a 24-hour fitness center and bikes to rent. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, on-site shopping, an experiential lobby and the terrace round out straightforward, local-focused perks.

High-speed wired and wireless internet, a business center and express check-in make work easy. The hotel offers two meeting rooms and nearly 800 sq ft of event space, plus 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box.

On-site restaurant Christian James serves guests, while a snack bar/deli keeps things casual. Two bars and a lounge — plus the library's craft-beer vibes — cover after-show drinks. Full breakfasts are available daily (for a fee) to fuel your city adventures.
