Lovely hotel. The upgraded room was a bonus. The view was amazing. Wish we would have been able to stay longer.

Great example of Marriott and other hospitality company down grading their offerings. Remodeled rooms are nice. (Executive. King. Corner. River View. $$$$) But concierge lounge had mediocre offerings. If you wanted a glass of wine from the cheap bottle of Chardonnay you pay for it. If you check-in before. 2pm it's extra $$$ even though I'm lifetime elite/platinum/titanium/presidents club/whatever. Staff interactions were fine. Great location to downtown and baseball park. Great view. read more

This place was a disaster from the minute we checked in with the two bitchy front desk attendants! Instead of welcoming us to the Marriott Renaissance, they greeted us with scowls and didn't offer us water or even check for an upgrade when we were promised one when we made the reservation. This is not a four-star hotel! It is like a 2.5 star At best, the rooms are totally lackluster and dingy and dirty and beaten up - and all of the staff that we interacted with were completely unfriendly and untrained. What a disappointment! This hotel has the potential to be beautiful - with its great architecture in place, but everything is dirty, shabby, and no one is even trying to be nice or helpful!! I would never recommend this hotel my worst enemy!! do yourself a favor and don't come here! Why would you pay to be treated like dirt? Even Scrooge and The Grim Reaper would be more welcoming than the servers at the restaurants and the people at the front desk here! read more

Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel - Bar area - Hotels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Booked a king bedroom. I'm very clean nice view of the stadium across the street. The bathroom was clean. Restaurant was very nice and the food was good. If you book your king bedroom with a breakfast for two you get two free breakfast entrées and two free drinks. It was worth it. read more

The rooms were an okay size. I got a king bedroom and I didn't feel cramped. Also got a high floor with a nice view of the bridges. The concierge lounge had okay food. Wasn't the best I've had, but consistent with the downgrades Marriott has done to their concierge lounge food options after COVID unfortunately. But the staff at the lounge (Judy) was extremely friendly! read more

Such an amazing hotel!!! The lobby is beautiful, and my room was huge with an amazing view! There was a clog in the sink, and when I informed the front desk, they were quick to take care of it. A few of the staff could be a little friendlier, but overall an amazing stay! They even brought my DoorDash Starbucks order to my room. That in itself deserves 5 stars!! Lol! I would definitely stay there again. read more

I visited this hotel for a work conference and found it to be a pretty good stay! The conference food was really great quality--definitely order their giant cookies! The Lobby/Bar area was nice and updated. My room had a great view had a cozy bed. The room did have a very odd smell to it but that could've been a neighboring room's takeout. Great location with many restaurants and things to do within walking distance. I'd be willing to stay here again. read more

I paid a hefty amount for my weekend stay and was extremely disappointed in the condition of the room. I opted for the corner suite as we were in town celebrating a birthday. The room was grungy and visibly poorly maintained. Valet staff were excellent; quick, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is beyond mediocre with chain restaurant options. The common areas are stunning! The view from my room was top tier but as I previously stated the condition of the room gave motel vibes. I reached out to the hotel expressing my frustrations and concerns, provided photos and no one reached out with an apology or resolution. I do not recommend this location. read more

The location is really good, but the hotel is not very nice. Our room didn't seem clean. There were stains on the furniture and the shower curtain. There was a tile missing in the shower and the toilet paper holder kept falling off. The paint was flaking off of the door to our room. The whole hotel needs a major update. read more

After visiting for the first time four years ago, we decided to give the Renaissance another shot by staying for a couple of nights during the holidays. The staff was welcoming and the hotel lobby was nicely decorated with a Christmas tree and other festive decor for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Our room was spacious and had a partial view of the river and PNC Park, which was fun to wake up to every morning. I liked the room but felt the hotel is really showing its age. While there have been some updates, they've been cosmetic. The bed was really uncomfortable, so I was unable to get a good night's rest. And the bathroom is quite outdated, with wallpaper peeling off in certain parts. This time around, the BonVoy lounge was open. Breakfast was eggs and bacon, along with fresh fruit, yogurts, and pastries. Simple but no complaints. The hotel has valet parking but if you're there on a weekend, the garage across the street has a flat rate of $8 (no in-and-out privileges). As far as location goes, this is a great place to stay! read more

Wow wow wow! We stayed overnight in downtown Pittsburgh and chose the Renaissance because of the idea of having a river view. It was absolutely beautiful now that the sister bridges are completed. We found ourselves walking over to the windows multiple times to look at the views outside of the bridges and ballparks. Check in was very easy and the woman at the front desk was welcoming. The room was a king bed with a river view. The lobby is gorgeous as well when you walk in, there is a beautiful staircase. read more

The Renaissance Pittsburgh is a lovely property, which I would return to in future travels. Rooms: + They are spacious. This is the opposite of New York City sized properties. In a standard room, I felt like I had more than enough space to spread out. Service: + Everyone I came in contact with was helpful. For example, in the morning, the Elite club lounge was not open at the promised time. I went downstairs to the front desk to ask if they had any more information, and they immediately comped a breakfast at the restaurant. For Platinum + elites, the club lounge provides heavy appetizers for dinner that would likely be sufficient for dinner if you stretch it. Open the rest of the day with access to water/soda. read more

Great location, VERY small accommodations! The hotel is beautiful and is in an amazing location located downtown Pittsburgh with view of the baseball stadium and lots of food options within walking distance. We parked across the street in the parking structure to avoid the steep $41 nightly valet cost. I am a diamond member so upon arrival I did not revive a room upgrade as expected but I did receive coupons for breakfast for both all 3 nights of my stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast unfortunately was very underwhelming. I would return to this hotel but I would need to get a bigger room because the room is definitely not worth the price. read more

Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel - View from toom - Hotels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

For us the location was perfect. We were coming in for a shirt quick visit and got tickets to the Pirates game. Location was amazing, right across from PNC Park! Valet parking at hotel was $50, we parked in the parking garage right across the street over night for $18. Super convenient. Hotel will allow you to pull up and unload but it wasn't necessary as we packed light. Beautiful hotel with lots of history. Loved our room though the door lock was very tricky. Lounge was not available which was a bit disappointing especially for platinum members. Good thing our time was limited. All and all I would definitely give it another try. read more

In summary- the hotel needs a renovation but they have a done a lot to make it the best it can be before indulging in the big ticket items. I liked the location and would stay here again. . Pros I did get upgraded to a high floor with a view. Lobby is breathtaking! Great gym!!! Judy in the lounge (yes- they have an exec lounge!) Hot shower with great water pressure. Nice new decor Big screen TV Only 1 block from Starbucks Bar in hotel was lively View from room was nice. Dark hallways which I prefer. Staff friendly. Cons No full length mirror The TV was stuck on the bonvoy commercial. I had to call an engineer up to reboot Room was small and had an adjoining door, which I hate and requested not to have. Gym had some broken equipment: Recumbent bike made a weird clicking noise at first and then broke. One of the four ellipticals was broken After I checked in, I had trouble logging into the WiFi. They have a "work around" where you click "sign in with access code". I never saw that option. And I did not want to spend what little time I had going to the front speak for them to trouble shoot. I ultimately used my personal hotspot from my phone. Later it worked. read more

We have stayed at this hotel briefly for several nights and here is the review in detail details: Rooms: not very spacious, interesting colors with industrial feel decorations, not in a bad way, just a little difficult to feel completely relaxing due to the color theme. Room service was very good. Bathroom was spacious. Amenities are good. They have a good size gym. A good number of conference rooms on the second floor. Food and drinks: they only have one restaurant on site and with limited opening hours. Quality of food was good though. They have one bar on site. The bar opens for a much longer time than the restaurant, however, given its location there is no shortage of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Services: this is one of the areas I was the least pleased with at this hotel. From the day we check in to the hotel and through our stay, the staff that worked in the bar, the services were just not good. During our check-in, both my husband and I felt there was a little attitude during our check-in process, not sure if the attitude was towards to us or the lady was having a bad day. And for the three times I visit the bar. None of the bartenders offered me a food menu nor told me I was able to order food at the bar, nor even come to the table for any service while I was sitting at the table . The only reason I found out I can order food from restaurant at the bar was by walking to the restaurant and the wait staff in the front told me about it. My experience was basically if you are not placed yourself right by the bar there is no service for drinks or food. Which is definitely something this hotel management need to work on. The location of this hotel it's very convenient . Walkable to town center, restaurants, bars, bridges to across to the otherside of the water, to the stadium, museum, and many more. There are many activities nearby, including, but not limited to museums, sports and concert at the stadium , boat ride, community events in town center area, Theatre plays or movies, at many more. As a high-level Marriott elite member . I did not feel like I was appreciated by staying here . Since there are so many hotels in the vicinity, I definitely cannot say I will return to this hotel given my experience from this time. read more

Stayed at the Renaissance during the quarantine period as the hotel was getting back to normal. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, there are these double cascading staircases in the lobby that kind of remind you of a grand entrance of a Disney Princess movie. Staff is super nice too. We got placed into a handicap room and so the room was substantially bigger and the views were gorgeous - the bathroom had a giant window to see all three of the iconic yellow bridges. However, I do feel like the hotel is a bit old. The shower system was a little bit janky - you had to constantly adjust the temperature because the water temperature is dependent on who else also uses the shower. Also the room is really dark, they only have two lamps so at night it gets super dark. Overall, its a great hotel but the water temperature problem as well as the darkness of the room irked me a little bit. read more

My go to hotel when traveling to Pittsburgh for business. Love the location near PNC Park and the ambiance of the hotel being in a restored historic building. Wish there were better dining options that were walkable but maybe I just haven't found the right place yet read more

Luxurious stay with a great view. The Renaissance Pittsburgh is located on the north side of downtown with a great view of the river. Fairly close to lots of dining and a few bars, the location works well to explore downtown or see the city. Parking is expensive (and street parking is limited) but there are parking garages fairly close. The lobby is fairly spacious, with a small check-in desk. Very friendly staff, and efficient - got room key quickly and into room on time. Got a river facing corner room, and tons of windows (took forever to open and close the curtains). Rooms are very spacious, with plenty of seating. Nice size TV, very comfortable bed. However, power outlets can be hard to find (and I cut myself on the furniture trying to get to outlets) which is not great. Definitely worth a stay, but does need to fix any potential safety issues and increase availability of outlets to convenient places. read more

I have been the renaissance hotel lobby many times but this is the first time I ever stayed here. I was in a wedding being held at the hotel - Saturday morning we had to start getting ready at 8 but my friend and I booked a room together for that night. When we arrived we let them know we were in the wedding and asked if there was early check in available since once 2pm hit there was no way we'd have time to check in until after dinner. They were able to give us the last queen room and let us check in right then which was awesome! The room it's self was fine - clean and had a great view. This is a wonderful place for a wedding! The event coordinator was great and the stair case is prefect for the ceremony. The bridal suite was amazing and had the prefect balcony! Would definitely recommend this hotel!! read more

Exceptional service, beautiful rooms, and a great bar and dining room. We also loved the coffee shop in the hotel, which served incredible coffee starting at 6:30 AM. If you get the chance to stay at the Renaissance, you will be treated very well! read more

So glad we stayed here. Perfect location. Super nice staff. Loved the Aveda Rosemary Mint products in the bathroom. Overall fabulous time.

Great staycation for anniversary. The hotel, room, views, and access to great spots downtown and north shore. The main reason this was a 4 star review and not 5.... An upper level out for terrace would put this hotel over the top (as far as I know there are only outdoor patios/terraces for a few of the most expensive suites), and the hotel restaurant (Braddock's Rebellion) was good, not great. That said, it is a great spot with potential, and if your a "foodie" you have several great options within a couple blocks. There is inexpensive garage parking right across the street, which helps save some $ over valet fees. Check-in was quick and staff is excellent. read more

Nice boutique hotel close to PNC Park. Renaissance was a breath of fresh air After a horrific hotel stay in Niagara Falls, and also a mid-level hotel stay a day earlier out in the PGH suburbs. To boot, the Renaissance pipes in a really nice smell, so it was a doubly breath of fresh air! Funky decor, artwork, and a nice high-ceilinged lobby area gives this hotel a cool vibe. There was a cosplay convention happening nearby, and lots of players were staying in the hotel, and that was fun. Cool clientele. We loved our room, everything was clean, comfortable, and there were more cool art and boutique touches in the room. I got a local craft beer at the bar, and we wound down our night with some board games in the lobby, and it was a perfect way for us to refresh on our last night in Pittsburgh for the long car drive home. Recommend! read more

Came in for a long weekend stay to really get to see Pitt. I have been in town many times, but never really focused on getting to know the city that well. We stayed in the heart of it.

A solid 4-star hotel stay. The good: - location, close to all the famous restaurants in town on Sixth Avenue - beautiful lobby (plus Starbucks open in the mornings) - fast and roomy elevators The not so good: - the bed was not comfortable. I am not sure if I am in the minority here? My partner and I had a queen-sized room, and neither of us slept well here. When we woke up, we both talked about having a sore back - the walls are thin, you can hear people walking by your room in the hallway - the room is not very clean. The mattress has bed bug covers, so no bed bug problem here. However, my friend and I spotted several tiny insects crawling on the lamp, trash can, and bathroom window. It didn't bother us that much, so we stuck to our room. But I expected higher cleaning standards from the brand - there is no swimming pool? Why not? - the bathroom toiletries seem to be lacking. There were only shampoo, conditioner, makeup remover wipe, and bar soap. I honestly expected more from the brand! Like mouthwash perhaps? Or Q tips? The Renaissance is actually ranked fairly high in the Marriott chain in the city. However, I might check out another hotel the next time I am in town. read more

Great, beautiful room. The bed was very comfortable. The service was okay. The breakfast buffet was almost empty half an hour before closing and no one came to fill it up. Luckily the associate at the front desk apologized about it and gave us coupons to eat at the restaurant on the first floor. Another problem was the bathtub and the sink - they were completely clogged and we had to wait a while until it drained. On the other side, I would definitely come back because the location was perfect for us. read more

Stumbled upon Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel while visiting Pittsburgh for an East Coast college tour, and we were in search of a reasonably priced, centrally located, nice hotel. We found Renaissance via Kayak and it came highly recommended - and they were right! Location is awesome...right near wonderful food, next to the bridge and right across the street from Pirates stadium. Hotel was very nice, beautiful lobby, friendly staff and reasonably priced - great value. Room was very spacious and all around a great experience. Shower/water pressure could use some work - but that is about it. read more

A long overdue review! We stayed here Thanksgiving weekend. A big shout out to Stephanie at the front desk. She is amazing and truly one of the nicest people I have met! Our room was amazing, overlooking the baseball field and river. The bed was yummy and the restaurant breakfast food is delicious. Stephanie really made our visit special! read more

Very nice and high end hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. It was pretty much right across the street from the river which means if you have room facing that direction you have a pretty good view. Polite door men here as they open the door for you every time and greet you as well and of course they offer to grab your luggage when you arrive. The lobby area is nice with a decent seating area as well as cafe/restaurant which had a great breakfast. The rooms were very nice and modern as well. Spacious and clean. Definitely a repeat visit if I am back in the area. read more

Had a wonderful stay here to celebrate a special anniversary and to attend Light Up Night. The front desk staff, especially Tanesha, were extremely friendly. They upgraded our room and provided a complementary breakfast because of our anniversary. They even surprised us with cupcakes and a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate. The location was very convenient to the Light Up Night activities. The room was clean and spacious. The historic lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The food and the service in the lobby restaurant were very good. Room price given the location and Light Up Night activities was very reasonable. read more

Well I hope the stay finishes better than it starts. I really hate when you check in and there are not enough towels in the room for all the guests. Waiting nearly 90 minutes now at just past midnight for towels so we can freshen up. wedding parties in the hotel make it a bit rowdy Room is good and the view is fine. Would be better if it looked out over the river. Cant have everything Clearly the hotel is under staffed. If you request housekeeping. Why just why do you not put the appropriate number of towels in the room Braddocks revenge good breakfast. Still understaffed. Really good waiter. Wish I could remember his name. I upped it to 4 stars. Overall a good hotel Also wish that they had parking although having the public garage across the street was ok read more

I decided to move to Pittsburgh ...really this is a fantastic city. Loaded with museums,sports , restaurants etc So in my search for a house I was also searching for the perfect place to stay Coming almost every other weekend for six months The Renaissance won out by far Perfect location Easy in and out parking garage right across the street they do valet but it's not worth the cost The lobby itself stunning just look up at the beautiful stained glass. There is a bar and a restaurant plus a coffee stand with really good coffee Staff is always friendly and welcoming Rooms are either huge or really huge Huge windows great bathrooms mini fridges a desk and a table Very comfortable bedding I've stayed in corner rooms and regular rooms. The best are the ones facing PNC park You can walk to theaters sports even museums It's really a 5 star hotel read more

Arrived and waited almost 10 minutes before reception person appeared. Room was nice. Room service would not deliver to room...had to pick up food at front desk. Was billed for room and was ALSO surprisingly billed for a "NO show" for that same night. How does that happen??? When I called to have this fixed. I couldnt reach the billing dept. I left 3 messages and no call back. FINALLY someone who answered main line helped and credited back to my account. Hotel screws up but doesnt want to fix the problem. I wouldnt have even given a somewhat negative review IF their mistake would have been corrected immediately. read more

LOVED THIS HOTEL. Probably the most beautiful place we've stayed. Pretty from the outside and inside. The staff was more than helpful in any way possible.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our Two Year Anniversary. This hotel is gorgeous!! The staff was super friendly. They did an excellent job implementing the covid guidelines. We felt safe and happy the entire stay. The lobby was so adorable. We loved the bar and restaurant, even though a lot of it was closed due to COVID. The lobby is so cool and almost Harry Potter-looking. The views!!!! We got a river view room and we were able to watch the Pirate's game from our room. It was amazing. This is the most beautiful hotel that I have ever stayed in in Pittsburgh. It was so easily walkable to both downtown and North Shore (we walked both before and after dinner and felt perfectly safe and okay with the distance.) We will definitely stay again!! read more
