Cool hotel near Penn Ave in East Liberty. I attended an event here, Yelp's Makers and and just loved the layout. I am such a fan of great lighting, and when you walk in, it's pretty well lit. It reminds me of a hotel in Paris, but in Pittsburgh. Who doesn't want to walk in a place and imagine you are in a different country?
They have a restaurant on the lower level that I was able to try out, the Wallace Tap Room. It was good and inexpensive. They have valet parking, but I chose to park on the street. It was an event after 6, so you should be able to find a parking space on the street then.
If you want to host a nice event on the east side of the city, they have ample space and rooms. Be sure to go and check it out.
