| - Easily the best hotel in Pittsburgh. I walk past the Fairmont on my way to work every day, but this weekend was my first time actually staying there. The basic two queen and single king rooms are lovely, with clean bathrooms, fresh linens, quick and immaculate service. But once you see a suite, you'll never want to leave...
My sister booked the Harris Suite for her wedding. After checking in, she texted, "Wow. It is so HUGE that it has a guest bathroom." I thought she was joking...nope. This suite also had a dining room, living room, and kitchen with a staff entrance. Between the enormous size and the comfy yet-chic-furnishing, I wanted to move in. We had 6 girls in there with two hair/make-up people and two photographers, but somehow it didn't feel crowded. The views were incredible--the Incline and PNC Park on either side--and the suite had both binoculars and a telescope to help take it all in.
The only miss was the post-wedding brunch. The food wasn't too great: the fruit was rotting, the eggs were alternatively overdone or runny, but the muffins were excellent.
Andy's is the lobby bar, and the drink prices were pretty decent for a hotel (or wander down to Meat & Potatoes around the corner).
One gigantic faux pas is that they charge $14.95 per day for wifi, even in the suites...A guest bath, but no internet...C'mon, Fairmont, you're better than that.
