| - One thing Pittsburgh is not known for, but should be, is turning old churches into businesses, homes and even bars (gasp!). Most of the churches are so beautiful that it's such a great use of space. This is no exception, as it's just so unique inside!
If you're looking for that nontraditional hotel that's NOT a Marriott or Hilton, this is the place you'll want to stay! It's fashioned like a European boutique hotel, plus all the amenities you'd be looking for like WiFi, a shuttle and continental breakfast (score!).
It's also a really lovely place to have an event. For smaller events you can rent out specific parlor's for a reasonable cost and you're able to bring in your own caterers. I really like this option because you're not boxed into one choice that may be out of price range. If I would have gotten married in Pittsburgh, this would definitely have been my first choice for the reception. The Grand Hall is just gorgeous! It has the original church organ and stain glass windows. When it's all dressed up for the event it's just a stunning place for a magical affair!
The Northside of town, where it's located, has walkable access to the Andy Warhol Museum, The Mattress Factory Museum, The Children's Museum, The National Aviary, The Carnegie Science Center, PNC Park (home to the Pirates, go bucks!) and Heinz Field (home to the Stillerz, as we call them in the burgh). Some are farther than others, but there's always the shuttle if it's in our frigid winter season. In the summer, go for the walk so you can take in the sights!
There's also a lot of cute restaurants and bars on East Ohio River Boulevard, which is two streets up from the hotel. My suggestions would be Bistro to Go and Bistro Soul, Rita's Italian Ice (personal fave) or The Priory Bakery for dessert! There's also Legends North Shore not far on E. North Ave. about two streets up from E. Ohio and Amani Coffee Shop and Cafe for a quick stop for coffee or a great panini for lunch.
It's really a fantastic time to go in the summer because EVERYTHING is within walking distance. Plus they have a great farmers market in the park right along E. Ohio and they have kayaking in the park right by the Aviary. The big kayaking organization, Venture Outdoors is right under the 6th St. Bridge next to PNC Park. You're able to kayak around the three rivers for only $15 an hour! It's a great way to see the city!
This is your place for one unique stay, I wouldn't steer you wrong!
