Hotel near campus?

I’m taking my son to look at Pitt in a couple of weeks. Any recommendations on where to stay? Prefer to be able to walk to/from the school if possible

I’ve stayed here twice. Basically on campus. Have fun!

Thank you!

@carachel2 Any other thoughts here?

Hey there! So there are now two hotels on the Pitt campus:

The Wyndham as mentioned above and the new Oaklander boutique hotel is right next to the Wyndham. It looks really nice! I’m sure it’s spendier than the Wyndham.https://www.theoaklanderhotel.com/

They are both literally right next door to where your campus tour will start so the location is great. Have a good visit! You didn’t ask, but dinner at The Porch is great and a good sit down meal on campus. Then you an walk down to Phipps Conservatory. Have a great visit…my daughter says they are having great weather.

We stayed at the Wyndham on campus and it was fine. We are headed back in a few weeks and I was looking for a recommendation as well. Maybe something in a “fun” area of town?

@burke1098 we love staying in Shadyside. We’ve done an AirBNB twice now and had great experiences both times. Such a nice walkable neighborhood.

You’re going to be there at a great time of year. You should go to the Falling Water house in Ohiopyle!

I don’t know about lodging but I second having dinner at The Porch!

Breakfast at Pamela’s Downtown is fun too.

And i happen to like Primantis.

I really like Pittsburgh. Have a great time!

There are lots of hotels. We have stayed at the Residence Inn on Bigelow, they had a shuttle that took us to campus.

There is also the Hampton Inn.

Both give a Pitt discount I believe if you ask for it when calling to book a room.

Just stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn- University Place at 3454 Forbes Ave.- less than a ten minute walk from the Cathedral of Learning, with lots of great places to eat along the way. Recommend Pamela’s Diner for breakfast!
