We booked our weekend via a discounter. We got an excellent rate so we expected a mediocre room near the elevator [ding] or ice machine [crash] and a less than friendly reception. Boy, was I wrong! I was pleasantly surprised from moment one. We pulled up and asked where to park, the valet was so friendly and told us he'd... More

My husband, toddler, and I needed a room for one night in Pittsburgh while driving to the East Coast, and the Omni William Penn was the hotel we selected. Conveniently located in the middle of Pittsburgh's downtown area, this opulent hotel was beautiful and clean. Our room - with two double beds, a fridge, an incredibly comfortable chair, and a...

We ended up at the Omni William Penn by chance and could not have been happier! The hotel still has all the sophistication and elegance as it probably did when it opened back in 1916 but also has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. When we arrived we were greeted by John Paul who is a bell hop that is... More

If you are looking for something different then this is your place, not a typical chain hotel. They have absolutely respected the beautiful architecture and design the build had in its day. The service was great, no complaints.

We stopped at this hotel on our way to Michigan and I'm so glad we did! We got a great deal on priceline and were at first told that we could only have a room with one queen sized bed, which would have been pretty uncomfortable for two non-related women. However, after speaking with a very nice hotel rep, she... More

This is a beautifully characters hotel with some nice bars and resturants. Clearly worth a visit. The staff are friendly and the rooms great. Gotta do this with the wife for a romantic venue. The Taps bar is excellent

When you pay a lot for a hotel, you expect a lot - and sometimes the hotel fails to deliver. But not the Omni in Pittsburgh. I was here three nights on business and found the rooms a pleasant mix of old school charm and modern convenience. (The motion detector night light really tickled me.) The staff is very helpful...

Stayed two nights for a conference. 14th floor room was enormous, clean, comfortable. Join the hotels honored guest program and get free wifi, newspaper and a beverage and mini muffin delivered outside your door in the morning. The lobby is spectacular. All the employees i interacted with were pleasant and smiling. Hope to make it back someday!
