1. Mansions on Fifth (from USD 226)

Mansions on Fifth was originally the home of the lawyer Willis McCook, his wife, and ten children in the early 1900s. When his daughter Betsy became engaged, he ordered what is now known as the Mansions on Fifth Hotel’s Amberson House, to be built. The mansion is 20,000 square feet (1858 sq m) in size and is of the Elizabethan Revivalist and Tudor style. It’s quite a site to behold and the inside is just as fantastic as the outside. These elegant guest rooms and suites feature a spacious bathroom with glass and ceramic shower enclosures, organic bath and shower necessities, and soft, thick towels to dry off with after a nice shower. Some guest rooms and suites feature fireplaces and jetted tubs as well. The prices aren’t so bad either, starting at 159 USD a night to stay in the beautifully erected home.

8. Private, cozy, historic suite near downtown

This is an adorable little suite that will really put Pittsburgh visitors at ease if they stay here. This is a part of a bed and breakfast, which makes it even cozier. This is a great one bedroom suite for a couple that is traveling in the area. There is one full bathroom and one bed big enough to share with a partner. And if cancellation is a must, there is the ability to get a full refund, including service fees, which is not very common, especially in city-type areas. There is a one night stay minimum, but for those that want to say a few days or even a week, this is great little accommodation for those that love being in the middle of everything in the city.
