A romantic hotel just over the river from the city. This was part of our big gay honeymoon road trip across the USA and we got a great welcome from the staff at reception and a congratulations card and complimentary bottle of celebratory wine delivered to our room!
Don’t be put off by the slightly run down feel of the area. It’s only a short walk across the river to the city and the views from the bridge are spectacular.
By the way, if you’re a gay traveller looking for the hedonistic, queer as folk Pittsburgh, it ain’t here no more!
We loved staying at The Priory, a beautiful, historical hotel tucked away in the City of Pittsburgh’s North Side. It was so quiet and peaceful and we loved The Monks Bar, the smallest greatest bar ever. We were within walking distance to dinner and attractions, and enjoyed a lovely continental breakfast in our room. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Found this gem within walking distance of pnc field and will definitely return! It was historical and clean. Every room is unique. Nice location to walk to the fields or even downtown. Delicious breakfast with hot items and friendly staff.
We had a wonderful stay at the Priory and definitely enjoyed the ambiance of the hotel. Our room was clean and well-appointed with a comfortable bed and large bathroom. Breakfast was wonderful, and we enjoyed the delicious fresh fruit, homemade breads, coffee, juice, etc. The free parking was a nice bonus, and we loved the free shuttle ride to and from dinner and the theater! How nice to park the car at the hotel and still be able to enjoy an evening out without having to drive ourselves! The shuttle driver was personable and friendly, and we enjoyed talking with him.

Established in 2015. Ace Hotel PGH resides in a historic, century-old building, formerly the East Liberty YMCA. We’ve preserved many features of its past — its windows, its ornate facade, its velodrome — in hopes of celebrating its rich history. Pittsburgh is a city we love for its neighborhoods. East Liberty, for instance, was once a free-grazing field in the shadow of the Alleghenies, and before that it was under the sea.
I love the casualness of Ace, the artsiness and the eclectic guests and the party that seems to go on every night at the bar. Not to mention nights of tango and dodgeball. Let’s just say Ace is alive, fresh and filled with artists that are either staying there or working there. The energy is a refreshing change from most hotel vibes. Gay-friendly, pet-friendly, artist-friendly and just plain old friendly with awesome food and a very good location to boot. Can’t wait to go back.
We thoroughly enjoyed the first night of our honeymoon at this charming boutique hotel. Gay friendly and in the heart of a thriving neighborhood of fund things to explore. Pillow top mattresses are super soft if you like that as much as I do.
At first, upon entering the lobby, we felt out of place with the number of young folks, similar ages of our kids. Our room was small with a large bed on a wooden platform which had sharp edges to look out for while moving around in the space. My ankle banged into it a few painful times before I learned to avoid. We grew to like the room more each day. The thermostat is adjustable, bed has plenty of warm blankets and the shower was always hot.
However, no grab bars to help climb out of the high tub. We had breakfast in the restaurant – excellent and good service. The valet always had our car ready when needed and even walked us to it’s parking spot when we left stuff in it. The lobby was always alive with people in the bar and on the couches or working hard at the long work table. All staff was pleasant and helpful. We recommend it and would go back – maybe ask for a larger room.
The building is a former YMCA and has kept its character of the building while making it a hip hotel. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms but had everything we needed. There are pegs all around the perimeter of the room so you can hang your coat, clothes and dog leash up. Large windows gave us a great view of the city and Pitt’s Tower of Learning.
Very conveniently located. A nice little stocked with great honor bar treats which we used for our items while there. The bed is a very comfortable platform bed.
This hotel use to be the YMCA. Today it’s a hip hotel where the community has embraced. The restaurant food was delicious especially the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake. The bar is known for its specialty drinks and craft beers. There’s a record player in the lobby along with vinyl record albums for guest to play. The large bedroom reminded me of my college room in the 70’s along with a window seat. The bed is low but extremely comfortable.
After five p.m. the environment comes alive on weekdays with business people, entrepreneurs, songwriters and travelers. I had a great time and customer service at the hotel was Great. Remember this hotel is not for everyone but for those who are young in heart.

The Inn is actually an old Victorian Mansion owned and operated by a male couple. The couple are very friendly and easy to speak to. Their love of this Inn is definitely noticeable.
The Inn is within walking distance of the PNC Park where the Pirates play. The PNC Park is south of the Inn next to the river with the Allegheny Commons Park West between them. There is parking on the street at the Inn but is city controlled (not owned by the Inn). I would stay here again if I ever find myself in Pittsburgh.
The mansion itself is a unique property located in a very walkable part of Pittsburgh and is easy to get to located in front of a very nice park. It took us 20 min during peak traffic to get to U Pitt.
The hosts Jeff and Carl are very considerate and friendly. Jeff provided is with great dining suggestions and we discovered a cute hole in the wall Nepali restaurant (Subba) within walking distance.
Breakfast is served in a beautiful room with classic decor and while fairly basic it’s adequate and the fresh coffee is great.
We stayed in Emma’s room which was pretty, spacious and had a nice roomy bathroom.
Overall Highly recommended.
