Our recent stay at the Omni William Penn was largely fantastic—the kind of classic, high-end experience you expect from a historic Pittsburgh landmark. If you’re heading to an event at PPG Paints Arena, the location is unbeatable; it’s a quick, easy walk that saves you the headache of event-day traffic. ...

Etage Executive Living
I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was exactly as pictured & was very clean. The game room was nice but it sucks it was only open til 9pm. Check in was smooth but one of the cleaning ladies were extremely rude to us during our time in the game room. But overall a good stay!
