Hotel Resources to University of Pittsburgh

Planning the trip: Lodging

If attending Family Weekend or other sports oriented weekend, Pittsburgh lodging options become difficult and expensive. It is wise to book well in advance. If on a budget, staying near the airport or other suburban areas, you can find cheaper hotels with availability. If staying close to campus or nearby downtown, options are limited and can run upwards of $200-$300 a night with a two-night minimum.  Some considerations include walking from campus if student is in a dorm vs. students living off campus. Parking is difficult around campus so plan your trip accordingly. Some of the hotels offer shuttles to Heinz Field which is where the University of Pittsburgh football team share a stadium with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Here are some helpful links to finding numerous hotels near the University.

Where to Eat?

Local restaurants cater to families and students.

Pittsburgh has a large international influence and you can find cuisines from Thai to Mexican all within walking distance of campus.

Pamela’s for breakfast is a must. There is a second location in Squirrel Hill if the University line is too long. Primanti Brothers is a historic Pittsburgh hangout and a ‘must’ for one of your trips.

Spice Island Tea House has incredible Thai noodles and a limited beer and wine selection.

The Porch is a bit more upscale but the flat bread open fire baked pizza is a must.
