1st time to Pitsburgh-HELP
 

My husband and I will be in Pittsburgh for 3 nights and would like recommendations where to stay (we'd like to be in the "heart of the action" within walking distance to good restaurants) <BR>If possible, we'd like to stay in a Starwood Property (Sheratons, Westins, Four Points) because we have a $100 voucher we can apply towards the room cost.....(but I guess this isn't mandatory) <BR>Any suggestions?? <BR>Thanks. Marcie

Don't know where to tell you to stay, but first, I assume you're talking about Pittsburgh, PA. <BR> <BR>From what I understand, the Strip District is really hopping at night. On your way home, don't forget to stop by Permani (sp?) Brothers. Do a search on Pittsburgh and see what you find.

I live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, have no idea what kind of action you are planning while you are here, but there is a very nice Sheraton Station Square (412-261-2000) directly across the river from the city, accessible by the T (light rail transit), taxi, or by walking across the bridge (long walk tho). Many downtown restaurants offer free transportation between Station Square and the downtown area. Station Square is a restored railroad terminal, some nice restaurants, bars, comedy club, upscale shopping. <BR> <BR>Also downtown are the Pittsburgh Hilton (412-391-4600), Doubletree (412-281-3700), Marriott City Center (412-471-4000)and Westin (412-281-7100). I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I'm most familiar with. <BR> <BR>Where you stay really depends on what you want to do. <BR> <BR>Visit www.realpittsburgh.com for some more info.

The Andy Warhol museum is also in Pittsburgh, where he was originally from. Last year we changed planes in Pittsburgh and I wanted so badly to visit the museum, but was afraid there wouldn't be be enough time. Just FYI, in case you like his art.
