The Priory Hotel

The Priory Hotel in Pittsburgh is a repurposed Benedictine monastery. The monks lived pretty well. We enjoyed a spacious king room with large windows and Victorian furnishings. Made - to - pre-order bagged breakfast that we ate in the refectory. We were among four or five guests. Not peak season. Pittsburgh in a January snow storm. Exceptionally efficient and warm front desk staff. The hotel is located in the remnants of an old European immigrant neighborhood that was wrecked by an expressway. We had dinner a few blocks away at Huszar Hungarian Restaurant. The restaurant is in a corner tavern on a somewhat run down block adjacent to the expressway. Do not be put off by appearances. The food was excellent. Chicken paprikash and a Hungarian pork schnitzel with great sauce. Side of pickled red cabbage. Sour cherry strudel for dessert. We were the only guests. We enjoyed hearing the life histories of the proprietor : cook :: wife : husband and the back story on the restaurant. We also appreciated an intense and civil discussion of Hungarian and American politics. Reservations recommended to alert staff that customers are coming.

They were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and went above and beyond to not only offer me gluten-free oatmeal, but they called me to say that I left my necklace behind, and even offered to ship it back to me (we luckily weren't far, so we were able to go back later in the day to pick it up). The bar tender, Michael, was amazing and fantastic to chat with while enjoying his well crafted drinks.

Nowhere better to stay! Highly recommended! Beautiful historic hotel with everything you need for a great trip to Pittsburgh. We stayed here on a romantic getaway and loved it. Lovely rooms with classic furniture and a comfortable bed along with robes and plush towels. All the small details combine for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the on-site bar with delicious cocktails, friendly staff, and shuttle service provided by Bob. So grateful the owners saved this gem from demolition! Check out this property and the others maintained by Priory.

Gorgeous adaptive reuse. Plenty of original interior details paired with high quality finishes. Delightful brick paved courtyard with verdant plantings and string lights. Monk's Bar was an adorable pre-dinner stop for our group of friends. Location is in a historic neighborhood easily walkable via sidewalks over the picturesque Seventh Street Bridge to the center of downtown and adjacent cultural district. Grab and Go breakfast was warm and ready on time with delicious house-made ham and cheese croissant, fresh fruit, juice, waters, coffee, and tea.

Very nice and clean. Super unique place to stay. Centrally located.
