Unique, Friendly and Interesting

by granmom

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay at The Priory Hotel. We welcomed the invitation to tour the three floors of the former Benedictine monastery with its tastefully decorated European-style decor We enjoyed the complimentary snacks and wine offered in the evening and we were impressed with how clean, comfortable and well-maintained the hotel is. Our room was CLEAN, comfortable,and nicely decorated. The courteous, friendly and helpful staff provided information freely when we needed directions to restaurants and area points of interest. As history buffs and classical music lovers, we enjoyed the softly-playing music as we sat in the Priory's lovely dining room eating breakfast. I wonder how it was when The Priory was a Benedictine monastery? We'll stay at The Priory Hotel next time we're in the area.

A City Retreat with Style

by salevick

My wife and I visited Pittsburgh to see family and to enjoy the new vibrant life that has been spoken of in travel magazines. The Priory was booked on the internet sight unseen. It is a little hard to find yet more than worth the effort. The hotel is of another era but the service is current with knowledgeable staff and and atmosphere that is seldom equaled. The hotel echoes the city and its comeback. The city and hotel bear a visit for those who enjoy food, wine, arts, sports, museums, and the zoo to only mention a few. We shall be returning this next summer to continue our exploration.

• Pros: The staff is excellent and the rooms are period but with modern amenities.
• Cons: A bit off the mainstreet but that makes it quieter.

I love the antique furniture, the staff are responsive and courteous--the food fabulous...it's a lovely place to stay if you want to be near most everything in Pittsburgh and you want something that isn't like a cookie cutter hotel. I highly recommend it!!
