Omni William Penn.

Opening its doors in 1916, the Omni William Penn is a centerpiece of downtown Pittsburgh that retains the grand proportions envisioned by industrialist Henry Clay Frick. The lobby sets a formal tone with its towering ceilings and crystal chandeliers, leading to a series of distinct dining spaces that lean into the building's heritage. Guests can choose between the wood-paneled Tap Room for a casual pint, the palm-lined court for afternoon tea, or a discreet, basement-level speakeasy that channels the Prohibition era. While the rooms provide a more traditional, stately aesthetic, the hotel’s scale makes it a hub for major events, housing three grand ballrooms and over 50,000 square feet of meeting space. Its central location puts the Cultural District and major sports stadiums within easy reach, often via the city's free downtown metro.
