Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, stands where the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela rivers all meet. Historically, the city has been a key strategic position. A French fort stood here until it was destroyed and replaced by a British fort named Fort Pitt. Iron foundries came when the city became industrialized. After the foundries closed, the city renovated the waterfront with new buildings, restaurants, hotels and boutiques.
The Fairmont Pittsburgh is in the center of Pittsburgh's business and retail area and offers views of the skyline and river.

Inputs for IPods, headphones and USB chargers are included. Two suites are available suites -- the one-bedroom is about 860 square feet and the presidential is 1,000 square feet. The presidential suite offers views of the waterfront.
