Why It Matters
Ranked #8 Hotel in the Mid-Atlantic by Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice 2025 and named an Award-Winning Pittsburgh Hotel by U.S. News & World Report 2026. The building itself — a Beaux Arts Gilded Age structure dating to President Teddy Roosevelt's era — is a genuine piece of Pittsburgh history. The Commoner restaurant and rooftop Biergarten both draw locals, not just hotel guests.
A 1903 Beaux Arts landmark in downtown Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh occupies the old James H. Reed building — previously an electric company, then a law firm. The bones are historic, but inside it's all bold color, golden birdcage chandeliers, ceramic penguin desk lamps (a nod to Pittsburgh's hockey team), and tufted Kelly-green headboards. Across 248 rooms and 13 suites, it's the design-forward boutique option in a city that increasingly knows what good hospitality looks like.
