Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh By IHG

Stylish Boutique Base Steps from Pittsburgh's Music Scene

Modern and artful, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh is a chic, pet-friendly boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown. Just a short walk from the Cultural District and popular live music venues, this hotel blends creative design with upscale comfort. Many rooms boast city or park views, and thoughtful extras like pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TVs, and fully-stocked mini-bars make it a cozy retreat between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

With the Cultural District only 1,640 feet away, and major venues like PNC Park under a mile, you’re perfectly placed to stroll to shows without worrying about parking or rideshares. After the encore, unwind in a quiet, stylish room or head up to the seasonal rooftop beer garden for a nightcap. The 24-hour front desk and in-room dining make late arrivals and post-show cravings a breeze. Complimentary evening wine receptions in the lobby set a fun, social pre-show vibe.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish base close to the action
• Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
• Couples making a weekend getaway of it
• Fans who want a peaceful post-show wind-down
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want upscale style

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up or wind down at The Commoner, the hotel’s on-site restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Craving late-night eats? 24/7 room service has you covered. In warmer months, the rooftop beer garden is a perfect post-show hangout. Plus, downtown Pittsburgh offers plenty of walkable bars and eateries for every taste.

Nightlife Options

If you’re not quite ready to call it a night, the hotel’s rooftop beer garden (seasonal) offers a lively but relaxed vibe with local brews and light snacks. You’re also just minutes from downtown bars, cocktail lounges, and live music hangouts that keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s quirky, creative decor and praise the friendly staff and central location. Many highlight the comfortable beds, clean rooms, and the bonus of complimentary wine hours. The rooftop space and in-room amenities like the stocked mini-bar are also big hits.

Areas for Improvement

While the downtown location is a major perk, some guests note that street noise can be noticeable on lower floors — so if you're a light sleeper, request a room higher up. Others mention that parking is valet-only and can be pricey.

The Bottom Line

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh is a stylish, walkable choice for concert-goers who want upscale comfort, fun extras, and easy access to Pittsburgh’s best venues.
