The Spotlight on The Oaklander Hotel Autograph Collection by Marriott

Modern Sophistication in the Heart of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District

Modern and elegant, The Oaklander Hotel Autograph Collection by Marriott sits in the vibrant Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Just a short walk from the University of Pittsburgh and less than a mile from Carnegie Mellon University, this upscale hotel blends sleek design with classic comfort. With stylish interiors, a rooftop restaurant, and a laid-back lounge, it offers a luxe retreat for travelers exploring the city's music and cultural scene.

Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and a well-equipped fitness center—perfect for staying energized before or after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Oaklander’s location is a sweet spot for concert-goers—close to major venues like the Petersen Events Center and Carnegie Music Hall, yet tucked just far enough away for a quieter night’s sleep. Late check-out at 12:00 PM means you don’t have to rush the morning after, and the 24-hour front desk and room service are lifesavers when you’re coming in from a late show. Getting around is easy with nearby public transport and rideshare access.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore Pittsburgh’s music and bar scenes
  • Solo travelers chasing a once-in-a-lifetime performance
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans seeking a calm, upscale post-show vibe
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up or wind down at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, serving American fare with a view. There’s also a cozy in-house bar for an end-of-night drink, and you’ll find plenty of walkable cafes and eateries nearby. Craving a bite after the encore? 24-hour room service has you covered. Plus, enjoy a hearty American breakfast the next morning—even if you sleep in a little late.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a relaxed bar atmosphere, you’re just minutes from Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene. From sleek cocktail bars to laid-back lounges and music-filled pubs, there’s something for every vibe within a short drive or rideshare.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish decor, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms. Many reviews praise the hotel’s quiet atmosphere despite its central location, making it ideal for concert-goers who want to unwind. The rooftop restaurant and views also get frequent shout-outs, especially from couples and solo travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be a little pricey and tight, so plan ahead if you’re driving in. A few guests mentioned that the rooftop restaurant can get busy—consider making a reservation if you plan to dine before a show.

The Bottom Line

With its chic style, prime location, and thoughtful amenities, The Oaklander Hotel Autograph Collection is an ideal home base for concert-goers looking to mix music with comfort.

Fine.

Liked: Location (for CMU visit). Room was pleasant and quiet.
Disliked: Would have preferred a breakfast buffet. Entry is weird, through a side door of the garage, access via an elevator (two in theory, but usually one was absent for some reason).

Liked: Location was perfect for our needs, felt very safe, hotel was nice and clean.
Disliked: The checkin on the 10th floor was a little odd. Maybe pregame that in communication.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Shelby Fri, 31 January 2025

Unfortunately Lacks True Cleanliness

Liked: The restaurant food was of fine hotel quality. The staff were all exceedingly friendly and kind.
Disliked: The floor was covered in hair and debris. The bedding was unkept and there was significant dander and dust in the telephone. While most common surfaces seemed to be clean (vanity, desk, etc.), deep cleaning is not at all their strong suit. I cleaned what I believe to be dried vomit and urine off the lavatory door, wiped down door surfaces that had stains, etc. The management has yet to reach out and I was only given a 20 dollar credit toward room service and free microwave/mini-fridge (which costs 20 per day!! not complimentary!) in response. The halls and elevatory smelled significantly of cologne or heavy fragrance, so I would not recommend this place to anyone with chemical sensitivity issues. I was unable to address these issues immediately upon arrival due to a variety of factors and my complaints have yet to reach management.

Catherine Wed, 9 October 2024

Wouldn’t stay there again unless...

Liked: Room needs carpet or rugs. Promised a corner room but not a corner. Room was not very clean and beds are hard. Only plus was room was large. Not worth $839 on Sunday night!
Disliked: Cold hard floors, terrible lighting in bathroom, only one sink, not clean, beds too hard.
