The Spotlight on The Priory Hotel

Old-World Charm Meets Music Weekend Comfort in Pittsburgh


The Priory Hotel is a historic boutique hotel tucked into Pittsburgh’s North Side, just across the river from downtown. Housed in a restored Benedictine monastery, it blends European elegance with cozy, modern touches. Think courtyard gardens, a crackling wood-burning fireplace, and guest rooms with city or garden views — all within easy reach of the city’s best live music venues.

Why Concert-goers love it


This hotel is a solid pick for concert-goers thanks to its location just over a mile from major venues like PNC Park and stages near the Cultural District. On Fridays and Saturdays, take advantage of the free shuttle service that runs within a 2-mile radius — perfect for a night out without the parking headache. It’s also peacefully quiet at night, making it ideal for recovering after a loud show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a unique and affordable stay
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples who want a romantic, historic setting after a night out
  • Fans seeking a quiet, post-concert retreat
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want style

Food and Drink Options


Start your day (or your recovery) with a complimentary grab n' go breakfast — ideal for late risers after a night of dancing. While there's no full-service restaurant on-site, you're just a short walk or shuttle ride from downtown Pittsburgh’s vibrant dining scene. Several restaurants and bars are within easy reach for pre-show bites or post-concert cravings.

Nightlife Options


While The Priory doesn’t have live music in-house, its location puts you near some of the city’s most iconic nightspots. From craft cocktail lounges to buzzing clubs in the Strip District and live music bars near the Cultural District, your night doesn’t have to end after the encore.

What People Say

  • Guests rave about the historic atmosphere and beautiful courtyard
  • Appreciated for its clean, spacious rooms and helpful 24/7 staff
  • The free shuttle is a major plus for concert-goers and explorers alike
  • Reviewers frequently mention how peaceful and quiet the hotel is despite its central location

Areas for Improvement


Some guests have noted that the hotel doesn’t have an elevator, so if you’re carrying lots of gear or have mobility concerns, request a lower floor. Also, while charming, the décor may feel a little old-school to travelers who prefer ultra-modern touches.

The Bottom Line


If you’re looking for a unique, quiet, and convenient spot to crash after the show, The Priory Hotel hits the right notes for concert-goers in Pittsburgh.

It was overall a pretty...

Liked: We enjoyed the European style of the hotel, the beautiful building itself. Meanwhile, It was more suited as a Bed and Breakfast than an actual Hotel. They had a gorgeous private back patio where music was played. Breakfast was served at a self-chosen time. Lastly, the shower was very nice and had a black light to clean any additional germs. And we had the softest bed to sleep on.
Disliked: We were not a fan of the rickety elevator or the little safety with the front door. We also didn’t have a fridge or a microwave. It was less of a hotel for that reason or more a B&B.

Different hotel in downtown Pittsburgh

Liked: The staff was wonderful. The hotel is old but well maintained with a lovely garden area. My room was small but ok.
Disliked: The area is rundown with many homeless people.The breakfast was terrible! With so many excellent bakeries in Pittsburgh, it seems like the hotel could do better than prepackaged dry muffins and microwaved breakfast sandwich. Ugh!

A brief but beautiful stay...

Liked: Loved the room, the shuttle bus, the amazing staff and recommendations where to eat.
Disliked: Maybe room service being offered could be a nice touch; mind you the breakfast hamper collect was novel in the refectory.

Period building with quaint bar....

Liked: Lovely period building with a lot of history. Quaint bar and outdoor seating area. Quiet location. Nice staff and comfy bed. Free parking, lovely takeaway breakfast selection.
Disliked: Our room was quite small. We did walk to the stadium area but the surrounding neighborhood is a little concerning, particularly after dark.

Beautiful, historic and clean

Liked: This old church hotel was beautiful, I would stay again and explore it more. There was a wedding happening the same time so it seemed to be busy but never to much commotion about . They even offer a shuttle all over so you don't have to drive.
Disliked: Breakfast. And that is just me nitpicking. It's not place you'd get a continental. But I don't think that why you stay here.
