"Now that we're nearing completion, we can feel the rising excitement and interest in the area," said Rodney Piatt, CEO of Horizon Properties Group. "This Cambria Suites hotel has become a catalyst for revitalizing the Uptown section of Pittsburgh."
The Cambria Suites hotel brings the latest in hotel innovation to the Pittsburgh area. Each room is larger than most standard hotel rooms, with separate work and living areas with ergonomic chairs, movable desks, luxury linens, and Bath & Body Works® products. In addition, the property will feature an 1800 square foot, three bedroom and three bathroom presidential suites with one of a kind skyline views of downtown Pittsburgh - a first for the brand. A 7th floor concierge lounge will offer a wet bar, flat screen LCD televisions and lounge space for guests to use and enjoy. The hotel will also have an exclusive 143 space onsite parking garage with access to the Consol Energy Center for event patrons staying at the property.
"This hotel represents the growing momentum of the Cambria Suites brand," said Kevin J. Lewis, president, Cambria Suites. "We're particularly excited about this amazing downtown property and the opportunity to work with such well-respected local businesses."
Like all Cambria Suites hotels, the Pittsburgh property will feature: Reflect, a contemporary bistro-style restaurant that features a full barista coffee bar and serves breakfast and dinner; Refresh, a state-of-the-art fitness center with an indoor pool and spa; and Refill, a 24-hour sundry shop that stocks freshly prepared "grab 'n' go" gourmet salads and sandwiches, as well as typical convenience items and healthy and organic foods.
