Embassy Suites Pittsburgh Downtown
River-view suites close to Point State Park
About this hotel
This all-suite hotel sits in Pittsburgh's city centre, a seven-minute walk from the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and less than a kilometre from Point State Park, with family rooms featuring river views and a sofa bed. The indoor pool and fitness centre give a family a quiet place in the evening when Sandcastle is closed, and the on-site restaurant covers lunch and dinner with American cuisine, useful after a tiring day when nobody wants to search further for food. A bar rounds out the evening options, and the suite format suits a family that wants a bit more separation between a living area and the beds. Booking ahead is worth it during Pittsburgh's peak summer weeks, when rooms near either downtown or the water park fill quickly.

Our take
This suits a family wanting river-view suites close to Point State Park, with an indoor pool for evenings, alongside a genuine drive out to Sandcastle. The suite format is a real plus for a larger group. This is a solid pick for a family who has already decided which side of the trip, the park or the city, matters more.
- ✓Request a river-view room in advance if the view is a priority for your stay.
- ✓Walk to Point State Park on a rest day; it sits less than a kilometre from the hotel.
- ✓Use the indoor pool on the evening you skip a second Sandcastle visit for a quieter night in.

Why guests love itThe river-view room made mornings feel special before the drive out to Sandcastle each day, and the suite's separate living area meant the kids could watch television while the adults packed the pool bags in peace. The indoor pool covered one evening we did not feel like a second waterpark trip, and the short walk to Point State Park filled a quiet afternoon between park visits.
