Beautiful Spaces: Where We Stayed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

by Gigi Griffis

Welcome back to Beautiful Spaces—a series of posts in which I talk about the places where I stay during my travels. It all started in 2013 when I realized that my contentment on the road is directly connected to how much I love where I’m living…and so made a commitment to find beautiful spaces to call home along the way. These hotels were kind enough to provide complimentary stays in exchange for this review, but as always, opinions are my own.


Welcome to Pittsburgh, a city I first visited about 10 years ago to kayak right through the city, eat the “best Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly” according to a college friend, and ride the inclines for a view over the city.

When I saw it was en route to Richmond back when we were planning our road trip, I knew I had to make it back.

And so we did, staying three nights in two hotels, one a charming B&B with a reputation for throwing amazing weddings.

Our first two nights were spent in the Morning Glory Inn, a beautiful inn built in the 1800s by a German entrepreneur. These days, the inn is known for hosting spectacular weddings, but, of course, they also host regular guests in between.

We stayed in the attic suite, which was composed of a cozy entryway area with a desk and a plush chair and a small table, a spacious bathroom, and a large upstairs room with a very comfortable king bed.

The house itself is full of antiques from estate sales, including a grand piano from 1890, and new-built furniture made to look antique. The interior is eclectic and light and Dave (the owner) says “I’ve never, in 20 years, gotten tired of the inside of this place”.

And if the interior is charming, the exterior is even moreso.

But enough words. Photos tell the story much better than words could:

Oh, Pittsburgh <3 I grew up on the other side of PA but spent a year living half an hour outside Pittsburgh and I miss it so much. This B&B is SO cute. I would definitely prefer that over the Omni. So much personality!
