About Pittsburgh
The personality of a city and its people lingers in a traveler's memory long after their visit. The Holiday Inn Pittsburgh Airport is a rare find: a modern hotel with all the amenities one expects, plus a focus on hometown pride, outstanding service, and a distinctive themed experience. This destination experience invites our guests to return again and again.
Lying at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is one of America's most livable and enjoyable cities. Having successfully transformed itself from an industrial powerhouse in the 1800s, the Pittsburgh of today is not only a corporate center for high-tech research, but also a city with a true sense of culture and fun, packed with impressive museums, spacious parks, and a wealth of activities for visitors.
A city of firsts, Pittsburgh was the city of origin for the Ferris Wheel, Bingo, the Zippo Lighter, the Banana Split, and the first World Series (just to name a few). It's no surprise that this inventive city offers visitors a host of attractions for all ages. From the Carnegie family of Museums to Kennywood Park, plus unique shopping and dining in downtown Pittsburgh and its many suburbs, our guests have no trouble finding something fun for everyone.
Experience a spectacular view of the Pittsburgh skyline (the Golden Triangle) from the summit of Mount Washington. Take one of Pittsburgh's 19th-century Incline cable cars up the mountainside from Station Square -- even enjoy a meal at one of the city's finest restaurants.
Be sure to visit one of the historic Carnegie museums. Choose between the Carnegie Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Science Center, and The Andy Warhol Museum.
Pittsburgh certainly has it covered when it comes to sports. The City of Champions is home to the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins, and the four-time World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Heinz Field and PNC Park are two of the most state-of-the-art stadiums in the country, and the new Consol Energy Center is set to open during the 2010 season. Make plans to watch one of these professional squads, or check out one of Pittsburgh's many collegiate teams!
While in town with the family, or if you just want to be a kid again yourself, be sure to visit Pittsburgh's Kennywood Amusement Park. The park identifies itself as America's Finest Traditional Amusement Park. Cool off on the Pittsburgh Plunge, brave through The Phantom's Revenge, or choose from an array of classic wooden coasters. If one park is not enough, check out Kennywood's water park, Sandcastle. Or head on over to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium.
