HOTEL INFO

The original idea was to book a bunch of rooms on the North Shore, right near the Warhol. We tried the Residence Inn, Hyatt Place, and the Renaissance. But after getting prices of $275/night and up, we had a change of plans. The Residence Inn and Hyatt are both not taking reservations for room blocks due to a Pitt game that weekend (and possible Steeler game that Sunday). Having out-of-town guests fly into Pittsburgh, and asking them to fork over $600 for a 2-night stay in Pittsburgh seemed to be the wrong thing to do.

Instead, we booked a group of rooms at each hotel on University Blvd. There are 4 to choose from:

Hampton Inn Pittsburgh Airport

8514 University Blvd.
Moon Township, PA 15108
(412) 264-0020
$79/night - Doubles or Kings (non-smoking)
* Pets allowed
CUT-OFF DATE: 9/24/11

DoubleTree Hotel Pittsburgh Airport

8402 University Drive
Moon Township, PA 15108
(412) 329-1400
$82/night - Doubles or Singles
CUT-OFF DATE: 9/14/11 

Holiday Inn Pittsburgh Airport

8256 University Blvd.
Moon Township, PA 15108
(412) 262-3600
$99/night - Doubles or Kings
CUT-OFF DATE: 9/23/11

La Quinta Inn Pittsburgh Airport

8507 University Blvd.
Moon Township, PA 15108
(412) 269-0400
$75/night - 2 Fulls or Kings
CUT-OFF DATE: 9/23/11
  

When calling for reservations, please mention the Cooper-Smith Wedding Block on October 14-15.  If you have any problems with making these reservations, please contact us immediately.

As mentioned in the previous posts, these hotels are minutes from the Chapel, and transportation will be arranged to the Chapel. We will also be working on round trip transportation for anyone staying here...to the reception and back. All 4 of these hotels are within a few hundred yards of one another. So the choice is yours. We will be staying at the Hampton.
 
You are also about a 5-10 minute ride to Pittsburgh International Airport. And all hotels have complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport.

Post reception and late-night activities will be taking place at either Jacksons Lounge at the DoubleTree or Primanti Brothers (across the street and right next to LaQuinta).

If you truly wish to stay downtown, we did block a set of rooms at the Renaissance.   Rates are $300/night.  They are located at 107 6th Street, Pittsburgh.  Phone: (412) 562-1200.
