Those are my sentiments. Sure, the Fairmont and Omni are high up there in terms of luxury, but they're not 5-star. They're close (4 or 4.5) but not quite. I thought the Fairmont would actually be the city's first 5-star hotel, but they gave it 4... I think Pittsburgh has a market for such a hotel. Maybe if they finally can secure financing for One Grandview, perhaps that could house the city's first 5-star hotel. Other mid-size cities have 5-star hotels, so why not the Burgh?
I haven't given botique hotels much of a thought, actually. Those would be a nice addition.
