With a blend of classic elegance and modern sophistication, the Omni William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh has served
as Pittsburgh's premier hotel since 1916. Architect Henry Clay Frick envisioned his creation as a showplace that would rival Europe's most elegant Old World hotels. By 1929, the William Penn had become the largest hotel between Pittsburgh and Chicago, and with over 1,000 guestrooms, an elegant Grand Ballroom, and the beautiful Urban Room, it was the region's busiest convention site. Today, this elegant Grande Dame features 596 beautifully appointed guestrooms, 38 suites, 52,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, and six dining options. It is a perennial favorite of movie stars, politicians, and business leaders worldwide.
