Landmark Pittsburgh Hotel to Get $ 15 Million Renovation

The Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel and Tower has been purchased by Boca Raton Hotellier Shubh Hotels, and the new owner is planning some much needed improvements to the downtown hotel.

According to the Tribune Review, Shubh plans to make $15 million worth of improvements on top of the $28 million purchase price.

Improvements would include interior renovation ( Changing some smaller rooms into suites, upgrading room decor, lobby decor and the restaurant ) as well as some much needed exterior renovation.

The Hilton Hotel has always been a prominent part of the Pittsburgh skyline, and a posh destination in the heart of Downtown. However, the aging building exterior has long been a poor backdrop to the spectacular Point State Park and it's dated interior has made it a B-list hotel destination for many years.

The hotel sits in a prime location with beautiful views of the point and the rivers, and should be a central hub for visitors to the city.
With the right exterior and interior improvements, the hotel will become an important piece of the downtown renaissance.
