When I needed a special escape without leaving the city, I discovered that these romantic getaways in Pittsburgh, PA had everything I was looking for. You’ll find skyline views, cozy corners, and unforgettable moments that make the perfect retreat for two—because I certainly did.

Highlights:

  • I stayed in a luxury downtown hotel with a spa suite and a rooftop lounge—you’ll love how the city lights set the mood for a relaxing night in.
  • One weekend, I picked a charming boutique stay in Shadyside, and it felt like our own hidden hideaway. If you like walkable neighborhoods, you’ll love Lawrenceville too.
  • I took a romantic walk along the Three Rivers and watched the sunset from Point State Park—it’s simple, but so beautiful. You’ve got to try it.
  • We booked a dinner cruise one night, sipped wine at a tucked-away bar the next, and I’ll never forget the candlelit dinner that wrapped it all up. You deserve those kinds of evenings, too.
  • If you enjoy old-world charm, I stayed at a historic B&B with a fireplace and cozy Victorian touches. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time, in the best way.
