The Industrialist hotel in Pittsburgh’s downtown financial district

”Feed your inner rebel,” entices the hotel’s sidewalk advertisement

My favorite new Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania hotel is a small downtown hotel with a rare and glorious name: the Industrialist. When I stayed there during a recent visit, I felt at home. A front desk clerk provided what housekeeping—a reduced service across the hospitality profession—could not. Bartenders Justin and Carlos took care of drinking and dining service in the Rebel Room, which is named after the capitalist who thinks different to make money. The Industrialist, like Autonomia, debuted in 2021.
