News from The Inn on Negley!

As we greet spring, we’re honored to share that we have received AAA’s prestigious “Four Diamonds” rating. This designation is held by fewer than 1,600 hotels across the USA – only five in Pittsburgh! – and it is our privilege to draw the nation’s eyes to our beautiful, booming Shadyside community. Located just a stone’s throw away from the bustling hub of Walnut Street, The Inn on Negley offers luxurious overnight accommodations as well as lavish dining experiences – like our favorite Traditional English High Tea – in a beautifully restored 19th century period home. We invite you to take a virtual tour, meet our chefs, or secure a reservation on our freshly renovated website, innonnegley.com.
