Why Joinery Works for Solo Travelers

A hotel that feels like a neighborhood hangout, not a hallway of closed doors.

• Meet people on your terms. The lobby's 'offering table' check-in, library and record player make it easy to settle in, chat, or keep to yourself.

• Central by design. Joinery is at 453 Boulevard of the Allies in Downtown Pittsburgh. Cultural District (0.4 mi), Point State Park (0.5 mi), Acrisure Stadium (1.1mi) , PPG Paints Arena (0.8 mi)

• Right-sized rooms. A 210 sq ft Queen or 250 sq ft King room, with Wi-Fi, Keurig coffee, room service and a quiet night's sleep.

• Rewards for one. Book direct for extra savings and perks and ask about Experience the Stay (up to $50 daily hotel credit).
