Best Luxury Hotels in Pennsylvania
PA’s premier city, Philadelphia, is the birthplace of America. Visit Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, explore the many museums and art galleries, and indulge in some of the best food and craft beer on the East Coast. Then there’s the city of Pittsburgh, with unmissable views from atop Mount Washington. And the complete change of pace experienced in Amish Country; here you can observe the group’s unique culture and traditions, taste homemade Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine and take a buggy ride through the picturesque countryside. Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains and the waterfalls of Ricketts Glen State Park are also well worth a stop.

The Oaklander Hotel, Autograph Collection
(4 stars)If you prefer a more suburban setting, choose this Autograph Collection hotel, named after its district (Oakland). It may be a little further away from the city’s nucleus, but is the briefest of strolls from neighbourhood bars, restaurants, the Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Memorial Chapel. A maritime blue colour scheme prevails throughout, with elements of monochrome in bathrooms and public spaces. 167 bedrooms have blackout drapes, laptop-friendly workspaces and eco-friendly practices (such as LED bulbs, recycling and environmentally-friendly cleaning products). Spirits & Tales is the hotel’s restaurant and there’s an in-house library.
