Pennsylvania, where founding history meets river industry

Pennsylvania stretches from Atlantic-facing lowlands to Appalachian ridges that fold across the center of the state. Major rivers carve corridors westward, shaping trade, settlement, and industrial growth along their banks. Historic civic buildings stand in Philadelphia while steel-era infrastructure defines Pittsburgh’s skyline at the meeting of three waterways.

  • Pittsburgh gathers at the historic meeting point of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, where the two waterways merge to form the Ohio River at Point State Park. Water shapes the very outline of the Steel City, bending around the downtown core and dividing neighborhoods by bridge and elevation — a landscape so distinctive it has earned Pittsburgh its nickname as the City of Bridges. Steep hills rise quickly from the riverbanks, creating layered sightlines and dramatic approaches into the Golden Triangle, the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. Within this river-centered cityscape, Fairmont Pittsburgh stands in a prime downtown location near Market Square, placing guests steps from the city's most iconic landmarks, dining, and cultural attractions.
