Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh opened in July 2022 inside a restored 1924 Late Gothic Revival building on Boulevard of the Allies, taking over from the independent Distrikt Hotel Pittsburgh under Hilton's Curio Collection banner. The 185-room property keeps its industrial-heritage interiors while adding The Millhouse wood-fire grill and EP Lounge to Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle.

The place

The hotel sits at 453 Boulevard of the Allies, at the corner of Boulevard of the Allies and Grant Street in the Golden Triangle, Pittsburgh's downtown core, a few blocks from The Industrialist Hotel and Market Square.

The concept

The building began in 1924 as headquarters for the Salvation Army, a Late Gothic Revival structure by architect Thomas Pringle with a 1930 addition along Third Avenue. Its first life as a hotel came in 2017, when it opened as the independent Distrikt Hotel Pittsburgh. In July 2022 the property changed flags again, re-emerging as Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh under Hilton's Curio Collection: a genuine change of operator and distribution, swapping a small independent brand for Hilton Honors, not a repaint of the same flag.

The rebrand kept the Late Gothic Revival shell, restored stonework and marble in the public areas, while reworking guest rooms around a modern-industrial palette of earth-toned leather and steel accents. A check-in "offering table" stocked with local beverages and goods, a lobby library of board games and vinyl records, and a rotating contemporary-art collection curated by Nine Dot Arts spotlighting emerging local artists round out the public spaces, alongside a 10th-floor outdoor terrace over the Golden Triangle skyline and roughly 800 square feet of meeting space.

Dining & wellness

The Millhouse, a modern wood-fired grill drawing on Pittsburgh's industrial past, anchors the ground floor, while EP Lounge in the lobby serves small-purveyor spirits, fresh juices and zero-proof cocktails alongside light snacks. Both lean on local partners (Voodoo Brewery, Pittsburgh Winery, Nicholas Coffee and Get Hip Records among them) echoing the "community gathering place" positioning Hilton used at launch.
