Hotels Near the Point in Pittsburgh
With 10 golf courses in a 10-mile radius of the city center, Pittsburgh is a golfer's paradise, but the Steel City has other attractions besides golf. The historic Point State Park is a National Historic Landmark and the pride of Pittsburgh. Nestled between the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, where they merge to form the Ohio River, the Point is an oasis of green history in the midst of the big city. The site of both Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt, the Point today plays host to festivals, concerts, school field trips and people in need of some quiet. There are a number of hotels that overlook this lovely space.
