Where to stay in Penn Hills
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Penn Hills is a township of quiet streets, and the Longue Vue Club and Golf Course marks the one address that draws travellers on its own account rather than as overflow from Pittsburgh. The scale is suburban. Rooms concentrate closer to the city, and a stay out in Allegheny County trades that density for space and a short drive each morning.

About Penn Hills
What are the main landmarks in Penn Hills?
Three names carry the register. The Longue Vue Club and Golf Course occupies the largest of them, while the Wyckoff-Mason House and the Morrow Barn keep the older fabric of a township that took shape in 1850. Golf, a house, and a barn.
Visitors from Pittsburgh come out for the first of those.
What is the history of Penn Hills?
The township dates to 1850. Farming ground gave way to a suburb of Pittsburgh over the century that followed, and Penn Hills later took home rule status, a standing that sets Allegheny County's second-largest municipality apart from the ordinary townships of Pennsylvania. The Morrow Barn survives from that earlier ground.
Where is Penn Hills?
Penn Hills spreads across some nineteen square kilometres of Allegheny County, immediately outside Pittsburgh and larger than most of its neighbours.
