Morning Glory Inn


  • Inn Details

    Tucked away in the "South Side", perhaps Pittsburgh's most eclectic, diverse and dynamic neighborhood, is a delightful discovery...an 1862 Italianate style Victorian brick town house that, since 1996, has been Morning Glory Inn. You will succumb to a wonderful blending on "old and new" that is cozy and comfortable...and one block off "America's Longest Business Victorian National Historic District"...so it's walking to restaurants, jazz clubs,art/antique gallerys and "nich" shops.

    Very comfy for our short stay in a funky neighbourhood that's lots of fun. Little touches like biscotti and port in the library were appreciated.

    A quiet garden getaway just blocks from Pittsburgh's bustling south side shops, restaurants, & bars. Morning Glory is a historic mansard home conveniently located. Not to mention the breakfasts are delicious! I'd highly recommend staying here.

    My friend and I enjoyed our stay here. The house was beautifully decorated and felt very comfortable. We particularly liked the library room. The breakfast was exceptionally good. It was also conveniently located to the many visitor sites and the interesting Victorian area. I would recommend this B & B.

    My fiance and I needed a night away from all the wedding planning and we decided to stay at the Morning Glory Inn for an evening. Even though we are from Pittsburgh, just being catered to and having a wonderful stay and delicious meal was well worth it!
