The Omni William Penn Hotel, located in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh, has been a part of the city’s history, luxury, and elegance since 1916.  Built by industrialist, Henry Clay Frick, the hotel was designed to be one of the best hotels in the world. A team from Janssen and Abbot created the hotel's architecture. They were inspired by Beaux-Arts architecture and implemented its fascinating characteristics of Roman and Greek Classism in the hotel. This choice of architecture set a high standard for beauty and sophistication in the city.
