PITTSBURGH, Jan. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TRYP by Wyndham,
Wyndham Hotel Group's urban lifestyle brand, announces its next
U.S. destination: a transformed former school building in
Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood –recently dubbed
"America's Coolest Neighborhood" by Money Magazine.
TRYP by Wyndham hotels celebrate the spirit of the urban
traveler in the heart of the world's most alluring cities. Hotels
are infused with local spirit allowing guests to uncover each
destination's individual culture and TRYP by Wyndham
Pittsburgh/Lawrenceville is no
exception: creative adaptive re-use of a former school building,
the hotel will convey the spirit of Lawrenceville through design, local art and
true neighborhood dining.
The 108-room hotel is being developed by the Century Group, a
hospitality development company which owns and operates nine hotels
across West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio including several Wyndham Hotel Group
brands, and will be designed by Pittsburgh firm Desmone Architects. The hotel
is expected to open in early 2019.
"Lawrenceville is one of the
country's best kept secrets: a vivacious district of Pittsburgh dripping with its own take on art,
culture, food - and a whole network of breweries," said
Kate Ashton, brand senior vice
president, TRYP by Wyndham. "We hand-picked it as the next stop for
TRYP as we expand into up-and-coming destinations travelers want to
uncover. Thanks to our strong relationship with Century Group, we
have no doubt this hotel will deliver the insider's experience of
Lawrenceville for inquisitive
travelers."
Welcome to America's Coolest
Neighborhood
With a bustling art and design
scene emerging from an industrial past, Lawrenceville is a strategic destination for
the trendsetting TRYP by Wyndham brand offering guests access to
under-the-radar and up-and-coming locations.
TRYP by Wyndham Pittsburgh/Lawrenceville will occupy the building of a
former vocational school in the center of Lawrenceville. Building on the creative space
and central location, the hotel's design will celebrate the nearby
community incorporating the work of local artists and designers. In
addition to more than 2,000 square feet of meeting and event space,
the hotel will feature a street-level restaurant and rooftop patio
dining through collaborations with local chefs.
"As part of the Pittsburgh and
Lawrenceville communities, we know
how special this city is and wanted the right opportunity to
welcome travelers through the eyes of locals, " said Josh Aderholt, principal at the Century Group.
"As long-time partners with Wyndham, we've been looking for the
perfect opportunity to launch a lifestyle brand and knew that TRYP
by Wyndham– backed by the support of a hospitality giant and our
local expertise – would thrive among the distinct culture in
Lawrenceville."
TRYP's Proliferation Persists
TRYP by Wyndham is home
to more than 110 hotels in global destinations with distinct

Brisbane, Paris and Sao
Paulo. This will be the fifth U.S. location for TRYP by
Wyndham, which recently opened locations in College Station, Texas; St. Augustine, Florida; Xi'an, China; and Dubai, UAE – the brand's largest hotel at 650
