Located ‘at the heart of Pittsburgh's business, cultural and retail hub’ the stunning modern structure is a combination of steel and glass that definitely stands out. Having opened in March 2010 the hotel comprises 185 guest rooms, 12,000 square feet of meeting space and a 6,000 square foot health club. Rich in history and teeming with art galleries, theaters and restaurants, Pittsburgh is enjoying a renaissance and if you happen to be in the city you have to make a stop at Habitat.

About the chef: Andrew Morrison, a native of Cheshire, England, previously served as Executive Sous Chef at the Four Seasons Atlanta and the Four Seasons Miami. He has also consulted, developed and launched several successful ventures, but it was his tenure as Chef/Owner of The Chipper, a fast casual fish and chip shop in Sunnyside, Queens that won him international acclaim. Food critic William Grimes declared The Chipper the “ultimate in down market, no frills fried food.”
From-scratch cooking and creative menu development are my strengths,” says Morrison. “I cook according to the ingredients I find - a deceptively simple approach that bolsters the essence of each ingredient and creates layers of flavor.”
