Shadyside

Fifth Avenue where the Shadyside Inn Suites is located was once known as Millionaires Road. Along a mile stretch of the road Pittsburgh's most talented built mansions along the tree lined roads. Being only about 3 1/2 miles from the heart of downtown Pittsburgh meant that these people could be close to work yet not live within the busy streets of the city. As the area grew there was a need for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Less than two blocks from Millionaires Road entrepreneurs and developers began inhabiting a four block area of Walnut Street. There they built high end stores, four star restaurants, and of course bars and saloons.

Over the years this area became the premier upscale neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The Shadyside area is the place where the best and brightest of Pittsburgh still live today. Its commercial district features the best shopping, dining, and entertainment the city has to offer.
