OTH Hotels Resorts expands Pennsylvania footprint

Virginia-based management company OTH Hotels Resorts adds the Crowne Plaza Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh South to its portfolio. 

Under the new partnership, OTH will assume full operational responsibilities for the 179-room Crowne Plaza hotel, located in Pittsburgh’s South Hills neighborhood, seven miles from the city’s downtown core. As one of the area’s leading full-service hotels, Crowne Plaza has a mix of contemporary guestrooms and spacious suites, as well as a collection of modern amenities.

With 13,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, the property serves as a venue for a variety of events including conferences, banquets and weddings. Additional property amenities include onsite Gather Restaurant & Bar, heated pool, fully equipped fitness center and pet-friendly accommodations.

“We are excited to expand our Pennsylvania presence with the addition of Crowne Plaza Pittsburgh South,” Mack Sims, president of OTH Hotels Resorts, said in a statement. “With its strong location and full-service amenities, we recognize meaningful opportunity to enhance the guest experience and deepen the hotel’s connection to the South Hills community.”

Adjacent to South Hills Village Mall, one of the region’s premier shopping destinations, the hotel is also within eight miles of PPG Paints Arena, PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium — home to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Panthers, Pirates and Penguins.

OTH plans to integrate its proven operational protocols, guest-service standards and revenue-management practices to enhance the hotel’s performance and guest experience. Under the new management, Crowne Plaza Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh South will continue to offer its signature amenities including spacious suites, on-site dining, complimentary WiFi and event services, while enhancing service delivery across all touchpoints. Interior property enhancements are planned for the end of 2026.

“This property aligns perfectly with our strategy of operating full-service hotels in high-demand suburban markets,” said Scott McMahon, chief development officer of OTH Hotels Resorts. “We see strong opportunity to build on its established reputation.”
