Rivers Casino Pittsburgh has announced its plans to break ground on a $60m North Shore hotel later this summer (June to September) in Pittsburgh, US.
The seven-story, four-star hotel, to be called The Landing Hotel Pittsburgh, will feature 219 guest rooms.
This property will attach to the existing casino on the east facade.
In 2017, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh secured approval for a hotel from the Pittsburgh Planning Commission.
However, the development plan was delayed due to the approval of gaming legislation that required category 4 “mini-casinos”. This legislation, according to the company, “reshaped the Pennsylvania casino landscape”.
Rush Street Gaming and Rivers Casino Pittsburgh CEO Greg Carlin said: “The time is right. Statewide gaming expansion changed our schedule, but never our intentions. Rush Street always envisioned a hotel for Rivers to create a full-service destination on the North Shore. We see it as a natural evolution.”

By GlobalDataThe Landing Hotel Pittsburgh will be the second location for The Landing Hotel, which opened in Schenectady, New York, in 2017 as part of Rivers Casino and Resort’s complex at Mohawk Harbor.
The hotel will create around 128 permanent new hotel and casino jobs, along with 1,400 temporary construction jobs.
For the construction of the hotel, Rush Street has chosen Pittsburgh-based Massaro Construction Group.
