During my recent visit to Pittsburgh I lived like a baron in the Mr. Boggs' Suite while staying with friends Karl Kargle and his partner in life and business Jeffrey Stasko at the former Boggs Mansion, beautifully restored and now called The Inn on the Mexican War Streets. Once the town home of financier and department store baron Russell H. Boggs, now it's an elegant Bed & Breakfast  rich in character with guest rooms that are as charmingly unique as their new proprieters.\n\nMy enormous room featured a king size bed, private bathroom with shower, large antique desk, table, marble fireplace, sofa, chair, and what argueably must be the most stunning view of West Park overlooking Lake Elizabeth and the Pittsburgh city skyline.\n\nThe Scene - Inside and out of the magnificent property is romantic and brooding with a wrought-iron gate standing sentry in front of the imposing stone facade and large front porch, picture-perfect for sitting with old friends over drinks and ideal for meeting new ones.\n\nThe interior showcases ornate chandeliers, carved fireplaces and while all eight spacious guest and executive suites featuring four-poster beds, private baths, telephones with voice mail & modem port, television, DVD player, on site complimentary movie library,  hair dryer, air conditioning, full access of the mansion's common areas, on site High Speed WiFi, an expanded Continental Breakfast Service and my personal favorite, the famous Chocolate Chip Cookies and snacks service presented every afternoon and evening, all while maintaing the character of a stately private residence from the magnate's opulent era.\n\nTo experience hospitality that is truly Pittsburgh, your first and only choice in lodging should be the magnificent Inn On The Mexican War Streets located at 604 W.
