How big of a deal is it if one of Pittsburgh's largest and most recognizable hotels can't finish its highly visible addition when Pittsburgh takes the world stage in September?  Maybe it won't matter much in the end, considering the city's various concerns in hosting the world's top finance ministers for the G-20 Summit in late September. Still, it's a question that many people are asking today as the Hilton Pittsburgh's already delayed $25 million renovation stalls for the second time this year.  Pittsburgh reporters have been chronicling the Hilton's large renovation-expansion project and financial setbacks for nearly two years. This week's coverage suggests little improvement. Some highlights from the Post-Gazette's Wednesday story:  The Post-Gazette could not reach the Hilton's owner, Shubh Hotels LLC of Boca Raton, Fla., for comment. Shubh bought the hotel from Hilton in 2006.  When the White House announced it had picked Pittsburgh as the location to host the G-20 Summit last month, Pittsburgh leaders hailed it as a coup that would let them showcase Pittsburgh's transformation from old steel town to modern, tech-savvy and environmentally savvy city. City officials are even holding public brainstorming sessions and using twitter to discuss ways to welcome the G-20.  Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl wants to see some progress on the renovation before the G-20 Summit, he told the Post-Gazette in today's story.  "It's our hope that they can continue to work and try to, if not get the project done ... at least clean it up and make it look better as we get ready to host the world in September," he told the paper.
