Top Hotels for a Stylish Getaway in the Historical City of Baltimore, Maryland

 
As the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner, one of the most important seaports in the mid-Atlantic, the U.S. city with the greatest number of buildings listed on the National Register, and the place of residence of several famous people (including Edgar Allan Poe and Billie Holiday), Maryland’s largest city of Baltimore has many accolades to its name and an equal profusion of attractions. Here are the best hotels in which to base yourself to take in the sights and lively districts of the “city of neighborhoods” at leisure.

Convenience at the Best Western Plus Hotel & Conference Center


The Best Western Plus Hotel & Conference Center is an attractive option for all types of visitors: business travelers can use its 24-hour business center, history-lovers and families will enjoy the nearby R.F. Lewis African Museum, B&O Railroad Museum, and Maryland Science Center, and cruise-goers will appreciate its proximity to the Baltimore Cruise Terminal. With an indoor pool, a fitness center, and an on-site restaurant, the hotel itself is not lacking in options for those rainy days or times you’d rather stay in. For a special treat, you can even upgrade to a jacuzzi suite!

History Meets Modern Luxury at the Hotel Monaco Baltimore


Housed in a 1906 building that used to serve as the B&O Railroad headquarters, the pet-friendly Hotel Monaco Baltimore combines the grandeur and charm of old-world features such as chandeliers, marble stairs, and fireplaces with top-notch services. Modern touches include a flat-screen TV and XBOX in each room, the provision of yoga mats, bathrobes, and free bikes, organic minibar options, and in-room spa services. Or, why not directly book one of the spa rooms with Fiji soaking tubs?

Fancy Views and Royal Comfort at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore


You may expect a hotel with “royal” in the name to treat you like a king or queen, and that’s certainly the intention of the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore. Among many perks, you get great views over the harbor from your room, top-quality bedding, a 30” LCD satellite TV, an on-site restaurant, a gym, a spa, access to a nearby golf course, and landscaped gardens. If that isn’t enough, the bustling harbor area is just across the street so you can go dine and play by the water after visiting Baltimore’s main sites. The hotel also particularly lends itself to the organization of events such as weddings or family reunions, offering packages to facilitate your planning.

Charming Heritage at the Biltmore Suites Hotel


Located at the heart of the Baltimore cultural and historical centre, the Biltmore Suites Hotel is a heritage building itself. Built in 1880, it was renovated to preserve the original architecture – including the characterful woodwork and courtyard – while upgrading the facilities. The suites are designed with space and comfort in mind, providing a separate bedroom and living room with a fridge and microwave. A five-minute stroll will take you to highlights such as the Washington Monument, the Maryland Historical Society, and the Walters Art Museum, while the National Aquarium and Camden Yards are only 2 miles away.
