Lodging in a Nutshell |
by Jane Sellman, Baltimore Correspondent |
Baltimore has something for everyone--from art museums and galleries to Major League sports teams and state-of-the-art stadiums. And, Baltimore hotels offer something for everyone as well.
Do you want economy? Do you want quiet and elegance? Do you want to be close to the action or away from it all? Do you need a meeting room or faxing services? You name it, there is a hotel in Baltimore for you.
Whether you want to stay downtown in the heart of the city - in an Inner Harbor hotel, explore a funky old neighborhood like Mount Vernon, Bolton Hill, or Fells Point, be near cultural or sporting events, or enjoy the suburban small-town atmosphere of the surrounding metro area, you can find a place to rest, relax, and get ready for fun.
You can find everything from modern buildings with huge windows and waterfront views to cozy bed and breakfasts hidden away on tree-lined streets.
Bargains can be had throughout Baltimore--from romantic getaway packages to family weekends to art/music lovers specials. Many Baltimore hotels are ideal for people with children--offering babysitting, swimming pools and play areas, or special shuttles to attractions like the Maryland Science Center or Port Discovery. Try the Wyndham Hotel Baltimore or the Renaissance Hotel.
Sports lovers can find a place to hang their hats and kick back. Oriole Park at Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles and PSI Net Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens, are both located right downtown--almost any place you stay downtown is an easy walk for a sporting event.
One of the best features of Baltimore is you don't have to drive to have a good time. The Light Rail, buses, and subway can take you all over the city and into the suburbs. If you want to head over to Washington, D.C. for the day, you can board the MARC train and be there in less than an hour. You can even make your way around Baltimore by boat, via the WaterTaxi. Top
