Wyndham Baltimore Peabody Court

Located in the quaint Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore - a neighborhood brimming with cultural attractions, restaurants and scenic streets - Wyndham is a European-style hotel. This is evident as the guest stands outside and admires the "Renaissance Revival" facade. As you take your first step in the door, you will be greeted with a grand staircase, and a French chandelier suspended from a 25-foot ceiling in a lobby that reflects the period details of its original architecture, built in the 1920s. This extends to the rooms that have soaring ceilings, marble floors in the bathroom and decor that invokes the luxury of another time. The architecture of the building may be old-fashioned, but the facilities are definitely up-to-date. Work out at the 24-hour fitness center, or get some work done at the business center with free WiFi throughout the hotel.

Inn At The Black Olive
803 South Caroline St.
Fells Point, MD 21231
(443) 681-6316
www.innattheblackolive.com

The Inn At The Black Olive provides an entirely unique experience in the milieu of Baltimore hotels, being the only Boutique Organic Hotel located in Charm City. This essentially means that from the foundation up, every product and building material used by the hotel is entirely organic, and the facilities strive to be green in all respects; one example being their geothermic heating. This works well for the pampering of guests, too, as indicated by the Sanijet pipeless Hydrotherapy tub with house-made organic herb-infused sea salt and organic spa products - made available to anyone who stays. As you might have guessed, food is a point of particular interest to the hotel. The Olive Room offers premier rooftop dining as one of the number of organic experiences available to guests. The view is great, and the food is both exquisite and entirely healthy.

Admiral Fell Inn
888 South Broadway
Baltimore, MD 21231
(410) 522-7377

Admiral Fell Inn is a location that presents a quaint, cozy feel. Offering in-house dining with an intimate bar/lounge, it also provides a free shuttle service for visiting guests, and valet parking for those who drive in. Possibly one of the most compelling reasons to stay at the Admiral Fell is that it is a pet-friendly hotel, so you and Rover can both enjoy a relaxing stay. And relaxing it is, with free WiFi and coffee makers in the room, so you can make yourself comfortable without having to go outside your room. One other thing that you don't need to leave your room for is a nice massage. Just ask, and the hotel will send a masseuse up to your room to give you the kind of treatment you deserve. The hotel itself has a classic charm with luxury furnishings that recall a bygone era when furnishings and architecture were hand-made with incredible craftsmanship.
