The Best Hotels to Book in Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore is home to many attractions, ranging from the National Aquarium to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team. The many historic neighborhoods of the city – such as Federal Hill and Mount Vernon – are attractions in their own right. Ensure that your overnight accommodation is as wonderful as the rest of your visit to Maryland by staying at one of these top Baltimore hotels – bookable on Culture Trip.
1. Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor, for healthy living
Hotel
Kick back at the downtown waterfront RL, set in the iconic 10-storey Keyser Building with its stylish sofa-strewn lobby, well-stocked games room and community-led events such as live poetry. Wellness enthusiasts will relish the on-site fitness center, the complimentary bike rentals and the healthy, seasonal plates on offer in the restaurant. Rest in your pet-friendly room, featuring Baltimore-inspired wall art and Chesterfield armchairs, then wake to ethically sourced brews at the on-site cafe.
2. Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, for a five-star spa
Chain Hotel
Overlook Harbor East at this luxurious hotel in Baltimore. Plump for a room with a balcony for private vistas, and order room service to complete your night in. Catch some rays by the rooftop pool with its own poolside bar and restaurant, or try the Spanish courtyard-style restaurant serving South American- and Mexican-inspired cuisine. A visit to the five-star spa is a must: indulge in deep-tissue massages, facials, chakra balancing and Finnish sauna sessions. Special occasion? Ask about the fancy extras on offer here, such as luxury catamaran charters and helicopter tours.
3. Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown, for inventive drinking and dining
Hotel, Luxury
There’s lots to love at this stylish, Mount Vernon-based Baltimore hotel, from complimentary Wine Wednesdays to in-room massages. The hip restaurant serves jazzed-up breakfasts and light dishes. Time it right to get happy hour signature artisanal cocktails, or try the fortnightly bottomless-drinks Drag Brunch. Expect cool room decor with wall sketches, hardwood floors and statement lamps. Some rooms are pet-friendly, and some come with city views. Choose a two-level suite for highlights such as a wet bar and first-floor bath.

9. Sagamore Pendry Baltimore, for spectacular views
Hotel
Sagamore Pendry Baltimore is an upmarket hotel in a restored 1914 pier building, with spectacular views across the Patapsco River. The sleek wooden interiors add a modern feel to this historic building. We recommend starting your evening with a tipple at the whiskey bar before heading down to the Rec Pier Chop House for dinner – steaks are the top choice here. Don’t leave without taking a dip in the heated outdoor pool overlooking the river.
10. Revival, for art lovers
Hotel
Just as the name suggests, Revival has an old-fashioned charm. The Renaissance Revival front dates back to the 1920s, but inside, the rooms are decorated in an upscale, modern style. Art lovers will appreciate that Revival is just steps away from the Walters Art Museum, home to artwork stretching from 3,000 BCE up to the modern day. At the end of the day, relax with a craft beer in the Topside rooftop restaurant.
