Each one has custom artwork and a mix of decor reaching back to the 1920s, when the building was multifamily housing. The eclectic look of this newly renovated 4-star hotel comes from SLDesign, a firm whose work includes restaurants for James Beard Award–winning chefs. In-room amenities include mini fridges and smart TVs that let guests stream their favorite content. Food and drink: Each option includes a $30 dining credit per stay. The best views come with craft cocktails and Maryland beers at the rooftop Topside restaurant and bar. Wholesome eats like cold-pressed juices and a reuben-inspired veggie sandwich fill the menu at Square Meal. Famous tunes are belted out in three private karaoke rooms. Local focus: The hotel partners with Baltimore businesses, such as the distillery that makes its custom whiskey.Baltimore, Maryland: World-Class Museums and Historic Waterfront NeighborhoodsBaltimore’s Inner Harbor—a busy port that was redeveloped as a tourism district in the mid-20th century—has become one of the city’s best-known and most beloved landmarks. Water taxis ferry visitors from one historic, cultural, or family-friendly attraction to another. Sites along the routes include the star-shaped Fort McHenry (where US forces repelled the British during the War of 1812, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner”) and restaurants where you can sample the city’s famous crab cakes.You’ll find several unique museums here, too, from the National Aquarium—which houses more than 16,000 sea creatures in realistic habitats—to the wonderfully oddball American Visionary Art Museum, one of the country’s leading institutions for outsider art. For a stunning view of the skyline, the Inner Harbor, and Chesapeake Bay, head up to the 27th floor of the Baltimore World Trade Center, where you can see the city from 360 degrees at the observation deck.
