Baltimore Luxury Hotels with a View

"O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" — Francis Scott Key
Baltimore surprised me last week, while I was in town exhibiting with the League of American Orchestras at our annual conference. It blew away my preconceived ideas, and instead I met friendly, chill locals who are proud of their city. I was especially charmed by the Fells Point neighborhood, where you'll find the iconic Pendry Baltimore, which suddenly has become one of my favorite hotels! Nine Muses Travel clients receive the following Virtuoso benefits (and more) at the Pendry Baltimore too.

The Pendry Baltimore stretches the whole length of the historic Recreation Pier and ingeniously reimagines the structures from 1914 that have been a cargo warehouse, dance hall, and major immigration center. Now, it's a boutique hotel with a lush inner courtyard oasis, infinity pool over the harbor, and delicious dining. Original Revolutionary War cannons from the area silently defend the pool area, and one is on display under its speakeasy bar. The Pendry strikes this perfect balance between industrial structures and abundant nature, historical features and modern design, grandiosity and intimacy. I love the sophisticated, subtle nautical references in the hotel's art and design and how it's filled with local historical photographs and artworks by locals, including the painting above that references Francis Scott Key, the sewing of the American flag, and other area symbols.
Since I'm also a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, I received a tour of their Baltimore hotel that's located closer to downtown in the Harbor East district. This winter they begin their first renovation, so my photos are basically "before" photos since they're updating the rooms and lobby too. Their spa really impressed me with its pretty indoor and outdoor heated pools and a cozy area with tables for a wellness food menu that you could also enjoy outside on one of its sunny decks overlooking the harbor. All my clients receive top VIP attention and extra amenities at every Four Seasons in the world too.
And forget D.C. for the 4th of July because where you want to be is Baltimore, where Fort McHenry defended the harbor against the British Royal Navy's 25-hour bombardment in September 1814. Eyewitness Francis Scott Key famously wrote the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the battle. From what I was hearing, the 4th of July celebrations are going to be fantastic in Baltimore for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence this summer.
Is Baltimore on your radar for a summer getaway? There's so much to see and do there, and it's an easy train ride away from D.C, Philadelphia, and New York City, to make a whole east coast excursion!
