The Inn at Henderson's Wharf, an Ascend Collection Hotel

In Baltimore's historic Fells Point, tucked on a secluded cobblestone street just steps from boutique shops, upscale pubs and waterfront walks. A short drive or stroll takes you to the National Aquarium, Harbor Point Central Plaza and the Baltimore Convention Center.

A boutique inn with 38 guestrooms that blend modern tech and classic comfort — think refrigerators, iPod docks, 40-inch LCD TVs and pillowtop beds with premium bedding. Rooms offer private bathrooms with shower/tub combos, designer toiletries and bathrobes, plus air conditioning and optional mini bar.

Stay active in the 24-hour fitness center, unwind in indoor and outdoor pools or book a massage in the spa room. Take in the view from the terrace and garden, use the concierge and wedding services, and grab quick bites from the on-site snack bar/deli.

Built for working travelers: a 24-hour business center, conference/meeting facilities and complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout. Luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk keep logistics simple; self-parking is available for a fee.

An on-site restaurant and bar focus on local flavors and casual dining, plus a snack bar/deli for quick bites. Buffet breakfasts are served on weekdays (7:00–10:00 AM) and weekends (8:00–11:00 AM) for a fee, and a complimentary guest reception runs on select days.
