The Ivy Hotel

In Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon/Midtown district, a 5-star boutique hotel minutes from the city’s cultural core. Walk to the Lyric Opera House, Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, University of Baltimore and the Walters Art Museum, or drive a few minutes to the National Aquarium, Baltimore Convention Center and Camden Yards. Pet-friendly and family-friendly.

Housed in a renovated 19th-century mansion with turrets and original skylights, the property feels like a private home. The 18 individually decorated rooms feature fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, pillowtop beds with down comforters and Frette Italian sheets, iPod docking, safes and private baths with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads.

Pamper yourself at the spa with massages, body treatments and facials, or use the on-site fitness center.

Concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), an area shuttle (surcharge within 3 miles), complimentary wireless internet and parking/valet make stays easy.
