“In my opinion, this AAA Four Diamond hotel has noteworthy event spaces alongside views of the Inner Harbor; its on-site gastropub uses locally sourced ingredients, complemented by an in-house herb garden. I think the rooftop health club is a highlight, providing panoramic views while guests work out. Ultimately, its blend of upscale amenities and a prime waterfront location make it a distinct choice.”
