Located in Baltimore's historic Mount Vernon cultural hub, this 5-star Baltimore hotel features 116 guestrooms and suites with canopy beds, tiled bathrooms, and vintage furnishings.

Each room includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels, complimentary WiFi, in-room safe, and luxury bath amenities. The property offers 1100 square feet of meeting space with 10-foot ceilings and AV equipment. Guests can choose from à la carte, American, or vegetarian breakfast options at Ash-Bar, which features 1930s-inspired décor with wicker chairs and vintage leather sofas.
