Ulysses, An Ash Hotel - A Mount Vernon cultural district hotel with three distinctive bars, event spaces, and 116 custom-furnished rooms

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. Ulysses, An Ash Hotel houses three distinct venues: The Coral Wig cocktail bar, inspired by 1980s Manila clubs; Ash-Bar, a morning café and evening aperitivo spot; and Bloom's, a cocktail lounge hosting nightly events. 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. Ulysses stands 0.5 miles from the Washington Monument and 0.5 miles from both the Peabody Institute and The Walters Art Museum.

Pros

Three distinct bar concepts with unique themes and atmospheres

Historic townhouse available for private events and weddings

Custom furnishings including vintage pieces and handpicked artwork

Located steps from Penn Station with Amtrak and regional rail access

Cons

Limited parking requires valet service

“The building blends historic charm with a modern design, establishing itself as a cultural hub. Its themed suites and versatile event spaces offer options for leisure and business. In my view, the bar, reminiscent of Manila's 1980s clubs, is a standout, providing a distinctive cocktail experience.”
