When I visited Charm City, the first thing I asked myself was: where should I stay to really enjoy it? If you're anything like me, you’ll want a spot that feels close to everything but still gives you a little charm or comfort. After 26 years of writing about travel, I’ve learned that the right stay can change your whole trip. You’ll find Baltimore stays that offer historic style, waterfront views, and quick access to gems like the Inner Harbor and Fells Point—two places I never skip.
Highlights:
- If you love waking up to water views like I do, you’ll appreciate harborfront hotels just steps from museums and great food.
- Maybe you’re into something with more character—I’d point you toward Fells Point or Mount Vernon, where historic inns and boutiques always charm me.
- I’ve treated myself to a rooftop cocktail or spa day in some of the city’s luxury hotels, and you absolutely should too.
- Traveling with family? I’ve found spots near the National Aquarium and Camden Yards that make it easy and fun for everyone.
- On a budget? I’ve stayed in affordable places that still kept me close to neighborhoods I wanted to explore—you’ll be surprised what you can find.
