Just minutes from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, I’ve found that the Gramercy Mansion offers one of the most relaxing escapes from the city. This elegant bed and breakfast feels like stepping into another era—one filled with antiques, quiet gardens, and gracious charm.

Couples and romantic getaways
I always suggest this place to friends looking for a romantic escape. You’ll stay in suites filled with antiques, unwind in a whirlpool tub, and sip wine on a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens.

Event planners and wedding parties
I’ve attended a wedding here, and it was unforgettable. If you’re planning a special event, you’ll love how the gardens and interiors set the perfect scene—elegant but welcoming.

Luxury travelers and history lovers
Every room has that rich Gilded Age feel. If you love architecture, history, and a good fireplace, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another century—with every modern comfort still within reach.

Foodies and organic enthusiasts
The breakfasts here are one of my favorite parts. You’ll start your day with organic, locally sourced dishes made to order—vegan and gluten-free options included.

Highlights & Amenities

  • Accommodations: I’ve stayed in a few of the 11 unique rooms—each one’s a gem with antiques, fireplaces, and luxe touches like spa tubs or marble baths.
  • Breakfast: You’ll love the complimentary breakfast, which can be tailored for kids or special diets. I always go for the veggie omelet—it’s fresh and filling.
  • Specialty Suites: The Cassatt Suite is my go-to for special occasions, but the Hunt Room is equally stunning with its four-poster bed and marble bath.
  • Gardens & Grounds: I’ve wandered these gardens many times. Whether you’re sipping tea or just strolling, you’ll find them beautifully maintained and peaceful.
  • Shared Spaces: If you’re like me and enjoy quiet nooks, the elegant parlor and covered terrace are great for reading or chatting with other guests.
  • Sustainability: Bonus points—they’ve even added an EV charging station on-site.

Special Features

  • Private Events: Whether it’s a wedding or reunion, this place can host up to 150 guests and still feel intimate—I’ve seen it done beautifully.
  • Historic Charm: If you love details like I do, you’ll enjoy the original art, vintage furnishings, and period architecture throughout the mansion.
  • House & Garden Tours: I always recommend the seasonal tours—they’re a great way to learn about the estate’s history and see parts you might miss otherwise.
  • Convenient Location: You’re just far enough from the city to feel like you’ve escaped, but close enough to dip into Baltimore’s best attractions in minutes.

Insider Tip

If you’re celebrating something special, I say go for the Cassatt Suite. You’ll get a private terrace, heated bathroom floors, and a two-person shower—it’s pure indulgence.

Nearby Attractions

  • Baltimore’s Inner Harbor: I always make time for the museums, great restaurants, and harbor views—it’s only a short drive away.
  • Cylburn Arboretum: This peaceful 200-acre park is perfect if you need a dose of nature without leaving town. I’ve walked those trails in every season.
  • The Maryland Zoo: If you’ve got kids—or just love animals like I do—you’ll enjoy a visit to this historic zoo in nearby Druid Hill Park.
  • Loyola and Johns Hopkins Universities: Even if you’re not a student, you’ll find exhibits, performances, and beautiful architecture worth checking out.
