Destination: Baltimore
by Deanna Abrams Step into an American railroad terminal
at the turn of the 20th century or imagine a Roaring ’20s ball. A stay at
one of Carlson Hospitality’s historic U.S. hotels offers all the desired modern
comforts while evoking the romance and spirit of ages past.
The allure of an arched entry, the shine of a polished marble floor, the strength
of a towering column: You needn’t be an architect to appreciate the qualities
of a beautiful building. And historic sites are almost always beautiful in some
way. They are treasures of the past, reminders of how society continues to change.
A program honoring such special places, the National Trust Historic Hotels of
America, recently announced the addition of two Carlson Hospitality Worldwide properties
to its ranks, bringing the total number to three. Member hotels are judged for
architectural integrity, preservation efforts and historical significance.

About
Baltimore
Located by Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore is a waterfront town offering cultural and
economic diversity. It also has plenty of history—it is the birthplace of
Babe Ruth, the final resting spot of Edgar Allen Poe, and the city where the “Star
Spangled Banner” was written.
Often referred to as “Charm City,” Baltimore has several inviting
regions. Downtown’s Inner Harbor offers the Columbus Center of Marine Research,
and water taxi rides to Fort McHenry. Mount Vernon is the city’s cultural
hub, featuring art, music, dining and history. Little Italy has the genuine feel
of its European namesake. Nearby, Fells Point is a maritime district offering
cobblestone streets and cozy pubs. Other attractions include the 178-foot Washington
Monument, the B&O Railroad Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, as well as
Memorial Stadium (home of the Ravens), and Camden Yard (home of the Orioles).
