An English invasion on the harbor in Baltimore.

The Scene
This luxury hotel was designed in the style of an English manor house, and its estate-style adornment includes beautiful oak paneling and marble floors. It opened in 1986 on the Inner Harbor, and with just under 200 guest rooms and suites, it is intimate enough to feel more like an inn than a mega-property. It is popular with locals who hold their bridal teas, weddings and anniversary parties here.

The Details
Accommodations are furnished with lots of extras, such as terrycloth bathrobes and TVs in the bathrooms. Specialty suites boast six-foot soaking tubs, views of the harbor and attention to detail--just check out the pants pressers and towel warmers. Relax in the Explorer's Lounge; dine in the on-site restaurant, Hampton's. The rooftop health club features an indoor pool, racquetball court and tanning salon. There is also an Executive Business Center, featuring plenty of meeting space.

One of the Best

A great place to get away from, oh, New York, for instance. Indulge yourself in a suite if possible, (which are not outrageously priced at $500+) -- ESPECIALLY if you have kids! The food and service are worth raving about, and the Inner Harbor location is just icing on the cake. If you're on a budget, check out the package room rates. My only nit about this hotel is the high daily parking fees it tacks on if you drive there.

• Pros: great rooms, great food, great service

Bad Service.

Booked a night for valentines day & when I arrived I found out that a big convention decided to stay 1 more night and the hotel tried to put us next door at an inferior facility. They offered us a free room another night, bit not the same size or view. So just because you book a room at this place does not mean your going to get it. We have stayed here on several occasions prior, but they have lost our business forever.

• Pros: Excellent rooms, Excellent views
