10 best hotel rooms in the Baltimore region
Little wonder that The Ivy, the meticulously restored mansion hotel, has earned the designation of Baltimore’s most exclusive sleep. Most travelers would be giddy with delight for the chance to spend the night in any of its 14 guest rooms and suites, where it appears no expense has been spared on stately antiques. But one particular room, No. 7, nicknamed the Turret Suite, is clearly the hotel’s crown jewel. Located in the manse’s tower, it features two working fireplaces, a living room and a dressing room attached to a massive bathroom with a deep soaking tub, glass shower, warming towel rack and French limestone floors heated to 80 degrees. True, the romantic rounded turret window overlooks the uninspired corner of Biddle and Calvert streets. But who needs a water view when you are sleeping beneath a canopy of hand-embroidered draping on a bed dressed in lilac-fragranced 400-thread count Frette linens?
