Baltimore's largest hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, etc.) are downtown near the Inner Harbor, within walking distance of the harbor's numerous attractions, as well as near the Convention Center, Baltimore Arena and Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Contact the Baltimore Area Visitors Center to make a reservation. http://www.baltimore.org.
Many hotels near the harbor offer reduced weekend rates. Some offer seasonal reductions during winter months, and some arrange special rates for conventions. Visitors interested in a more subdued atmosphere may consider one of the historic hotels in Mount Vernon (1 mi/1.6 km north of the harbor)—a stroller's paradise with architectural gems, cozy shops and cultural institutions.
