Maryland, Baltimore
The Ivy Hotel
(5 stars)Stay in one of just 18 bedrooms at this family-run Relais and Chateaux property. Evocative of the Gilded Age, the red-brick mansion house features antiques, glamorous modern interior touches by designer Joszi Meskan, working fireplaces and four-poster beds. Guests have access to a library of books, a complimentary car (for trips up to three miles), a selection of movies, a 1920s-esque afternoon tea and drinks served from a vintage bar trolley. But the best benefit of all, is the creative in-house bistro, Magdalena, featuring a raw bar and headed up by Chef Scott Bacon.
Maryland, Baltimore, Fells Point
Sagamore Pendry Baltimore
(5 stars)This 1900s-era dance hall and warehouse is now a 128-bedroom hotel in one of the city’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, Fells Point. Part of the Waterfront’s Recreation Pier, it juts out over the sea, with a “floating” pool area and dining deck providing direct views of the passing superyachts. Inside are two further culinary options from the team behind Nobu; the Rec Pier Chop House for world-leading steaks and The Cannon Room whisky bar (do try the Sagamore Spirit Rye). The Sagamore Pendry decor is a blend of industrial-chic and grand, with a touch of grown-up sass.
Maryland, Baltimore, Harbor East
Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore
(5 stars)Contemporary, airy and minimal, this glass-walled hotel houses 256 bedrooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking over the harbour. While driven by a classic US upscale hotel design, there are accents of decorative drama to add a personal character; such as towering floral displays in the lobby. Ergonomic loungers, a hydropool and chakra-balancing healing sessions await at the five-star spa. The rooftop pool and grill restaurant provide a sunny spot to kick back with a watermelon mojito. And there are two further places to dine; an American eatery and one inspired by Mexico and South American food.
