Traveling my wife for an anniversary we found the Monaco Baltimore and its aquarium deal for a weekend in mid July. Close to the inner harbor and with great boutique feel, this hotel is a reconstructed building with a grand feel. The fireplace in the lobby, the friendly staff, the marble foyer, and unique room architecture and design sets this place apart from "normal" hotels. The restaurant on the ground floor has high ceilings and interesting textures and i couldn't help staring with a smile at the pig-shaped pottery over by the wood burning stove.
Our aquarium package included a continental breakfast, which here basically means choose a bread, a cereal and juice. Great care was shown even when my croussaint, granola with yogurt and berries, and cranberry juice arrived. So while, it may sound meager it was plenty for a day of walking in the the inner harbor.
The consierge was extremely knowledgeable and your only blocks away from Camden yards or the football stadium. There was a valet fee, yet the service only added to my peace of mind as when i arrived i just got out the car with my bags to the front door. When I left, I walked out the front door into my car and began the trip home.
All in all, very lovely place to stay for a romantic weekend when you want to class it up a little.
