Baltimore’ s hotels and restaurants are safely serving guests while continuing to offer top-notch experiences.

W hen COVID-19 shut down the world, businesses all over America were hurt. But no other industry was decimated quite like travel and tourism. The U. S. Travel Association( USTA) has reported that 15.8 million travel-related jobs in the U. S. have been lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an industry unemployment rate of 51 %.

In spite of these incredible challenges, our community is rallying to recover— and doing it with a distinctively Baltimorean spirit that puts creativity at center stage.
This winter, whether you stop in— with your mask, of course— for a stay, drinks, or dinner, you can see the latest ways our industry has adapted to welcome you.

Hotel Revival
Situated on the rooftop of this Mount Vernon hotel, which was once a private mansion owned by an art enthusiast, Topside is a rooftop restaurant with sweeping views of the city. Order a seasonal craft cocktail or choose from the seafood-centric menu in the rooftop restaurant. While chilly temperatures may limit outdoor options, you can still feel as if you’ re sitting outside when you visit the space’ s Garden Room. Available for intimate private events, the room mimics a lush, tropical get-away, courtesy of a design by local florist B. Willow. Sip on a Tiki cocktail as you lean back among verdant tropical plants and captivating florals.
