Daily life here revolves around the water, tuned to visiting boaters maneuvering into slips across the Annapolis Yacht Basin.
What it’s good at
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Historic City Dock sits right outside, and downtown's brick sidewalks and seafood spots are an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Brass nailheads and coastal blue palettes echo classic sailboat cabins, while select suites add deep whirlpool tubs.
At the table
Marmo serves hand-rolled pasta and prime steaks along the harbor, and dockside tables look out across the boat slips.
How it began
Built along the water in 1968, this remains the only hotel in downtown Annapolis located directly on the harbor.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
