The house
IHGNeoclassical YMCA landmark
The former YMCA is now an easygoing boutique hotel, where a book-lined lobby lounge hosts evening cocktails and live jazz.
What it’s good at
Notable
An Italian Renaissance Revival landmark from 1907, once Baltimore's central YMCA building.
Listed
Literary murals and library shelving accent rooms inside an adaptive-reuse conversion.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Baltimore Basilica stands directly across the street, and Mount Vernon's Washington Monument is two blocks north.
The rooms
Murals of literary etchings cover the walls, and the historic conversion creates over a hundred distinct room layouts.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Poets Modern Cocktails and Eats
Tall birdcage chairs sit beside arched street windows, and the kitchen serves Maryland crab cakes and local craft beers.
How it began
Architect Joseph Evans Sperry designed the building in 1907 as Baltimore's Central YMCA, complete with a gymnasium and running track.
