Location Description

24 West Franklin Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201

The cultural heart of Baltimore beats loudly at Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown. Our neighborhood is a hub of Charm City history and arts, and our upscale boutique hotel reflects the area's vibrancy with every detail. While there are many things to do in Baltimore, there are also a great number of discoveries to make right here in our hotel. Relax with a book (by hometown author Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps) from our hotel library, and sleep under a literary-themed mural in your guest room. Sip on some of the best craft cocktails in our hotel restaurant, Poets Modern Cocktails Eats. Sample the honey produced at the hotel by our three honey bee colonies, which can be viewed from our fourth-floor guest rooms. And visit with our canine greeter, Xander, a Blue Brindle Cane Corso who invites you and your own pups to stay at our pet-friendly hotel, enjoy dog treats, and play at the nearby Howard Park Dog Park.
