Baltimore InterContinental Hotel

From Lauren Leonardi

Baltimore’s main tourist attraction is the Inner Harbor , and the InterContinental Harbor Court is right in the thick of it.

Within two blocks of the hotel:

• Museum of Visionary Arts
• Sports Legends Museum
• Camden Yards, Baltimore’s premier (though not the newest) ballpark, and home to the Baltimore Orioles.

Within 5 blocks of the hotel:

• Baltimore Convention Center
• National Aquarium
• Holocaust Memorial
• Baltimore Fire Museum

Within a mile:

• Baltimore Maritime Museum
• Pier Six Concert Pavilion

Dozens of restaurants line the Inner Harbor strip, some with recognizable names (e.g. Cheesecake Factory).

You’ll also find quaint activities for a variety of budgets including paddle boating in the harbor, cocktail cruises, shopping, and trapeze swinging.

If the somewhat over-commercialized nature of the Inner Harbor doesn’t do it for you, walking two blocks into the city brings you to quaint tree-lined streets with residential brownstones and a plethora of privately owned, non-franchised bars, shops, and restaurants.
