Kimpton Hotel Monaco Baltimore Inner Harbor by IHG

The Monaco is a beautiful, historic hotel. One of the finest in the City. From reception and throughout my stay, the staff were warmly welcoming, always helpful with questions or needs, and made it one of the best stays I've ever had. It is located in an excellent area of the city, with a wide range of transportation. The B&O restaurant and bar in the hotel was absolutely wonderful -- meals, drink, and service. Patrick and the other staff make you feel welcome, and do an excellent job, from start to finish. Great place to gather with colleagues. Since the Monaco is a short walk to the Convention Center, it is an excellent choice for business travelers.

I think it might be nicer to have at least a few more options for coffee and breakfast in the morning. There is the Market Store in the lobby, but those options are spare. Put out some muffins or bagels with the coffee!

Everything was good

Hot water did not last long and no microwave

Beautifully restored historic building and a short walk to the Baltimore Convention Center and the waterfront.

Check-in staff person at the front desk was not friendly, as in quite indifferent and sullen. The streets around the property get pretty seedy after dark. Breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant was unimpressive.

My company sent us to this hotel for a couple of days and my experience was great. The hotel staff at the front desk were all helpful and the valet was quick and efficient. Denise and Jameson were very attentive and put my luggage in the car . Will stay again!!

Review: Kimpton Hotel, Baltimore We stayed in both a king room and a suite — both were great, though the suite was definitely our favorite (wish it had a bathtub, though). Our stay got off to a rough start because the first room we were given was really dirty — mismatched yellow towels, random hairs in the bed (which we found while checking for pests), and lots of dusty spots that should have been cleaned more thoroughly. Thankfully, the staff was responsive and moved us to a different room, which was much better. Once settled, we appreciated the comfortable setup and dog-friendly vibe inside the hotel. It’s a sensible place for traveling with pets — inside feels safe and calm — but outside can feel a little dodgy, especially at night. The in-room amenities and coffee/tea setup were just okay, and we didn’t get to try the evening wine reception. The lobby is located on the 2nd floor — you can take the elevator or a set of stunning (but steep and possibly slippery) marble stairs. I recommend the elevator. Security is visible, which was reassuring — one guard even had to step in when someone bothered us outside. Walking dogs in the area isn’t ideal, and the second-floor lobby setup also makes deliveries a little awkward, so it helps to coordinate with the front desk and drivers. Valet parking is a bit tight with limited space out front, but overall, the hotel is very convenient if you’re heading to events at the downtown arena.
