Kimpton Hotel Monaco Inner Harbor, Baltimore
More photosExpert reviews
“The Kimpton Hotel Monaco has a downtown location that’s close to the harbor, and rooms with the signature Kimpton touches, like yoga mats. The building still boasts the original marble, elevators and Tiffany stained glass of its original incarnation as the B&O Railroad headquarters.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Baltimore, Maryland.
“This 202-room boutique hotel is in the historic headquarters of the B&O Railroad—just two and a half blocks from the Inner Harbor and within easy walking distance of First Mariner Arena, Everyman Theatre, and Oriole Park at Camden Yards.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Baltimore.
“This Kimpton property, tucked into the historic 1906 former B&O Railroad headquarters, offers a contemporary take on glamour. It’s set in an H-shaped building meaning there are plenty of corner rooms (hooray!).”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Baltimore.

A nice hotel but not the best of the area.
The hotel in itself was lovely and very big!
Outside the hotel, there were many homeless people.

Historical hotel that needs some
The history of the building. The tall ceilings, and antique windows. The grand entrance is beautiful and needs some updating. The bathroom was very clean, windows are perfect to watch the city below.
There was a booger on the headboard (literally), air vents had brown/black dirt on them, the panel covering the refrigerator had dried food smears dripped down it. The room was in good shape, but the charm of the hotel wasn’t reflected in the room’s decor. I noticed the Reno plans and they seem to be a good start. What sets that hotel apart from all the others is the history and the style. Or it could be what sets it apart. There didn’t seem to be enough staff. One of three days my room was made up, but 2 days didn’t get services.

I needed a hotel near the ballpark but didn’t feel safe going out at night in that neighborhood.
Proximity to the attraction we wanted to see (Camden Yards). Friendly staff. Interesting facility. Large room.
The adjoining room had some noisy guests and were pot users. So every time we left and came back to the room it smelled of pot (through adjoining door).
