Hotel Revival, Baltimore
The ongoing transformation of Baltimore, Maryland is one of the most significant travel narratives of the past ten years, and it served as the inspiration for the name of Hotel Revival.
This is especially true for Mount Vernon, the neighborhood where the hotel is located, which is one of the city’s most historic and artistically rich areas. The Walters Art Museum is located just a stone’s throw away, and the Peabody Institute is not much further.
Joie de Vivre, an original boutique hotelier in America, saw the cultural heritage of the neighborhood as a go-ahead to fill Revival with as much art, design, and character as possible.
Always a positive aspect, the accommodations here display a diverse fusion of various American aesthetics, with a noticeable lean towards the Arts and Crafts movement. The outcome is both elegant and cozy, boasting modern luxuries such as bluetooth audio systems, 49-inch television screens, premium bedding, and Jonathan Adler toiletries.
On the rooftop, you’ll find Topside, a restaurant offering panoramic views and specializing in craft cocktails, locally brewed beers from Maryland, and seafood sourced from the Chesapeake Bay. Meanwhile, B-Side Karaoke provides a fully-stocked bar alongside three private chambers for expressing your inner singer before a discerning crowd.

Expert reviews
“Hotel Revival continues to maintain the old-fashioned style that has made it a favorite since the 1930s. You can expect tufted upholstery and heavy draperies in warm colors and creamy tones with furniture that recalls the elegance of an old 1930s movie. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t update its offerings: pull-out sofas were added to king rooms in 2013.”
“The Revival has taken over a former mansion in the historic Mount Vernon neighbourhood and reappointed it as a boutique hotel with a sophisticated cool vibe, including plush public spaces to hang out in and a restaurant on the top floor with unrivalled views over Baltimore.”

This hotel is an experience in itself. Loved it!
Room was spacious and clean. Bathroom fixtures were excellent quality. Staff were all smiling and friendly. Location was perfect for a show at The Lyric Theatre. It’s within walking distance. I loved that we didn’t have to leave the hotel except for the show. We had dinner at Topside. Weren’t able to fully experience B-Side, but I love that there is a place to get drinks. Enjoyed breakfast at Dashery.
Nothing specific to mention.

A hotel with a personality.
I like the retro vibe of this hotel. The furniture and the overall interior design are very stylish. I prefer baths rather than showers, so the bathroom amenities made me happy. The rooms are clean and cozy. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The restaurant on one of the top floors has beautiful views through its glass windows. I recommend this hotel.
I wish there were a small bar downstairs, in addition to the restaurant on one of the top floors. The AC in one of the rooms I stayed in was a bit loud.

Overall great experience!
Service was great. Location was outstanding for us.
There was a spirit in the room. You might want to clear the rooms with sage. It’s an old building so it’s not surprising there was a spirit.

Lovely, convenient hotel.
Nicely renovated building. They’ve kept the cool features like the tiled bathroom floors and upgraded the wall tiles. The room was large, clean and comfortable with a great view of the nearby monument. They supply all the bath amenities as well as a magnifying mirror and plenty of towels. The staff is welcoming, the neighborhood quiet and charming with a small park, stately old townhouses and nearby restaurants, including two in the hotel.
parking is a challenge unless you pay $50.

Wedding weekend in Baltimore
Staff was amazing and so kind. The food in the hotel exceeded my expectations. Rooms had everything you needed including a steamer.
Neighborhood was really nice and close to a lot of museums.
Room had full sized beds not queen sized. The elevator was annoying. We were a big group spread across many floors so it would have been nice to be able to go to their floor without meeting in the lobby first and then going up.
It was difficult to keep shower water in the shower because of the design.
Tv remote didn't work properly.

It was a perfect weekend getaway.
Our room had a spectacular view of Mt. Vernon. It was spacious, beautiful, and very clean. We also loved the roof top restaurant (we went twice) and the coffee shop.
nothing!

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Very clean rooms.
Did not have breakfast
Not the best location

I liked the location, but probably wouldn’t go there again because of the additional parking cost
Upscale, nice atmosphere and rooftop bar
No self parking & the valet charge was excessive…made me feel cheap to not tip the guy, but I had already paid $50 to park the car which was ridiculous

Furnace above ceiling
Pretty big size room and very open as far as space goes
My Ac unit was pretty loud as it was mounted above ceiling

Really enjoyed our hotel here, would recommend.
Really enjoyed the location in Mt. Vernon, by the Washington Monument. Very attractive neighborhood with grand houses. Close enough to walk to the Inner Harbor, but also a nice walkable stretch into Belvedere. Very good hotel restaurant with amazing ambiance. Beds are comfortable, room furnishings are generally high quality. Friendly staff. The gallery art is a really nice touch.
Carpeting is fairly worn, especially in the hallways. Older building so the hotel can be noisy. The room lighting is a little weird (minor nit pick). Separated from inner harbor by downtown so walking between the two can be sketchy in areas.

Cute Hotel with History

AC in room was very loud and sounded on the verge of breaking when it would turn on

We highly recommend Hotel Revival, it was a vibe, location was great and I can’t say enough about the staff - incredibl
We loved the experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was a total vibe.
The mattress on our bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Not terrible, but also, not great.

Enjoyable, have stayed before, will stay again.
Great location, comfortable room.
Took a LONG time for hot water to get hot and a/c to get cool!

If we ever need to stay overnight in Baltimore again, we will be back!
Easy check-in, and the photos on Booking.com were exactly as it looked in the hotel/our room. We stayed in a King Size room and the bed was super comfortable, and the room was so spacious. For extra safety, you had to scan your room key to access higher floors in the elevator which always makes me feel more secure. Staff was super friendly as well!
The 'Dashery (breakfast/brunch place) had great food, but I would say a bit pricy for just being a cafe/restaurant in a hotel.

A great experience.
The design of the hotel was fun and more interesting than a standard hotel. The rooftop restaurant had an incredible view and great menu. All staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
The gift shop could be expanded. I wanted to bring home a toy or special treat for my dog. There wasn’t anything. Outside of that, all was perfect.

Incredible from start to finish
This was our second time staying at Hotel Revival. The team consistently exceeds my expectations. I feel like a local when I stay at this hotel because it's clear they're deeply connected and committed to the local community. From featuring local artisans in the lobby for purchase to the local artists featured in each room and the hallway, the experience is purely Baltimore from start to finish. No detail is spared and the attention to each guest is unparalleled. They treated us like family and were incredibly generous with their time and patience for our families unique needs. I can't rave enough about this hotel and I encourage you to see why for yourself.

Beautiful hotel. Great location. We visited several speakeasy’s in the area. The best one was Bside, in the bottom floor
Could’ve used more coffee cups in room, but otherwise perfect!
