Hotel Revival, Baltimore
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.”

All you need to know
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.

Chic convenient hotel with lovely staff!
My favorite stay in Baltimore. Convenient to restaurants and bars and right next to green spaces. Upscale and cool.
The rooftop bar closed early the night we came.

Beautiful hotel perfect for many occasions!
The design and decor of this hotel is exceptional. The view from the rooms is lovely. The Dashery is delicious. We did a SpotHero parking space to avoid valet and it was safe and convenient. I hope to some day return for a girls weekend.

Great stay at the Revival
nothing was overpriced. loved the speakeasy . loved the $100 credit through amexp
rooftop restaurant should have snacks all day. we were starved when we arrived at 3:30pm and i heard many other guests ask for food there as well (i used the space to work in the afternoons, so was privvy to the situation three days straight).

Stilish, comfortable, perfect location
Excellently located right in the heart of Mount Vernon, Hotel Revival was stilish, comfortable and with great facilities including a modern and well-equipped gym, lovely rooftop restaurant, comfortable lobby and daytime café. Our room was spacious, clean and well-equipped. Good value for money. Will come back no doubt.

Beautiful Hotel with Great views of Baltimore
Honestly, one of the most well decorated hotels I have ever stayed in around the area. I love the decor of the hotel. I like that the hotel had different parts that technically can cover all your areas. They had a built-in café in the bottom and a rooftop bar top. Additionally staff is very nice and to any of my needs. I even had delivered to my room and they didn’t need to do that.
There wasn’t much not to like. I think the only thing that they could improve on is to be a little bit more flexible on the check-in and checkout times. Other than that, everything was great.

A nice hotel
Front staff was very nice. Room was nicely decorated and the drapes filter out all the sun. Very clean and comfortable room. Smoothies at the cafe downstairs are great.
internet was basically non existent. I had to use my phone, which as a canadian, can get expensive. Also the water temperature control was not good. Turn the sink on hot and then cold and remains hot for a long time. The area of town was a bit sketchy, but that may be Baltimore in general.

Very good
Very comfortable room and bathroom. Nice area in downtown Baltimore
The wifi didn't work well and the assistance from a call center wasn't helpful at all

Fabulous
Dashery and the rooftop restaurants are great options. Location is really great btwn the Washington monument, the park, Peabody and the art museum and some great coffee shops around the area.
Parking is def wonky with the self park lot a little far away (for a disability I have in my leg right now and as far as safety is concerned at night). The 7-7 self park (no in/outs) policy is a little stringent and limiting. $49/day to park is steep even though the valet guys and the valet process were super great!

Great stay in downtown Baltimore
Love the location, which is near museums and local monuments. for the downtown location, the hotel is quiet. Like the quirky art and decor. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Great coffee options in the room, with gourmet pour-over coffees. Good price for value.
breakfast options were limited, but were fine for a short stay. Really don't have any negative input.

I enjoyed my stay.
Breakfast was not really an option, but that was ok with me.
It was a little noisey in the hallway when other patrons opened and closed their doors. It was a little loud.

Nice for a conference trip in Baltimore
The location and decor are amazing. I also loved that the electric kettle in the room could be programmed for a range of things from making green tea to boiling.
The bed was not soft enough. Also, the stairs at the entrance of the hotel make getting suitcases in a bit of a hassle.

Good place to stay if visiting John Hopkins University and wanting to see a bit of Baltimore.
We had a corner room with very nice view over Baltimore. Beds were comfortable. Room was spacious and very nicely decorated. Staff was friendly.
Breakfast was a separate operation with OK food, but very high prices.
