A prime waterfront address, uber-hip sense of style and world-class dining make Baltimore’s Pier 5 Hotel the Renaissance man of the hospitality industry. Southern Living calls it “the Harbor’s hot hotel,” and the atrium-style wood-paneled lobby is a big part of the hotel’s charm. People-watch from asymmetrical sofas and low island seating. The vivid color scheme of the hotel lobby is mirrored in the innovative design of the guest rooms. A mix of bright emerald, gold, ruby and amethyst brings the rooms to life. The streamlined pine furniture complete with black accents only enhances the daring wall colors. The Pier 5 Hotel puts a new twist on an old favorite by offering its signature “Crabby Hour” happy hour every Monday through Friday. You’ll enjoy hands-on cooking lessons with crab-centric recipes. Saturdays give you something sweet to celebrate, with the Wish Upon a Star Chocolate Bar.
