Kimpton Hotel Monaco Inner Harbor, Baltimore
Expert 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.

The basic setup is good. Staffs are good.
1. Restroom doesn't have lock 2. They didn't provide minibar things. 3. No jug or pitcher for water! 4. They didn't provide us toothpaste earlier, we went to reception to have it. 5. Staffs are really good but the Hotel didn't have sufficient staffs.

Very good
loved the aesthetics and ambiance of the hotel
upon initially checking in, the staff member at the front desk did not acknowledge me until about 5 minutes or standing at the front desk. The rest of the staff was nice and helpful

clean, historic, and modern
Very clean, spacious rooms. decent location of Baltimore
felt like there were hidden fees that I wasn’t aware of until after checking out. and no door on the showers was a bit odd

Website problems
Friendly and helpful staff. Spa tub. Comfortable bed.
Website was inaccurate because of new management. Link to restaurant goes through Doordash. Doordash not used by restaurant, but they charged me.

Laughs at the door
All of the front desk staff, hotel staff and even the bartender at the attached restaurant were very friendly. The best part of our stay had to be Mr. Kevin, or uncle Kevin should I say. He is the head of security and he is a ball of sunshine. He made sure our stay was going well everyday. All of the front door staff were especially friendly. The hotel overall was great and in a marvelous location for all of the tourists attractions. Great fun for the family, but we will be coming back mainly because of the friendly front door security and valet personal.
The only problem we faced was how the bathroom floors would get wet from taking a shower. The shower floor and bathroom floor are tile and a level match to each other, but there is no kind of wall or lip to stop the water from running onto the bathroom floor. And also, maybe for the price they could include a continental breakfast instead of just coffee.

It was a great time I thought the hotel was beautiful it’s just some I think they should take into consideration how hot
Everyone was very friendly I had one situation in my room was changed because the smelling of smoke and I was allergic to smoke so the girl at the front desk was very helpful with switching the room and would check on what was going on on the 11th.
The air conditioner in the room got very stuffy at night would’ve like for it to be cooler especially with the weather outside being so hot and humid

everything but parking was great
it was a very nice place to stay
we had to get valet while we were there which was 50.00 and when we went out at like 830-900 at night they didn’t tell us what time they shut everything down so when we got back I had no where to park my car but far away and had to pay more money. tried to get back into the hotel and if it wasn’t for a guest coming out I would t of been able to get back in
