Blues and Stay Awhile

Overnight in Baltimore

The Ivy Hotel is a 19th-century mansion located in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. It opened its doors in 2015 and was beautifully restored and re-adapted as an elevated boutique hotel with 17 unique rooms. The property prides itself on providing unmatched levels of quality, excellence and attention to detail, ensuring a stay nothing short of extraordinary. Each room, from the public spaces like the conservatory and library to the suites and rooms, is a completely different work of art.

Encased in the DNA of The Ivy Hotel and Magdalena, a Maryland Bistro are the owners’ commitment to diversity at all areas and levels. Owners Eddie and Sylvia Brown are entrepreneurs and philanthropists in the Baltimore area. They met at their alma mater, Howard University, and recently donated $5 million, the largest donation from alumni ever.

The highly inclusive nightly rate includes:
