Hotel Monaco Baltimore Opens Today, Sold Out For the Weekend

Where: 2 N Charles St [map], Baltimore, MD, United States, 21201

The Hotel Monaco Baltimore, the $65 million Kimpton property Baltimore & Ohio Railroad headquarters, is opening up its doors today — on time, it looks like — and marks the debut of the very first Kimpton property to hit the Baltimore scene.

According to the Baltimore Sun, we've already been missin' quite a bit of goings-on at the hotel as its been getting closer to today's opening:

The Monaco is competing with an aggressive marketing campaign. It has been holding preview dinners this week in its first-level restaurant, the B&O American Brasserie. It's giving a free night's stay to meeting planners who take a tour. It's offering a rate of $129 per night for rooms that will cost $329 or more after October. The first guest today will be upgraded to the Majestic Suite and treated to champagne, strawberries and an in-room massage.

Look out for original Tiffany windows, original sculptures and green glass-flecked skylights, aswell as your standard Kimpton-y goodies like the option of a “companion goldfish," noon check-out times, pet-friendliness and green practices.

Opening special weekend rates start from $129, with weekday rates up to $159 — but the hotel is sold out this weekend, according to the Sun (which may have something to do with the Red Sox playing the Orioles at Camden Yards).
