The gigantic 757-room Hilton Baltimore right next to Oriole Park at Camden Yards (with Ballpark-view rooms, even!) is now open.
The hotel is connected to the Baltimore Convention Center via an enclosed skybridge thingy (pictured) and also has an Executive Floor where special guests can enjoy a private check-in and access to complimentary food and beverage service in the hotel's Executive Lounge.
More deets -- and special opening rates -- after the jump.
Also: the place has a heated indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna, a fitness center, Diamond Tavern (with HD TV's so nobody misses a single second of an Orioles game, obviously) and a bar.
And: bonus! Even though we checked on the opening rates in April and were disappointed with the $299 we found, the hotel is now offering a special Grand Opening Rate of $199 per night through December 31st -- reservations can be made here (but make sure the "Grand Opening Rate" box is checked in the "Special Rates" category). Um, go Orioles? Is that what we're supposed to say?
The Hilton Baltimore, situated ideally between the Oriole Park at Camden Yards, home of the Orioles, and the Baltimore Convention Center has answered the city's need for a convention center hotel, but at the same time, it has enraged locals with a skyline-blocking design as seen from inside the ballpark.
When it opens this Friday, hopefully everyone will get a chance to form their own opinion.
Baltimore is going to get a massive convention center hotel this summer that might actually be cool.
The Hilton Baltimore will open in the city's downtown Inner Harbor, directly across from Oriole Park at Camden Yards and connected to the Baltimore Convention Center by one of those cool, enclosed, pedestrian skybridgey things.
For baseball fans the hotel will also have views of Oriole Park so you can watch the Baltimore Oriole baseball games from your rooms. And it gets even better. The hotel will have ten hospitality suites overlooking the ballpark with prime balcony views of the field.
Guests can stay here overnight or they can choose to stay in one of the Double Beds BallPark View guest room, of which there are 448.
