The Baltimore Hilton Hopes to Win the Hearts of Ballpark Fans This Friday
August 18, 2008 at 3:30 PM | 0 Comments
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.

The Omni Parker House Now Offering New Rooms and Red Sox Tickets
May 28, 2008 at 9:16 AM | 0 Comments
We've paid attention to Boston's Omni Parker House Hotel in the past because of its free WiFi and abundance of pillows, but there's actually a lot more to get excited about here, and it's been getting better.
Omni Parker House has just finished a $30 million restoration which includes a cherry-wood refit of the guest room furnishings, a new gym and new meeting room décor too. But they say they've still tried to keep the old spirit of this historical hotel there--did you know that JFK, Babe Ruth and Winston Churchill have all stayed there? And while we can't imagine Winston Churchill having admired a new gym, it sounds like the rest of the renovation is historically suitable enough to be to their liking.
But if your trip to Boston is for another reason than following history (read: seeing the Red Sox) then we quite like the Boston Baseball Package they've got. You can get center field bleachers tickets, a double room and breakfast starting from just under $400, depending on the game. New reno, neat history, chance to see the ball game: sounds like a hotel with something for everyone.

Baseball Hotels :: The Liberty Hotel's Red Sox Package
May 1, 2008 at 8:58 AM | 1 Comment
For Red Sox fans only. Yankee fans need not apply.
Wondering what's up with Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, and Josh Beckett? Head to Bean-town's Liberty Hotel for their "Swing! Batter, batter!" package.
This historic hotel is actually a former prison, but you'll be too deeply immersed in baseball heaven to ponder such trivia. Your room will come with a view of the lights of venerable Fenway Park, one of the country's oldest baseball fields, as well as the historic Citgo sign.

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.

Baseball Hotels :: Brooklyn's Le Bleu for Cyclones Action
April 30, 2008 at 12:00 PM | 3 Comments
Summertime...hot dogs, apple pie, and...baseball! In New York, there are literally hundreds of hotel choices giving you easy access to the subways and trains to get to Yankee and Shea Stadium.
We've rounded up some good hotels near MLB Stadiums but what about the minor league for a serious taste of the working man's ballgame? You can take the Staten Island Ferry for free to see the Staten Island Yankees, but trust us, you don't want to stay overnight on "Stranded Island."
Then there's the Brooklyn Cyclones, the borough's nod to its Dodgers history, and just as popular (the park reports attendance has already surpassed two million attendees).
Brooklyn has limited hotel crashpads, but the hotel closest to the action is Hotel Le Bleu in Park Slope. This small hotel, with 48 rooms, is as near to the diamond as you can get, and an underhand toss to the local subway that gets you out to Keyspan Park.
