The Empire House

While passing through Baltimore recently, I spent one night in the West Room. The room is in the back, overlooks a parking lot, and is very quiet. It is beautifully appointed, like the rest of the house, roomy enough for a couple, and has an incredibly comfortable bed. Tom and Larry provide discreet, gracious service and are always available by cell phone. I loved my first visit to Baltimore and would not hesitate to book here again.

We recently stayed at the Empire House and had a wonderful time. The house is spectacular and Tom and Larry are excellent hosts. They offer personalized tourist and restaurant recommendations to all of their guests and have detailed knowledge of the history of Baltimore. As other reviewers have said, the house is located in the heart of Mount Vernon and only a few minutes from the harbor and Johns Hopkins. I will gladly stay here again the next time I am in Baltimore.

An elegant 1870's brownstone with all the modern conveniences in a neighborhood that's historic, full of good restaurants, and close to easy transportation. The first floor is open to guests and decorated with period antiques; we stayed in the Mansard Suite (a double bed in one room, a queen bed in the other, and a jack-and-jill bathroom they share) with comfortable beds, excellent Wi-Fi, and plenty of room to spread out. A free parking spot in the back was very helpful! The on-site owner was very helpful with suggestions for nearby restaurants.

My wife and I went to Baltimore for an overnight date. We saw a show at the Lyric Opera House so wanted to stay within walking distance. The Empire house was a hidden gem! Tom, the owner, was a friendly as can be. We stayed on the top floor, 2-room suite. It was fantastic! The home is beautiful. It was so quiet we slept in until 1000 which is highly unusual for us. What a GREAT place to stay!

Absolutely stunning house with an amazing host. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the Baltimore area. Huge ceilings with gorgeous architecture. I love the way it is designed as well. The bathroom has a huge clawfoot tub which was a nice surprise. Couldn't say anymore positive things about this house + the host (:
