Although distinctly Baltimorean in its red-brick beauty, the Ivy Hotel serves up a brand of luxury hospitality that’ll be familiar to travelers the world over. This restored 19th-century mansion is set in Mount Vernon, just to the north of the Inner Harbor, and is one of just a few Black-owned boutique hotels in America. Its rooms are outfitted with lush fabrics, four-poster beds, and gas fireplaces, and its bathrooms feature heated limestone floors and, in some cases, soaking tubs. There’s a small-but-lovely spa, a verdant courtyard for breakfast, afternoon tea, or drinks, and a highly regarded local restaurant, Magdalena, helmed by chef Ülfet Ralph.
