Yesterday I posted the following picture and asked everyone to leave me their guesses as to what they thought it was. Everyone was pretty spot-on about it being a spiral staircase but most seemed to think that it was a spiral staircase in a lighthouse which is a good guess but not quite right. Granted, I did play around with the picture a little bit ...
To find out what the real answer is and to get a tour of one of Baltimore's best boutique hotels click here to read the whole story complete with the original picture at The Distracted Wandererer, my travel blog.
Now that is definitely my kind of hotel! I'd go back, too! I love old architecture! However, I do love the modern amenities! They've got it all!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to stay at a hotel that offers a Keurig in the room! As Miss Bee would say, "Tits to that!"
Big hugs :)
Boutique hotels are where it's at. Much more personal and intimate. Plus they each have their own personality... When I was doing some work in San Francisco years ago, I had the opportunity to stay at a boutique hotel and I enjoyed every minute.
ReplyDeleteHospitality like no other.

ReplyDeletewow, next time we go to baltimore I want to stay there.

I didn't think it was a staircase. Probably because you altered it. Well it just didn't look real.
ReplyDeleteAs for the hotel. Awesome. I would have loved staying there.
Have a terrific day Linda. 199 days until our cruise. Woo Hoo. Big hug. :)
Wowzer...I would DEFINITELY love staying here. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, honey...
What a great hotel, I'd love to stay there!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good, classy hotel. I would have thought it should have wifi, though, as mose seem to. Still, I'd love to stay there!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful hotel and one I would use in a heartbeat now that I've seen your photographs and read of your experiences. If you don't get your next visit comped in exchange for their new ready made brochure, they need some lessons in marketing. :-)

ReplyDeletewhen travelling ALWAYS tell the manager you write a blog........
got it!
Just wanted to say a big KUDOS!!! You are an exceptional writer. The Hotel Brexton family would like to thank you for staying with us, and letting us be your home away from home. I love what you did with the pictures, they are awesome!!! We are amazed at the blog, we can't express how honored we are here at the Brexton. Please if you are ever in Baltimore visit us!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to stay there if I go back to Baltimore again, one of my favorite cities.
ReplyDeleteYour photography skills get better every time I visit.
The Hotel looks fabulous! I would love to stay there. It has everything! History plus all the modern amenities.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that ol' Wally Simpson lived there.
I also like that Eboni wrote and complimented your writing, Duchess Linda the Travel Writer.
The Brexton is stylish, a boutique hotel with character and great amenities (such as the bathroom in the turret). The top angular takes remind me of the Flatiron building in New York. A wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteThis place is amazing!I've never heard of it, but now I want to go there:)
ReplyDeleteGotta love that Paul! Thanks to him for allowing you to get some amazing shots!! Beautiful job, Linda. I LOVE the spiral staircase. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was our first trip to balitmore, we had no idea of the area or the hotel, but once we made it to the hotel found some on street parking it was a great place. Clean,charming and some modern updates. 24 hr coffee tea room was great...Beautiful stairway! The staff was very friendly and gave us helpful information to help us get to the ballpark and inner harbor...Will be back in April 2011
