Traveling to unfamiliar cities can be an uncomfortable, nerve-wracking experience, particularly if your accommodations aren’t quite up to snuff. The last thing anyone wants to encounter at the end of a long road trip is a run-of-the-mill hotel that feels just like every other roadside stop out there with the same alienating patterns on the carpet, the same drab curtains, and the liminal hallways that always feel temporary, no matter how long you stay. Fortunately, if your next road trip destination happens to be Baltimore, Maryland, you can put all such worries to rest. Roost Apartment Hotel, newly opened on the Baltimore Peninsula, aims to erase these sorts of experiences by combining the chic style of a boutique hotel with the long-term comfort of an apartment. The result is a stay that feels uniquely yours – a welcoming home away from home that’s ready for you whenever you cross the threshold to the lobby. It’s the best way to feel like a true blue Marylander, even if you’re just passing through for the weekend!
Roost Apartment Hotel is a new feature of the Baltimore Peninsula, but it’s already made its presence felt with its sleek design and comforting, familiar feel.
Roost offers visitors to Baltimore a chance to experience the atmosphere of a downtown apartment in concert with all the convenience of a top-rated hotel. The lobby is complete with a lounge area…
During the summer months you can enjoy the pool, which offers a spectacular view of the Chesapeake Bay. For a true Maryland experience, bring a lemon stick to sip on beneath the peppermint-striped umbrellas.
There is of course a top-notch fitness center available as well, so you can get your workout in regardless of the time of year you choose to visit (or the time of year you move in - there are 81 rooms in the hotel building, and 40 of them are apartments available to rent).
…And a fully-stocked kitchen! I always prefer when my hotel rooms have refrigerators, and even better when they come with a range so I can make my own breakfast like I do in the comfort of my own home.
The beds are, as one would expect from a hotel, clean and plush, with fresh sheets regularly. Best of all, if you decide to rent an apartment at Roost, you still have access to housekeeping services and to Roost’s signature coffee curation - the kitchen will always be stocked with fresh-roasted beans!
The seafood in Maryland is some of the best around, and being so close to Nick’s Fish House on the peninsula is an absolute treat that has to be taken advantage of.
