We recently returned from a one night stay at the Henderson Wharf Inn and really enjoyed our experience. We had stayed a month before at the Hyatt in the Inner Harbor, and found that hotel servicable but the area crowded with little charm. The Henderson changed our minds about hotels in Baltimore and the city in general. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, the rooms were lovely, the breakfast was great - overall the experience had the personal service you expect at a 5 star hotel with the feeling of a small inn. The area around Fell's Point was also much more interesting than the inner harbor, and you can easily take the water taxi to all the inner harbor sightseeing attractions. The hotel also includes free parking. They let us keep our car in their secure lot for 5 hours after we had checked out, which was incredibly helpful. This must be "the cool" place to stay because we noticed a band on tour unloading their bags when we were leaving. We will defintiely stay here again next time we are in Baltimore.

I think i had the best room in the house....or....is every room the best room in the house?? Honestly, I had the corner room, windows from all directions overlooking the harbor. Had my complimentary bottle of wine...and some wonderful seafood delivered to the hotel...this was just what I needed for a weekend away from work..kids...significant other! Quaint, intimate, luxurious (but not in a snobby, stuffy kinda way) his hotel is definately a DO! Stay here, by yourself or with someone special, you'll love it!

: )

My husband & I purchased tickets to a Yankee vs. Oriole's game back in January. We've always heard great things about Camden Yards & the the Inner Harbor, so we thought we'd take a break from Yankee stadium & check it out. Camden Yards was the best stadium we've ever been in. It's structurally beautiful, clean as a whistle & perfectly designed. Cal Ripken was being inducted that day in the Baseball Hall of Fame, so the fans were obviously supportive of their hometown hero. Now about the hotel......Loved it!!!! The building was beautiful inside & out. We had a Harbor View room, little pricey, but worth it. As other reviewers have mentioned people do walk past the windows, but we didn't find it intrusive at all. Not a big continental breakfast fan, but this was one of the best I've ever seen. We stayed 3 nights & the fruits & danish/breads/bagels varied each day. Fresh fruit, dried prunes, fresh dates, cottage cheese, apple cinnamon bread.....just a few choices. I don't drink coffee much, but it was very good. There's a great assortment of Tazo teas for you tea todler's. Ceramic mugs as well as styrofoam cups with lids are availble. Oh & coffee & teas are available 24/7. The staff was extremely helpful & pleasant. Go, trust me you'll enjoy. I didn't realize how many different sections there are in Baltimore. Between, the Harbor, Fells Point & all the other areas there are TONS of restaurants. You may want to do a little homework on the different neighborhoods & restaurants before you go. Bring comfy shoes. Cobblestone streets are not condusive to sandals or heels. We took the Duck Tour which is in the Inner Harbor. Very touristy & slightly cheesy, but fun & informative. These tours are availble in other City's like Miami for one. If you're not aware they are vehicles that were used by the US Army in WW2. They are amphibious which means they travel by land like a bus & then the Captain drives the duck right into the water. It was very informative. Take it your first day there. The Information Center was also one of the best I've ever seen. If staying at Henderson's (which is in Fells Point), you can walk or so I was told, my feet wouldn't allow it, take the Water Taxi which is $8 per day per adult or take a cab. Cabs are seven bucks & economically the better choice to get to the Inner Harbor. Unfortunately while we were in the City the Harbor was experiencing something called "Red Tide" which as I understand it is a bacterial organism which depletes the water of oxygen & the fish die in great numbers. There were alot of dead fish floating in the Harbor. In Fells Point we ate at Koopers,Red Star, Shuckers & Brick Oven Pizza. I would skip Schuckers, but take it from an italian don't miss BOP! In the Inner Harbor we ate at the Cheesecake factory, which is always good. Great shopping, Great food, Great Hotel, Great City = Great time!

My first time ever writing a review- this Inn deserves applause! We stayed here for one night while leaving from Baltimore on a cruise. This was one of the best visits I have ever experienced (if not the best!) at a hotel. We were welcomed by the staff and made to feel quite at home. The wine was a most appreciated touch along with cut orchids in the bathroom. Our room was most tastefully decorated- we loved the old brick on the walls and full sized windows with plantation shutters. We enjoyed relaxing with the large flat screen TV with Direct TV and many channels, music, etc. The bed was luxurious with super comfortable linens, pillows, and bedding. There were many good restaurants in Fells Point in close walking distance. The very nice desk clerk helped us to select the perfect one. The breakfast buffet was lovely with delicious coffee, wonderful fresh fruit (even beautiful raspberries), and a nice selection of muffins, breads, etc. We felt very safe and pampered during our stay. The 12 Noon check out time was helpful as well. I would come back to Baltimore just to stay here again!

Hotel is even better than the website. The Inn is located on a quiet wharf in a residential block, but only two blocks from restaurants and congestion of the main market area. Ask for a garden view room! The Inn is on one floor, and all of the harbor view rms are at street level.... people can look directly into your room unless you keep the shutters closed...what's the point of paying extra for a view you probably won't use?

Rooms were nicely decorated. Bath was beautiful. Garden view rms had built-in minibar area, not the cart shown in some of the tripadvisor photos. Wine upon arrival is a nice touch.
Service was excellent, continental breakfast was fresh and nicely presented. Lots of choices.

Bottom Line: Exactly what you would expect for almost $300/nt (incl. tax) and worth every penny! The perfect place to re-connect with your spouse or partner.

  • Liked — Luxury, service, free/secure parking,quiet
  • Disliked — All was great. A pool would have been nice, but for a 1-nt stay, not a big deal.
