Hotel Indigo Baltimore – Mt Vernon

I feel like an ungrateful brat complaining about free drinks and free apps but I have to admit I was underwhelmed by your offerings — and the capabilities of your bartender — when my work hosted a happy hour at your bar the other night.
I suggest you do a local bar/​restaurant crawl to the various places I have outlined below to up your HH game…
The first drink I ordered was the jalapeño cucumber margarita. Well, it was a «marginal“ita at best and wasn’t strong in the least.
Crawl Stop #1: If you want a good prototype for a jalapeño-​infused cocktail, put on your Zorro mask and head over to Brewers Art. They’ve got you beat and they’re a damn brewery for goodness sakes.
Next, I tried your honey gin cocktail with mint. Or I should say I tried your mint with honey gin. It tasted like a liquified Fraser fir, so I sent it back to the forest where it belonged.
Crawl Stop #2: Bookmakers in Fed Hill is the «top shelf» cocktail maker in the city. They could make gasoline taste like lemonade. Check ‘em out for some mixology tips to help get your earthy gin cocktail in order so it can be ordered and not sent back.
I traded the Pine Sol special for just a boring vodka tonic. The Grey Goose didn’t help it much but I imbibed the entire thing without sending it back.
Crawl Stop #3: The Mt. Vernon Stable has a good recipe for even the most standard vodka tonic. It’s simple yet refreshing.
In between this rather disappointing round of drinks, I tried a few bites from the appetizer spread we ordered. I am a bit of a germaphobe and don’t like diving into food that’s been picked over by random hands, so I gravitated toward the less popular options.
I tried the pickled veggies and started with the beets. Before partaking in what looked like a beet block the size of a lemon, the bartender raved about how good they were. He must not get out much or has no taste buds because they were almost inedible. The broccoli was next and that too was pretty blah.
Crawl Stop #4: Now, Parts and Labor has nailed the art of pickling so I suggest you swing over there to see how it’s really done. They could pickle cardboard and it’d be delicious.
I prefer dry wings over wet but still believe wet wings should really be dry with just a splash of sauce. Your wings were so soggy that they felt raw. The flavor was just okay in my opinion.
Crawl Stop #5: Don’t just «wing it» on this highly coveted bar food. Instead, check out Tavern on the Hill for some frying tips.
Indigo, you really made me want to go «in» your beautiful bar but all I wanted to do was «go» after trying your spirits and fare.
Get back in «di» game before you’re singing the «blues» when your hotel guests go elsewhere for drinks…

The Hotel Indigo is such a beautiful hotel nestled right in the heart of the city. We live in Baltimore but decided to have a little staycation for our anniversary and what a wonderful night! The hotel staff made our stay perfect with fruit and cheese plate waiting in our room along with a card from the staff wishing us a happy anniversary! The room was so beautiful and really well decorated! I loved the accent chair and the linens were absolutely luxurious!!! We had breakfast included with our package as a wonderful way to end the occasion and head back to reality this morning. I can’t wait to share hotel indigo with all of my friends and family who come to visit us in Baltimore!!!

Last year, my grandma, aunt, cousin and I stayed at hotel indigo for a couple nights. My grandma ended up having to go to the hospital while we were there. The staff was exceptional in doing everything they could to make us more comfortable. My cousin, who is special needs, can be difficult at times and the staff was caring, compassionate and understanding. They truly made us feel like we were home. If I ever go back to baltimore, this is where I would stay. The only down side to this hotel, is that you have to park across the street in a parking garage and you have to pay for it.

I recently spent a couple of nights at the Hotel Indigo on a business trip to Baltimore. The Indigo is located in an older building in the Mount Vernon area near several museums none of which I had time to visit unfortunately. The hotel itself is new or newly refurbished and the rooms are very modern, comfortable and quiet. The Indigo is a boutique style hotel and you don’t feel as if you’re in a chain. The staff were friendly and helpful. We did have some meals served to our group at the hotel — two breakfasts and a dinner. All were pretty undistinguished. I did not try the restaurant but a colleague said it was fine. The Indigo is dog friendly which I like to see and wish more hotels were. My stay at the Indigo was very pleasant and I would be happy to stay there again.

I literally love everything about this cute little hotel. We stayed July 4^th weekend last year and everything was perfection. The location. The service. The price. The food when we had breakfast at their restaurant. Just everything. Even the parking surprisingly worked out! Everything was clean and new and on point. The view from our room was beautiful. Pleasant experience all around and would certainly return. I wish all hotels were like this.

Hotel Indigo was a stunning way to start my birthday!!! The attention to detail was incredible, the rooms were clean and thoughtfully decorated, the staff were kind and thoughtful. I loved it. Plus, it’s walking distance to Mt Vernon marketplace where you can get gourmet cheese, wine, cupcakes, AND dumplings all income place! I WILL be back!

I love this hotel and can’t wait to go back. It’s always fun staying at other properties under our parent company and getting to know the staff there. I was treated like a friend from check in to check out. Everyone was wonderful and accommodating.
The rooms are beautiful! Really tastefully done, comfortable and spacious. I loved the bathroom as well (I need the giant mirror in my home!). I was able to have dinner delivered and room service for breakfast. Next time I would like to try the onsite restaurant.
This is a fabulous boutique hotel and I can’t wait to go back!

We were given our overnight stay via Hotwire and it was a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel renovated from an old commercial building with arched windows. Friendly and courteous staff with convenient indoor parking across the street. It’s a quick car ride to Inner Harbor and Fells Point.

We chose this location because the price was great and the parking was much cheaper than at other hotels closer to the Inner Harbor. The front desk staff were really friendly. The lady that checked us in was ready to give birth at any moment (good luck)! We had called for an early check-​in the night before and they noted the request but couldn’t guarantee it (which is understandable) but our room was ready! Fruit infused water in the lobby. Large seating area in the «library».
Our room was really nice — and larger than our friend’s room. Mini-​frig, Fiji water bottles, K-​cups. The beds were really comfortable. The room had laminate floors with rugs. Very clean. My only gripe about the hotel was there weren’t any towel bars for the towels in the bathroom. So strange.
I wasn’t able to sleep that night so I was checking out the hotel on their Facebook page and stumbled upon for free parking and late check-​out (until ³⁄₃₁ when booked through the hotel). I asked about this in the morning and they credited both of us for parking. The parking garage is across the street and you have to drive around the block (s) and circle back around to park.
My kids were disappointed that we had to leave and they are already asking when we can go back to «Indigo». :)

I really can’t speak for the hotel itself, since I didn’t stay here but came for a conference. The conference rooms and the bathrooms are very nice, but the cleanliness of everything related to the kitchen is horrid. Several plates had bits of crud stuck to them, and it was immediately obvious that the hot water they laid out for tea was run through the coffee machine.

I had no idea what to expect when I booked this room online. We arrived at 8pm and was immediately impressed with the lobby. The desk person was friendly and warm. We went right up to our room and it was above and beyond my expectations. Warm, beautiful, and the beds were luxurious. We thoroughly enjoyed our night! In the morning it was simple to check out and the door man was a truly lovely person! I can not wait to repeat our experience in the future!

Hotel Indigo was a surprising gem in Mt. Vernon. The décor was pleasing but the showstoppers are the wonderful staff which make your experience friendly and lighthearted. I enjoyed Kim and Briana as soon as we walked in they took care of all our concerns quickly and efficiently.
⁴⁄₅ stars because while the hotel is pet friendly it’s guests are not pet considerate. I walked back up to our room with a «present» in the hallway from one of the floors dogs. Also arriving would be a little less stressful IF the hotel provided Valet services. Tone on such a busy street I would think a service like Valet would be a no brainier. It is cumbersome to circle the block for parking. Although the garage is right across the street, sadly it is on the opposite corner and Franklin is a one way.
overall I had a great stay and would definitely go back or recommend !

This hotel is very nice and modern! The lobby is spacious and you will also find the restaurant/​bar (Poets) to your right. The front desk agent was very nice when we arrived and provided us with a free upgrade that was available which was beautiful! We found a great price on
and I was excited to book here! We only stayed one night. We brought our dogs ($ 25 fee-​less than many) and there were some small nearby parks about a block or two away which was nice to walk the dogs. It was also nice to see dog bowls filled with some small dog treats and water outside of the facility. I enjoyed seeing the hard wood floors in the room as well which is not common. I absolutely loved the pillows in the room too, I want to buy them! One thing I didn’t care for was the parking. It was across the street in a parking garage and I was told it was $ 5 for my stay. However, I parked and then left (within 30 minutes), and then came back by 11pm and left by 9am the next day and was charged another $ 10 ($ 5 per day). The garage is paid by using the machines and when I asked a worker about the price, it was clear he did not understand me. So the only way out was to pay. I know the hotel said they can charge you instead on your room bill and provide you a way to get in and out of the garage, which I would do next time if I stayed here to avoid any extra fees. Personally, the area this hotel is in (Mt. Vernon) is not where I preferably be as I felt it was sort of far from places I may want to see (stadium area, bars and inner harbor). However, it is very pretty and many cathedrals and churches are nearby. They also have a historic map you can view around the block. In the morning, we got cappuccinos to go at Poets which took longer than they should have but it felt like the employee forgot about our order until someone must have mentioned we were still waiting. He did apologize for the delay too. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and truly enjoyed this hotel and would come back again!

Great hotel with friendly service, unique décor, and wonderful Aveda products in the room. The location is close enough to walk to many sights, though if you’re going out at night it’s probably best to take a cab for safety’s sake. Many interesting bars and restaurants within walking distance or a $ 10 cab ride away.

Quick 12 minute walk to Brewer’s Art and fast drive to the inner harbor. Love the downstairs bar area and lobby! The room was comfortable and the décor was amazing! Love the splash of orange throughout. Parking was only $ 5 a day in the garage across from the hotel. Looking forward to coming back!

Wonderful hotel. Great location and priced rooms. The front desk staff were very welcoming. Briana and her co-​worker, I didn’t get her name :(, we very attentive. We they asked our reason for travel, we said it was our anniversary. They congratulated us and said they wanted to do something special for us.
We went to lunch and came back to a bottle of Prosecco on ice. That was so thoughtful.
The rooms are nice and the bed is super comfy. We will definitely be back.

This is a newly renovated property. Stayed in an upgraded room on the 8^th floor with lovely city views. Nice décor. Two flat screens, sitting area, large comfy bed, modern wardrobe, hidden fridge. Tv near sitting area is poorly placed as the only place to actually see it would be if you sat on edge of couch. Bathroom was nice, however, the porous shower floor was not cleaned well (there was visible dirt) Everything else was so nice it did not ruin my night. We did report the issue to front desk and received comp breakfast. Restaurant had major issues (separate review) so we didn’t actually receive breakfast. I would recommend this hotel and am likely to return for a staycation.

Such a wonderful hotel!!! I stayed here for a month.
This was my second time coming to Baltimore for work and I thought that the previous hotel I stayed at was amazing but this place shits on them.
When we first arrived at the hotel, we walked in and everyone that worked there looked like they actually enjoyed their jobs. A really nice change for once! The check in process was really fast and we actually got to check in about 6 hours before check in time which was greatly appreciated after a long flight from San Francisco.

Highly recommend this hotel! Definitely staying here next time I’m in Baltimore for work.

What a surprise! Only got to stay for one night, but this place made me feel right at home* with its quirky, hipster-​esque décor (see pics!). Staff was friendly, hotel was quiet on a Tuesday night.
Minus one star for no in-​room fridge, which I guess it was supposed to have but we looked everywhere for it so it was hidden far too well, or missing. Room 413 was otherwise a delight, comfy sofa, two flat screens, great bed with quality linens, and a roll-​in shower.
Highly recommend, and will be where I stay if I ever make it back to Baltimore!
*Portland, OR. Portlandia is fairly accurate.

I was suuuuper skeptical to book this hotel based on the number of reviews and the newness of the hotel. We arrived and it was very chic! The front desk staff was very nice and accommodating. When we go to our room we were very pleased with the modern and sleek layout. Everything in the room is brand new and they even have a Keurig machine for complimentary coffee. There was a cute boutique where I found an amazing dress. On top of everything, the parking across the street is only $ 11. I was going stay at a hotel that was much expensive and I’m so glad I kept some $$ in my pocket.
