Elly the owner and Maggie the dog greeted us when we arrived, very friendly and comforting. We'd meet Joe later in the evening. We really enjoyed everything and would revisit in a heartbeat. edit: I started this review in 2018. We recall our visit with fondness though I don't know what to add that would be helpful. read more

We had a lovely time staying at Chez Amis this past November. I was in town for the Annapolis Classic. Each room is themed based on the purpose it served in this historic house. We stayed in The Law Library. The view from the room was fun--we could look out our window and see people walking around the town. You can't beat the location--you can walk everywhere. The architecture was so cool. The house had lots of acute and obtuse angles to fit on the lot between the city streets. The living room was so cozy. I wish my own living room could be so welcoming. We especially loved getting to know Maggie the dog, sweetie extraordinaire. The couple that runs the property are nice and down to earth. They have coffee out in the morning and the woman cooks a full gourmet Breakfast where you get a chance to meet the other travelers! You also have access to Tea/cookies and snacks throughout your stay. It really felt like home while we were there. Parking garages are nearby and they can hook you up with a half off discount code. We'll be back! read more

Such an amazing bed & breakfast! Elly was an amazing host (Molly the dog is such a cutie). Our room (the law library) was really cute and cozy and had a great view of other adorable townhouses! The location is perfect for walking anywhere downtown or to the docks. Perfect little romantic getaway! read more

How I heard of this place: My husband surprised me with a sweet, winter weekend in the historic town of Annapolis. He did all of the research and found this five-star rated B&B on Trip Advisor. Type of cuisine: A three-course breakfast, alternating between savory and sweet mornings. Ambiance: "Come share a day, weekend or week in the state capitol of Maryland, and all it has to offer. Our four bedroom Annapolis bed and breakfast in historic downtown is nearby the State Capital building, St. John's College, the waterfront, city dock, the U. S. Naval Academy, antique shops and fabulous Annapolis dining and entertainment, all within walking distance. "Chez Amis" in French means "Among Friends". Here you will enjoy a great breakfast, comfortable lodging and old fashioned relaxation. Each guest room has a private TV, the French country styled common area is designed for reading, conversation, and playing many games of your choice. Bananagrams and scrabble seem to be our guests' favorite. Refreshments and homemade cookies are available throughout your stay so we understand if you 'sneak downstairs' for just one last cookie. The dining area is a wonderful piece of carpentry that was built by the previous inn owner. It comfortably fits our guests but we also offer supplemental seating if you choose a more intimate table. At the lower level stairway there is a vast collection of fiction, DVD's and CD's for your enjoyment during your stay. Bring your nooks or e-reader, and use our free wireless, or use our I-Pad or mini-lap top for your convenience as well." The pictures can tell a thousand words...Enjoy this gallery of cozy, American heritage of this corner lot Georgian: What I ordered: On day one: We enjoyed our coffee service at 8:00 a.m., followed by mini scones accompanied by Michigan cherry preserves and butter. After enjoying our delicate and warm scones, we moved to the second course of poached pears in a vinegar-ginger sauce, topped off with creme fraiche. Our third, and final course: baked eggs over herbed potatoes and an artichoke-tomato salsa. There were six of us dining on day two: We began our meals with the coffee service, indulging in the recent addition of Keurig Peppermint Hot Chocolate, and moving towards the warmed, mini apple date oat bran muffins. Our second course included a small dish of thawed (frozen) blueberries mixed with honey-infused ricotta, fresh whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. To end our meals, we enjoyed two thin strips of bacon on the side of an Amish bread: citrus-raisin strata topped with Michigan cherry preserves, and a thin half-wedge of cantaloupe. What I loved: The favorite part of our stay included the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies available at all times of the day for a snack, a pick-me-up, or a sweet mid-afternoon treat to accompany lemon-ginger tea. The scones, made from a mix and thawed (Elly confessed!) were my favorite part of our two meals at Chez Amis. Why I loved it: Elly and her husband, Joe, are very sweet, friendly and warm. Joe maintains the carpentry and handy-man side of the business, while Elly entertains the guests and prepares the food. We were especially grateful to be upgraded to the Lady Anne Suite, in order to have a private bathroom en suite (rather than across the hall). Cost: High (approximately $200 per room per night, including breakfast) read more

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend of 9/14 in Annapolis for what I thought was going to be a belated birthday celebration. To my surprise, we got engaged! We stayed at Chez Amis for 2 nights and found it to be cozy and charming. The innkeeper, Elly, was sweet and welcoming, as was her dog, Maggie. The inn was warmly decorated, smelled nice, and our room was clean and comfortable. The location could not be more perfect for walking to the many shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning in the future. read more

I spent one night here lately while in Annapolis for a foot race. The place is beautiful. Very well decorated, lovely atmosphere, and the owners are the friendliest people you will meet. There is a superbly friendly dog named Maggie who greets you with a happy wagging tail. The owners are smiley and welcoming and make you feel at home. If you want a welcoming and relaxing few nights stay this is the right place! read more

My wife and I came here for a "baby moon" get-a-way ahead of our due date late Feb. We couldn't be happier with the accommodations! Elly was very warm and welcoming and the room (law library) is quaint and cosy. The owners have several local favorites that they recommended during our stay and offered discounts to several local merchants. What blew us away was coming "home" to our room to find a baby book gifted to us for our little one on the way. It was very nice and thoughtful and we were both very humbled. We would absolutely make a return visit next time we look for a place in Annapolis. read more

Chez Amis Bed & Breakfast - Thoughtful baby gift from Chez Amis! - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I love Chez Amis. Stayed here Friday night to attend a friend's retirement at the Naval Academy. The location is unbeatable and the set up is cozy and delightful. What really makes this BnB shine are the owners and their dog Maggie. Truly delightful and helpful hosts. I would recommend Chez Amis to anyone looking for an intimate stay in Maryland's capitol city. read more

We recently stayed at Chez Amis over our anniversary weekend and had a fantastic time! We were also in Annapolis to run the Across the Bay 10K. This delightful B&B is in a great spot - right in the middle of downtown and it's an easy walk to the stadium where we had to pick up the shuttle to get to the race. At the same time it still manages to retain a cozy, tucked-away feeling. Elly is very knowledgeable about the local scene and is a wonderful and accommodating hostess. We chose to pay a little extra for flowers and wine and she chose a great bottle of wine for us to have in our room and the bouquet of roses was beautiful! The multi-course breakfasts were varied and delicious, and she even had bagels and bananas set out for us on race morning since we had to get up especially early. Her home is very warm and comfortable and soft music was always playing in the background. There is also a great collection of DVDs, books and games that await you for those times when you just want to stay in. We can't wait to return! read more

We had a great stay at Chez Amis during our visit to Annapolis. It's such a cute and cozy spot -- great location, great food, and great hosts. Definitely recommend for your visit! read more

Similar to the review below, my boyfriend and I came here over my birthday weekend in January and he proposed! Chez Amis was the perfect setting-warm, cozy and Elly & Joe were amazing! I love dogs, so Maggie was the best addition. We stayed in the Chesapeake Room, which was nautical-themed. Elly was so sweet and helped with the proposal preparation of roses and champagne. She also stocks the fridge with beer and drinks, and has a very extensive movie collection. She gave us great recommendations for restaurants and bars, and we ended up going to Vin 909 for a celebration dinner, which was fantastic. Would definitely come here again for a weekend getaway. read more

My wife and I stayed for 1 night last month at Chez Amis celebrating our wedding anniversary and a quick babymoon! We had a wonderful time there and in Annapolis that weekend. The house is nice and quaint, clean and welcoming. The rooms were perfect, and we enjoyed checking out the DVD collection. Breakfast was delicious, we really enjoyed Elly's cooking, and she also surprised us with a nice bottle of ginger ale and goodies in honor of our baby upon arrival! And of course Maggie the wonderdog was fun to sit with and pet, very cute! Highly recommended and hope to go back soon. read more

Great B&B with a lot of personal touches that show concern for their customers. Elly & Joe were great hosts and their location is very convenient to downtown Annapolis, where all the action is. The accommodations were very clean, the food was excellent, and bed was comfortable. We even threw them a few curve balls by bringing along our bikes (pedal) and a few envelopes that needed stamped and sent. They answered the call both times. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for an enjoyable B&B in Annapolis! read more

Warm and welcoming, great breakfast, and a wonderful location. We were greeted by a friendly and lovely dog when we arrived and an outstanding host. Our room was comfortable and cute. We had our own bathroom, though, I think there was one room that didn't have a bathroom in their room, but down the hall. We had our own tv and a selection of DVD's in the basement to watch. The little touches of Chez Amis made our stay worthwhile. From the free wifi, iPad, and laptop to use to the DVD library to the free beverages on the top shelf of the fridge. There were homemade cookies to have and a lovely chess set. Additionally, the breakfast was fresh and delicious. A wonderful three course breakfast with such flavorful and creative dishes. I would recommend you to stay at Chez Amis. The location is perfect, the bed is comfortable, and the food is great. Not to mention the price is reasonable for all the extra goodies involved. read more

My wife and I stayed here for the Memorial holiday weekend. Fantastic location in the center of town. There's no parking on site but there's a garage a 5 minute walk away and Elly provides coupons that give a 50% discount. Rooms were very clean and nicely decorated with a clear attention to detail, and the breakfast is huge - a full 3 courses to kick off your day! Highly recommended read more

My wife and I stayed here this past weekend while visiting Annapolis for the first time. I booked this place after finding it through Google - reviews seemed unanimously positive so figured it would be good but sometimes with B&B's you just never know. Well, our experience was as good if not better than the reviews. Elly and Joe are very nice and friendly people. They take pride in their establishment and it really shows. They focus on every last detail and keep the place immaculately clean and neat. We've stayed in other B&Bs where sometimes you feel like you're intruding on someone's home. Quite the opposite at Chez Amis. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and very comfortable. Elly is also an amazing cook! The breakfasts she made were tasty, healthy and very filling. We stayed in the Stateroom which is the biggest room in the B&B. It includes a bathroom, a king size bed which was comfortable, plenty of room for your stuff and a flat screen tv. The bedding was clean, comfy and very tasteful (Ralph Lauren Stars and Stripes theme). Elly was also nice enough to turn down our bed at night. When we booked the reservation, the location seemed good. After walking around Annapolis for 3 days, we can confirm that this is the best situated B&B in the city. It is literally one block from the downtown dock where many of the restaurants are located and one block from the capitol building. But it's tucked into a quiet residential street where car traffic is infrequent at best (most people walk in downtown Annapolis), so you'll be able to sleep easy when back in your room. Don't forget Maggie the wonder dog - she's a very friendly and well-behaved pup who will sit by the front door, eager to go chase some squirrels. Joe and Elly, thanks for helping make our first trip to Annapolis a memorable one! We will surely stay there again next time we are in Annapolis. read more

Don and Mickie were wonderful hosts for our girls weekend away! They went above and beyond to make our birthday fabulous, complete with a delicious home-made chocolate cake. This was the only B&B in Annapolis with a room that could accommodate three of us at a reasonable rate for a one-night stay, and I'm so glad it worked out. Our room was adorable and the location couldn't have been better. Breakfast on Sunday morning was amazing, and we were lucky enough to enjoy it with Don and Mickie and a few of their family members (and of course Dixie, their miniature Dachshund). We will definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for NYE and had a wonderful time. It's a great location so we could walk everywhere. Elly was so nice while we were there and made us feel right at home. She even bought some New Years necklaces, masks, etc for us. Her breakfast was amazing, and it was so much fun to sit around the table and chat with the other tenants staying there. I highly recommend this place! read more

Terrific inn near the steps of the State House and convenient to all things important in historical Annapolis. Lovely hosts, comfortable rooms delicious breakfast and just a pleasure. read more

Elly was wonderful, the Treaty of Paris room was great, and the location is unbeatable, One of the few places I've stayed where I would go out of my way to stay here again. Elly even wore sunglasses at one point during breakfast (we had gotten engaged a couple weeks ago) and announced something like, "I had to put sunglasses on because it's so bright in here!" Little fun stuff like that made us very comfortable. read more
