Condé Nast writers distinguish themselves by transforming even the smallest travel moments into scene-setting prose: the hotel lobby is never merely entered, it's experienced. And so, here we begin. My family and I arrived at Revival Hotel in Baltimore pleasantly weary, the kind of tired earned after hours of open road and anticipation. First impressions came courtesy of the valet station, where a slightly cinematic exchange played out. The attendant was... memorable, a touch enigmatic, and admittedly a challenge to decipher after our long haul. Still, persistence won out and eventually we conveyed the essential truth of the matter: we were guests, and our car would like to retire for the evening as well. Inside, the mood shifted like a page turn. At the front desk, we were met by a woman whose warmth felt intentional, almost bespoke. She checked us in with ease and conversational grace. When I casually inquired about charging stations, she gently delivered the news that the garage lacked one, no inconvenience at all, as we were static for the day and planning little beyond restoration. The elevator ride upward hinted at something promising, but the reveal came upon opening the door to our room, an impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed sanctuary that balanced boutique restraint with lived-in comfort. Spacious, serene, and styled with a designer's quiet confidence, it was an ideal home base for our family of three. Once luggage was tucked away and a small reset ensued, curiosity led my son and me to explore the hotel's offerings. The ground-floor coffee shop hummed with artisanal energy, while the karaoke rooms winked with playful intrigue just beyond, a modern hospitality love note to both culture and whimsy. And then there was Topside: the rooftop restaurant poised like a promise above the city. We peeked in early, delighted by the panoramic potential and already plotting our return for dinner. By night's end and trip's close, the verdict was clear: Revival excels at the art of the stay. Effortlessly clean, generously welcoming, and balanced in its offerings, it delivered a travel experience that felt both curated and authentic. Would we return? Without hesitation. And as for Topside? A reliably chic and satisfyingly flavorful companion to a very good hotel stay. read more

From the moment I pulled up to Hotel Revival, I sensed I was stepping into something special. The experience starts with the valet team, who set the tone with genuine courtesy and effortless efficiency. The front desk staff continues that welcome--warm, polished, and attentive--creating the kind of first impression that tells you your comfort truly matters here. The hotel itself is an unexpected treasure. Art deco meets modern design in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh, with thoughtful details everywhere you turn. Each hallway and corner seems intentionally arranged, as though the building was curated rather than simply decorated. There are quirky, charming nooks throughout the property--little pockets of personality that make you feel as though you've stepped back in time in the best possible way. Real, healthy plants of all kinds add warmth and life without ever feeling overwhelming. My room carries the same thoughtful aesthetic. The bed feels like home--comfortable, embracing, and perfect for settling in after exploring the city. The drapery design is surprisingly impressive: sumptuous nighttime curtains that trap warmth and shut out nearly all light, paired with daytime sheers that gently filter sunlight without sacrificing privacy. Noise has been minimal, almost impressively so, leaving space for true rest. The views are another bonus--cityscapes on all sides that make you appreciate exactly where you are. Whether you're up at the rooftop restaurant or grabbing a bite downstairs, both dining spaces offer fresh, flavorful dishes that feel crafted rather than prepared. Each meal has been a pleasant surprise. Maintenance and housekeeping deserve recognition as well. Considering the age of the building, the way they keep everything clean, fresh, and well-maintained is admirable. It's clear they take pride in their work, and it shows. Even the guests add charm to the environment. Everyone seems to have their own style, creating a kind of living, moving gallery that only enriches the overall atmosphere. And when something needs attention, staff--like Amy at the front desk--handle it swiftly and kindly, a testament to the trust and autonomy management gives their team. I'm still a current guest as I write this, and I'm already looking forward to returning. Part of me hesitates to share this review for fear it will make it harder to book in the future--but some places deserve to be celebrated. Not perfect, but beautifully serendipitous. A true gem. read more

We used hotel Revival for our wedding room block. The actual hotel: it's perfectly nice -- clean and comfortable if a tad dingy. Great location. Very slow elevators. It's overpriced for what it is, and the valet parking is also obscenely priced. We stayed in the Miss Mary suite and it was really large (and had 1.5 bathrooms) which was fantastic for getting ready for our wedding with all of our friends and family. Food/Bars: We got food and drink at the dashery a few times, and had late night kareoke. It was mostly fine, except my morning coffee which was really chunky, and undrinkable. I ordered again the next day thinking it was a fluke, but it wasn't -- so that's concerning. The drinks at karoke were meh (and only ordered by the caraffe). They were extreme sticklers about no outside food, and for some reason delivered us a pitcher of margaritas after they had closed for the night, which we then had to drink in the lobby. Ease of room block: We found Hotel Revival to be pretty slow with communication before our stay, so we were nervous. But, ultimately, they did what we needed them to. Staff and experience while staying: Everyone was SO nice and so helpful. From the valet who helped us unload boxes upon boxes of heavy decor to the front desk staff who gave us a million keys and brought champagne glasses to our room when we forgot them, we were blown away by how kind and helpful everyone was. There were a few minor issues -- not giving all our guests welcome bags, and forgetting to bring a few things we asked for to the room. But, on the whole we so appreciated all of the staff and had a much more positive experience than we expected based on our pre wedding communication with them. read more

The hotel is located in one of my favorite areas in Baltimore, Mt Vernon. The decor is rustic/chic ? The staff and valet service were very attentive and checking in was very quick and easy. Our room was a nice size. Some issues were, no blanket, thread bare towels, our room was not cleaned the next day. The television was flakey, no cable or movie channels. The previous person in our room failed to sign out of Netflix, I cleared their information and my own. Overall impression is that it is a decent hotel, not a good hotel. read more

I've stayed here twice, and the rooms are really well outfitted with a lovely assortment of coffees and teas and toiletries. The decor in the public spaces and in the rooms is stunning. Comfy bed with crisp linens. Great vibe. And the staff is very friendly and accommodating. We stayed for two nights this last time, and no one ever showed up to tidy our room and refresh our water and amenities, so that was a disappointment. Otherwise our stay was lovely. read more

I stayed two nights at Hotel Revival with my dog, and we had the best time. From check-in to valet parking to housekeeping to the cafe, the staff were all so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. They were busy, but they didn't miss a beat and quickly responded to my requests. The Revival King was lovely! Our spacious room was on the 8th floor, with a lovely view of Mt Vernon. The bed was super comfortable, the furnishings were tasteful, and the art was beautiful. I loved trying the local snacks available in the room. Several types of high-quality tea and coffee were available, along with a variable-temperature pour-over kettle, nice dishware, and free filtered water. Liquor, beer, soda, and Gatorade were all available for purchase, too. I couldn't have been happier, and I am a picky traveler. I'll be headed back to Hotel Revival again the next time I am in Charm City. read more

This hotel is EVERYTHING! It's central, comfortable, safe and has amazing amenities. I spent the night here to help with a work event. They have a beautiful rooftop bar that gives you a 360 view of the city and that serves really delicious cocktails. I enjoyed the aperol spritz I got there. Every corner of this hotel is aesthetically pleasing. They also have a speakeasy bar. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check it out on this visit, but plan to in the future. There is another spot that offers karaoke too and a cute little cafe for a quick morning bite. I drove up from Richmond. Upon arrival, I parked my car right in front and was able to get it valeted. It was about $49 for the evening. To get my car the next day I just texted a number. Checking in took a little bit. I think there was some overbooking issues with memorial day weekend stuff, but this didn't bother me too much. I got a spacious king bedroom. I adored the art on the walls. It's not often I'm at a hotel and think that I want the art they have on their walls in my own home. The bathroom was beautifully designed too with a cozy tub. Reliving my experience here by writing about it is making wish I was there right now. I really loved this hotel and highly recommend checking it out. It's in one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the city. read more

I came to hotel revival after going to the flower Mart and decided to go get a coffee and a breakfast sandwich at their coffee shop. i'm a big coffee shop lover, but I normally just order a basic chai tea latte when I'm at coffee shops first of all the breakfast sandwich was so good. I have to come back and get it again. Then my chai tea was made so perfect and some places just don't make a good chai tea but their coffee shop here definitely satisfied my taste. I will definitely be back at their coffee shop here because it was a wonderful and fast experience and it was super cute inside. read more

Nice hotel overall. We were actually reserved at a different hotel nearby, but it was definitely subpar, so luckily Revival had a room. The rooms are nice and stylish. We had a bit of trouble getting our AC to cool the room, but eventually it worked. The bed was ok night one, but started to hurt my back a bit night 2...mattress seemed just a bit worn. We grabbed food a couple times at the cafe downstairs, and I found the food to be pretty good. All areas of the hotel we ventured to seemed clean and tidy. The biggest issue we had was with our luggage. The front door entry was pretty tight and had no ramp, so as small ladies we struggled to get our larger bag in and out. Other than that the stay was pretty good. To me the area was hit or miss. We were there for a specific event next door, making the location ideal. But outside of that particular situation it wouldn't have been an area I'd have sought out. I wasn't especially comfortable as I walked to a few nearby locations. Some interesting architecture around however. read more

Hotel Revival Baltimore - A hotel guest. - Hotels Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Was a good place to stay - The DASHERY has good breakfast - highly recommend - pretty much that's it

ORIGIN: Hotel Revival opened in 2018, a true revival of the former hotel that marked this site for nearly four decades -- the Peabody Court Hotel. The 107 room hotel is currently part of the Austin-based New Waterloo hotel management group (https://newwaterloo.com). LOCATION: The hotel is situated in the historic community of Mount Vernon, a residential neighborhood once favored by 19th century U.S entrepreneurs and social leaders, including the founder of B & O Railroad, John Garrett and his daughter Mary Elizabeth, a women's rights pioneer. A landscaped park that is adorned with a water fountain, benches, and cafe tables is located across the street. CONCEPT: The hotel is designed to make guests feel that 101 West Monument is their own residence, however temporary. The interior design is eclectic, suggesting rooms are composed of sentimental treasures and investments acquired over time. EXPERIENCE: I did feel right at home in the Washington Monument facing room, a notion supported by the cheerful and helpful service staff, including Towanda, Florenzo, and Dorion, and thoughtfully added room amenities. For example, the suite has a water kettle, a variety of bagged teas and coffees, and ceramic mugs, as well as a leather bedside tray and decorative wall hook to store items. A cafe ('Dashery), rooftop restaurant (Topside), and bar (B-Side) can also be found in the fourteen story brick building, making it unnecessary for weary guests to travel far. The rooftop restaurant and ground floor bar have some unique features that in themselves make the hotel a worthy destination (reviews forthcoming). TIPS: Rates vary significantly (I'm talking hundreds of dollar variation), with summer being the least expensive time to visit. If your goal is not to escape summertime East coast humidity, summer is a frugal time to arrange a stay. Monument rooms ensure a view that faces the park and Washington Monument. The hotel welcomes pets. The beds are platform style, so the mattresses are without box springs and as a result are on the firmer side. A rooftop Garden Room is available for private events. I was told by Sarah (Topside hostess) that all employees are invited to a monthly meditation/yoga event in this room! Some items produced by women and Black-owned businesses are sold in a corner of the lobby. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Worst hotel experience ever and somehow wasn't offered a refund. We had to switch rooms THREE TIMES and the third room wasn't great either, but we were tired and using this as a place to rest while my father was in the hospital. First room, a dog was left alone in its room for hours and nonstop barking. We saw the owners come back later and the hotel seemed to have no measures in place to protect pets from this kind of neglect. Pets should never be left alone in hotels - they are anxious in a new place and how do we know they are being cared for? The bathroom had clearly not been cleaned as well - pictured. Second room, the sink was broken and gushing water from the pipes - picture attached. Third room, smelled like weed and clearly hadn't been aired out. The sink also wasn't draining at all. At this point, we just couldn't deal with it anymore and stuck with the awful room. What a shameful place and a huge waste of money. read more

The location was perfect for what we needed. But...I've stayed in a lot of better hotels for a lot less money! Personnel were outstanding and helpful. The mattresses were the worst! Like sleeping on a Futon in your cousin's basement! Personnel get 5-stars Rooms get 2-stars. The Dashery Cafe was the best part of our experience and their food was amazing! 5-stars! read more

We have a great stay which included a block of rooms for family attending a wedding. This place seamlessly blends the old with the new. The lobby is inviting and comfortable, the rooms were well appointed and eclectic, and the bar was excellent. Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful, particularly when this traveler managed to leave his computer on the nightstand. Lorenza and Sydney deserve a special shout out for getting it shipped back to me. They were on top of it every step of the way and really put my mind at ease. I look forward to a return visit when I'm next in the Baltimore area. read more

The hotel is beautiful. Well maintained, and such a unique property. I initially gave the hotel a 2 star rating, but I am now updating it to a 5 star. I attempted to use valet parking, but as my car was manual transmission, no one was able to it was left in the street. This wouldn't have been a big deal, except I was then charged the full $50 for parking, despite approaching several staff members about my concerns. Today, I received a reply from the general manager, with an apology and a full refund. I can now give the hotel the five star review it deserves!! read more

The hotel was fine, until the cleaning staff stole the nice, sleek, zippered case for my Sony headphones off the dresser. There wasn't room for it in the safe after I'd put all my electronics in it, so I left it out, thinking "who would steal an empty case?" Well, I found out who would steal an empty case. The front desk says nothing was turned into lost and found, but they'll call me if it turns up, blah blah blah. Now I can't pack the headphones or protect them, unless I hold them in my hand all the way back to the West Coast. Thanks for nothing, Hotel Revival. read more

My experience at this hotel was by far the worst experience I've ever had for the amount of money it cost per night. 80 degrees and a non working A/C was absolutely ridiculous. Receiving a box fan to circulate hot air is beyond my comprehension. Not being fully compensated and or at least partially compensated is inexcusable. Having maintenance who cannot fix a problem and pretend as if they did is a problem. The hotel appears to have this regal/modern flare yet most staff were in street clothes except valet. The manager had a hoodie and jeans on and he's expected to represent the hotel? It's mind blowing. I couldn't tell him from a person on the street. The quality of service does not reflect the standards of the hotel. read more

We stayed 2 nights for our wedding anniversary and everything was absolutely perfect. Every interaction with the staff was above and beyond starting with the gentleman who served as our valet and bellhop (missed his name), then Lawanda who checked us in at the desk and Vanessa who we ran into on multiple occasions-they really made us feel like we were part of the family. The Topside Restaurant food and drinks were delicious and both of our servers, Sue and Larisa, were wonderful and super helpful with recommendations! Visited the B-side speakeasy for cocktails after dinner and, holy smokes! The atmosphere (decor and music) was amazing. Our bartender Brent was the most fun, knowledgeable and creative cocktail artist we've ever encountered. Again, we truly felt like we were in the home of just the most gracious, welcoming family our entire trip. We can't wait to go back! read more

Hotel is in a great location, walkable to so much and a beautiful neighborhood. The bed was not comfortable and very loud - if your travel partner rolls over you are definitely waking up. Based on other reviews they need to upgrade the mattresses. I would expect better quality for the price of the room. Also, the cleaning staff knocked on our door at 9:30am when check out is at 11. That was pretty annoying. read more

Booked a stay for the end of March for an impromptu Baltimore trip and had a great time. As a UBalt alum, it was nice to be in the Mount Vernon neighborhood again, and it's a quick ride to the inner harbor for the tourist stuff. Front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Had a maintenance issue when the fire doors closed and I was unable to get back to my room, and everything was taken care of very promptly. Room was cute and had a great view. Make sure that you check out the wallpaper on the staircase right past the valet desk. It will surprise you. read more

Hotel Revival Baltimore - Bed - Hotels Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

If only all hotels had such excellent attention to detail and intention to create a unique, welcoming sense of place. Every staff person I interacted with was friendly and professional, the room was comfortable (love the kettle rather than a Keurig! Much cleaner, and my tea didn't taste like coffee), the gym was small but adequate, each part of the hotel was well curated from a design perspective, and onsite restaurants were excellent. In particular, the Dashery offers excellent options such as bagels, smoothies, fruit, and pastries. My only (minor) complaint is in regard to the upstairs restaurant. The vegetarian entrée is a $24 plate of cauliflower and a few pickles, which is devoid of any protein value (something that wouldn't be offered to a meat-eater). Suggested additions for future vegetarian dishes include beans, lentils, edamame, tofu, tempeh, seitan, etc. read more

Incredible hotel staff from valet to front desk staff to restaurant staff The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable Rates on rooms very reasonable as well The only thing that wasn't great was it cost 46 overnight to park which is very, very high cost But the whole valet staff were great read more

Whoever designed the room so that the closet was located inside the bathroom (behind the bathroom door for added awkwardness) obviously did not do well in school. The lighting was horribly inadequate. The coffee pot was absolutely filthy. The coffee cups had stains from previous use. The clock radio was coated in dust. The charge for valet parking is outrageous. STAY ELSEWHERE! read more

Linda is AMAZING!!!! This was my first time here on my birthday and she made it perfect!!!! Thx you Linda

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful hotel. The front desk was courteous and attentive. We had a room on the 14th floor, one floor below the restaurant. There was no noise coming from upstairs. The only sounds all night was the slight hum from the AC. Decor was modern and sophisticated. Very clean room, nearly dustless on all surfaces. Furniture in excellent condition. No bedbugs or fleas. Linens were crisp and king bed was great. Elevator only works for guests, unless going to the restaurant, so there's an added layer of security. Neighborhood was lovely. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if ever in town again. read more

We were looking forward to having a staycation at this nice-looking hotel, but our plan was immediately ruined after checking in. Even though I made sure about the room we reserved (King Studio) by calling a few days prior to arrival, we were brought to a regular King room without any explanation about the change at the front desk. When I contacted the front, we were told the room we reserved was sold out. The strange thing was that the spacious rooms were available according to their website on that day and the next day. But they insisted the rooms were sold out and they offered a refund for the difference. Of course, it was good we got some money back, but we rather paid more to stay in the spacious room. After coming back home, I received the receipt and noticed that breakfast was charged even if we paid for the Bed and Breakfast plan. No response to my email for a few days, I finally called the hotel and was told it was fixed. When I saw the revised receipt, there was still another mistake. No response to my email again, I called them but my request was denied even after they talked to a manager. I requested to transfer the call to a manager, but his message box was full. I asked for his email address and sent him an email and left my name and phone number. No emails or phone calls have come back from a manager. I knew this hotel became out of the Hyatt group in May and I assumed that affected their management, but this kind of management was not expected from the level of the hotel they claimed. I gave them an extra star because the facility itself and the working staff (valet parking, breakfast restaurant, etc.) were nice (except for one receptionist), but I won't be surprised if their rating will be going downhill in the near future based on my experience with the bad management. read more
