Baltimore, MD - Charm City
Baltimore is fresh, fun and exciting. A contemporary blend of traditional and
modern, the city has experienced a revitalization comparable to no other. The
splendor of towering glass mixes with traditional neighborhood row houses and white
marble steps to produce a city with something for every visitor. Baltimore's
renaissance has transformed its Inner Harbor and surrounding area into a fabulous
playground where visitors and residents mingle in one of the world's most spectacular
waterfront settings.
The conference hotel looks out on and is connected by skywalks directly to
Harborplace Pavilion, where water taxis wait to take you to Little Italy, Fells Point
or on a tour of the harbor (about $4.00 for an all-day pass). The National Aquarium,
Camden Yards baseball park, the Baltimore Maritime Museum (tour the submarine Torsk
or the Lightship Chesapeake) and the Maryland Science Center (planetarium, IMAX
theater) are all within easy walking distance. Visit Edgar Allen Poe's grave
