Sagamore Pendry Baltimore

If past is prologue, then Baltimore’s future looks bright indeed thanks to Sagamore Pendry. The historic Recreation Pier (where immigrants once arrived) has been transformed into a 128-room boutique hotel that stays true to its roots while delivering plenty of modern conveniences. Icons of glory days are sprinkled about, from images of blue crabs and Edgar Allan Poe to a 17th-century cannon under glass in the moody Cannon Bar. The rustic-glam Rec Pier Chop House quickly has become the city’s top spot for Italian, and locals often linger over crafted sips by the infinity pool, which appears to float on the harbor.
