The Marriott 410-962-020
The Sheraton 410-962-8300
Holiday Inn 410-685-3500

are all within walking distance..........good luck though as rooms are getting difficult to get from what I hear.

There is a Days Inn right across the street from the convention center.

There's also Harbor Court - (410) 234-0176 Link
Stouffer - (410) 547-1200
and Hyatt - (410) 528-1234

also within very close walking distance (and on Light St.).

Inner Harbor would be the specific correct area. If they don't have that, perhaps Downtown but that's kind of general.

The Days Inn is at
100 Hopkins Place
Baltimore, MD, 21201 US

The Marriott is a very nice hotel. When I was there for the '03 ANA, I was in the concierge level suite, which had windows that let you look into half of the baseball stadium... watching on TV, and when the ball went to the right place, watching in person

This time, I'm staying at our new house!

One of the dealers I spoke with at the last show told me he stays in Laurel (my home town). From North Laurel, it's about 20 minutes South of the Inner Harbor/Convention Center. A straight drive up 95. There are a ton of hotels and motels on Rt.1 (Washington Blvd) which is parallel and about 1/2 mile from Rt. 95.

By North Laurel, I mean North of Rt 198 (which crosses 95). If you use a search tool with mapping, that shouldn't be hard to spot.

My only advice would be to stick with recognized named hotel/motel chains. Some of the others are a little seedy. There's a nice Holiday Inn and a Suisse Chalet at Rt.1 & 175 and a just built Executive Suite hotel in Savage (might be considered Jessup) on Rt. 1. Search Columbia, Savage, Jessup, BWI (Lithicum), and Elkridge. They are all basically the same area for this purpose.

Here's a link to a nice lodging listing that found on a site for an Antique show via Google Hotel List - Baltimore Area

I hope this helps. That may be an option for you if you don't mind the short drive to and from for the show, especially if the Inner Harbor places are booked. Hope you can make it and come to the lunch on Saturday.

Hi All,

Ended up booking for the Wyndham. Couldn't get the 119 rate but web rate of 143 was decent compared to others. Yep, they are booking fast...
