Everything about this experience was excellent! From the valet to the concierge to the check-in person, there was a warmth and sense of pride working for and on behalf of the hotel. We have traveled the world and stayed in the best hotels, but this is by far, the best experience ever.
Simply outstanding! From arrival to departure, everything was 5 stars. This was our second time staying at this wonderful hotel. Staff greeted us with a friendly smile and a warm “welcome back.” The room (#16) was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. Additionally, the included amenities throughout the hotel and in our room were top shelf/first class…no one does it better! We shall definitely return. Highly recommended.
It's like staying in a gilded home of your own! It's like no other hotel. Service is impeccable. No nickel and dining you and the amenities are worthy of the price. this is our second time staying at The IVY.
The service was impeccable and the breakfast was very good. Tea service was excellent. The hotel was everything to be expected of a 5 start establishment. My only suggestion would be to supply bath tub amenities such as bubble bath or salts to improve that experience.
Hands down the best place to stay in Baltimore, whether you are visiting going to a show or a game or in the city for whatever. The staff is amazing, the public rooms amazing, High Tea amazing, Breakfast amazing and the rooms and suites AMAZING. Thank you so much everyone who made our stay so special.
The Ivy Hotel is always a pleasure and this visit did not disappoint. Room 13 might be our new favorite (all the rooms are great). Our server Linda, our trip. She was like all the stall was friendly, took the time to remember all our likes and went above and beyond - which is the standard but Linda made this trip especially great at both breakfast and tea. Hope we’re back soon. Well worth your 2 keys!!!
Totally idyllic two day stay at the Ivy to celebrate a birthday. Talked long time friends into joining us from five hours away and we all could not have been more pleased. Rooms were impeccably clean with unique decor and personal touches. Amenities were complimentary and plentiful. Staff was gracious and kind. So much to discover in the surrounding historic district- walks, art museums, etc but did not want to leave the comfortable surroundings and ambiance of the hotel. Like a small luxury cruise ship, not on water. Lovely!
My husband and I travel all around the world. We decided to celebrate his milestone birthday and retirement at The Ivy, which had been on our bucket list for a while. My goodness! It's the best hotel we've ever visited. If there were such a thing as a six star hotel, this would be it. The rooms, the luxurious touches, the service, the thoughtful design, the food, the ammenities--all perfection. No detail was overlooked. Everyone on the staff greeted us by name. Their car service was able to take us anywhere witinin a 3-mile radius, so we were able to valet park on arrival and not have to drive anywhere ourselves until we left. They have a no tipping policy. The room is stocked with wine, coffee, tea, local beers, sparkling water, etc. (all complimentary). They anticipated our needs and made our stay magical. We hope to return soon. Shout out to our servers, Anthony, April, and Jackie; our driver Chris; our consierge James. Well done one and all.

This was our 2nd stay, this time with a toddler. We loved our room and the room was already setup with baby stuff, including a playpen, changing table, baby toiletries, towel, robe and a plushie.
Just spent the weekend at the Ivy. First rate experience from the check-in, with a personal tour of all the common areas, to a lovely, intimate room with everything one could need.
We enjoyed a marvelous dinner at Magdalena, while the concierge services and attentiveness to our requests were top-notch. The property is charming, well cared for and an architectural gem. Will be back!

Excellent property, great location and terrific staff. Spa is lovely
The staff at this hotel really make everything come together. They remember you from past stays, greet you by name on checkin, and anticipate your needs without ever being intrusive.
This is one of the most fabulous properties I have ever visited! Top in the world, the old world style, fabulous food, and the people that work there love what they do! The only place to stay in Baltimore!
