| THE NEIGHBORHOOD |
Welcome to the vibrant and historic neighborhoods of Federal Hill and Inner Harbor, two of Baltimore, Maryland’s most iconic areas, each offering a distinct taste of the city’s rich culture and heritage.
Federal Hill, set on the South Baltimore peninsula, is a treasure trove of American history. A walk through its tree-lined streets is akin to stepping back into the 19th century, with the boasting stunning period architecture. As the heart of this neighborhood is Federal Hill Park, a lush hilltop haven offering panoramic views of the Baltimore skyline and the neighboring Inner Harbor.
This community is buzzing with life, hosting a collection of trendy bars, boutiques, art galleries, and eclectic restaurants. Make sure to visit Cross Street Market, a modern reincarnation of the historical marketplace, where local vendors serve a diverse menu of culinary delights.
On the other side of the water sits the Inner Harbor, the city’s primary entertainment and tourism hubspot. The waterside community features attractions such as the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, and the USS Constellation. Stroll along the scenic promenade to encounter lively street performances, or take to the water in a paddleboat or Baltimore Water Taxi for picturesque city views. When the sun dips below the horizon, the Inner Harbor truly comes to life; its many restaurants, bars, and entertainment complex lights up the night.
Federal Hill and Inner Harbor are well-connected, offering convenient public transportation options for exploring the wider city. But perhaps one of the standout features of these neighborhoods, especially for sports fans, is their proximity to Camden Yards and M&T Bank stadium, home to the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens. Within walking distance from the stadiums is FLOHOM 1 | Bay Escape, the ideal lodging option for any sports enthusiast. Imagine spending an exhilarating day cheering on your favorite team, then strolling back to your comfortable accommodations without the hassle of navigating traffic or searching for public transportation.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, foodie, sports fan, or just looking to immerse yourself in the local culture, choosing to stay at FLOHOM 1 | Bay Escape in the heart of Baltimore’s Federal Hill and Inner Harbor neighborhoods ensure a memorable experience filled with excitement, convenience, and comfort.
