Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown has stood among notable landmarks like The Baltimore Basilica and the First Enoch Pratt Free Library. Originally serving the youth and young adults of Baltimore, the building later became a dormitory for Baltimore International College, specializing in culinary and hospitality management. After a renovation in 2014, the building reopened a year later as the Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown. The renovations celebrate the building’s academic past, with a literary theme that shines through in its Poet's Modern Cocktails and Eats restaurant.
“It is a privilege to share the rich history of our hotel with guests from around the world,” said General Manager Eric Reyes. “This recognition not only honors our commitment to preserving the past but also enhances the unique and memorable experience we offer to every visitor. We look forward to continuing to celebrate the stories and heritage that make Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown truly special.”
