Hotel proposed to have some of the highest-priced rooms in Baltimore

Rates from $350 to $1500 per night

When the Four Seasons Baltimore opened last year on the downtown waterfront, it became one of the city's most expensive hotels, with rooms starting at $279 per night. Now a local development group plans to open a boutique hotel featuring rooms that will be far more pricey -- averaging nearly $650 a night -- in a part of town away from the harbor and not known for commanding such rates. The $16 million project, called The Ivy, is planned to open by spring 2014 inside the former Inn at Government House property at Calvert and Biddle streets in Mount Vernon.
