Johns Hopkins University is planning to open a university-branded hotel and conference center across from its Homewood campus by summer 2021.
The school revealed plans Wednesday to convert an 11-story apartment building at the corner of North Charles and East 33rd streets into a 115-room hotel, complete with a restaurant, and meeting and conference spaces. Study Hotels will lead the renovation and operate the hotel on the property that is owned by Hopkins. The hotel will be called The Study at Johns Hopkins. Renovation plans for the project will be subject to design approval by city officials in the coming months. Hopkins hopes to secure all necessary approvals by this winter. The site's current building, called Blackstone, holds 99 apartments.
