Hotel at a Glance: Hotel Brexton
The seven-story Hotel Brexton, which dates back to 1881, is a stately manse; it’s right at home in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon, which is perhaps the city’s most culturally and historically significant neighborhood. The hotel was the childhood home of Wallis Simpson, an American socialite who caused an international scandal when she had an affair with (and later married) Edward, Prince of Wales—heir to the British royal throne—in the 1930s. You can find out more about Wallis’s story in the hotel lobby, which is decorated with photos and other memorabilia.
- Where you’ll stay: Guest rooms come with 32-inch flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and iPod docking stations.
- Architectural style: Queen Anne
- Enjoy a European-style breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, and cereals in the lobby.
- Get caffeinated at the Latte Lounge, which serves cappuccinos, lattes, and hot chocolate.
- Distance to the Inner Harbor about 3 miles
Baltimore, Maryland: World-Class Museums and Historic Waterfront Neighborhoods
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor—a busy port that was redeveloped as a tourism district in the mid-20th century—has become one of the city’s best-known and most beloved landmarks. Water taxis ferry visitors from one historic, cultural, or family-friendly attraction to another. Sites along the routes include the star-shaped Fort McHenry (where US forces repelled the British during the War of 1812, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner”) and restaurants where you can sample the city’s famous crab cakes.
You’ll find several unique museums here, too, from the National Aquarium—which houses more than 16,000 sea creatures in realistic habitats—to the wonderfully oddball American Visionary Art Museum, one of the country’s leading institutions for outsider art. For a stunning view of the skyline, the Inner Harbor, and Chesapeake Bay, head up to the 27th floor of the Baltimore World Trade Center, where you can see the city from 360 degrees at the observation deck.
Baltimore is made up of many little neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Mount Vernon, one of the oldest, has been a fashionable part of town since one of the country’s first monuments to George Washington was built here in 1829. Today, the neighborhood’s elegant 19th-century townhouses share space with The Walters Art Museum and the Lyric Opera House. In Fell’s Point, lively taverns and restaurants line the cobblestone streets of this waterfront district that was a pit stop for sailors in the 1700s.

About Hotel Brexton
Years before she would scandalize a nation and inspire the king of England to leave his throne for love, Bessie Wallis Warfield—later known as Wallis Simpson—moved into Hotel Brexton with her mother after the untimely death of her father. In addition to its stint as the famous duchess's childhood home, Hotel Brexton has collected a treasury of tales during its long history, which began in 1881. Though it was abandoned for years, the seven-story brick building has been restored, and guests can once again enjoy its elegant spiral staircase and airy digs.
Although the hotel has a storied history stretching back more than a century, the staff outfits each newly renovated room with modern amenities, including a 32-inch flat-panel TV, high-speed wireless Internet, and an in-room coffeemaker. Each morning, they fill travelers' stomachs with a European continental breakfast spread, and the manager also hosts regular wine and cheese receptions to see if guests can guess which moon each cheese hails from.
Many of the buildings surrounding Hotel Brexton are logged in the National Register of Historical Places, and guests can explore the Mount Vernon neighborhood to visit the Peabody Institute or the Walters Art Museum. The rest of downtown Baltimore also amuses guests with its museums, theaters, and shops.
