​The Best Places to Stay in Annapolis

Located on the mighty Chesapeake Bay, the many historic districts of Annapolis present visitors with the unique opportunity to choose between old-time accommodations with modern amenities or stay in a more recently constructed establishment. Either way, you'll find Annapolis has no shortage of awe-inspiring lodgings.

Three enchanting historic buildings make up the Historic Inns of Annapolis.

The Governor Calvert House, built in 1727, is the oldest, with the Robert Johnson House and the Maryland Inn constructed nearly half a century later in 1772. These Victorian getaways offer the ideal home base within walking distance of Chesapeake Bay.

The gorgeous brick buildings deliver the charm one can expect from a historic hotel, but with modern amenities like high-speed Internet, catering services, conference facilities, and even dry cleaning services.

Constructed in 1986 and renovated in 2007, the Crowne Plaza Annapolis sits mere miles from the lively historic downtown Annapolis scene as well as the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

The Crowne Plaza boasts an indoor pool, a business center, a fitness center, an on-site restaurant and bar with delicious, creative seasonal drink specials, and more.

The rooms are clean and modern, with complimentary Wi-Fi. If you're environmentally sensitive, check out their PURE® Wellness guestrooms. According to the Crowne Plaza Annapolis website, these rooms "undergo a patented 7-step purification process to remove up to 99.9% of pollutants and allergens, so you can breathe easy and relax comfortably."

Few things say luxury like a Westin hotel, and The Westin Annapolis is no exception.

This upscale modern establishment sits nearby Chesapeake Bay and the United States Naval Academy. The combination of a downtown location and their pet-friendly attitude positions you to bring your furry best friend along and explore the historic streets together.

The Westin Annapolis offers all the amenities you'd expect from a Westin Hotel, including flat-screen TVs, out-of-this-world bedding, a fitness center, a restaurant serving healthy dishes, an indoor pool, and so much more.

The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel belongs to Marriott's Autograph Collection, which provides an uncommon level of luxury.

Guests don't need to walk to Chesapeake Bay because they're staying right on it. The Waterfront Hotel is steps away from the exciting nightlife, restaurants, museums, and shopping of historic downtown Annapolis.

They reimagined and redesigned the rooms, upgraded the amenities, and the service is now more personalized than ever. Built in 1967 and renovated in 2013, the one amenity that didn't need upgrading was the breathtaking views of the water.
