Where to stay in Bolton Hill
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Bolton Hill suits travellers who want a quiet residential base near the centre of Baltimore rather than the downtown crowds. You will not find many rooms along Bolton Hill's rowhouse streets. The rowhouse streets run past the First Presbyterian Church and Manse and the Madison Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, with the Washington Monument and the Maryland Institute College of Art a short walk south.
Space stays calm. Those who would trade hotel rows for tree-lined blocks near the Baltimore Streetcar Museum find the quarter rewards the walk.
