Blue Door On Baltimore News
Baltimore, MD December 15, 2007 – The renovation activity at the Blue Door on Baltimore seems to be un-ending. If this is your first newsletter, thank you for taking some time to read or digest of current activities.
The Blue Door on Baltimore, when completed will have three luxury king-size guest rooms serving our guests Casual Elegance by the Harbor. The Building is a 3800 square foot restored Baltimore Row House located in the Butcher’s hill area of Baltimore, rich in history and steps away from Patterson Park. We are minutes from all Baltimore has to offer including close proximity to the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus. The Inner Harbor, Little Italy, Canton and Fells Point are on all sides of our neighborhood making the number of things to see and do almost limitless.
Current Activities – From our last newsletter, the clouds are now subsiding on the plaster dust and we were beginning to get closure on some the many tasks at hand. As all construction projects go, some unforeseen complications are bound to come up. And, we realized those issues in late November pushing our hoped for December opening to late in January 2008. We are glad that the month of November and the obstacles put in front of us are now well behind us.
The good report - At this time we are happy to say that we are down to finishing up some fire code construction activities. All of our guest room, hallway, and common room structural work is now complete. There will be a little more plaster and saw dust to live through and we are hopeful that final finishing work and painting will be done at the ringing out of this year.
Everything on the Guest side of the Blue Door is ready, including our luxury amenity selection. All of our furniture is in place. The Kitchen systems are at the ready and our special food service items are arriving. All that remains is our Photographer to come by one last time, after the remaining dust is swept away, so that we can present the photos of our rooms to you on our website.
What’s next – Well, there is still a bit more construction and painting in store over the next weeks while our necessary Fire and Heath code requirements (sprinkler systems, Fire rated doors, paperwork and inspections) are completed. Then it is off to final inspections, and approvals for our Business License.
And, we continue to be hard at work to let more folks know more about us. All the open areas of our website have been populated so that our guests can get a complete picture of what we offer. As we near the completion of our Licensing activity we will also be reaching out to many of our local business and organizations.
If you have not taken a look at our specials page yet, please do. We have created some specials that we hope will be of interest to a very wide audience of guests.
That is all that is ready for press today from the Blue Door on Baltimore. Please stay tuned to our progress and we look forward to possibly serving you as a guest in the very near future.
Your Innkeepers,
Roger and Cecelia
