With any older building that has seen some restoration, that work is never complete. Over the past 2 months we have added crown molding back to the parlor and hung new doors between the Parlor and Dining Room putting the rooms back their formal setting of the early 1900’s. We have aslo been designated as an Authentic Baltimore Site representing the historcial heritage of Baltimore.

 For today’s travelers we have kept pace as well. We have added new alram clock systems that will allow you to plug in your iPod or iPhone music to your room.  The library has also been transformed with new media stands to better display things to do in Baltimore. And as ususal there are little things we continue to add to the Blue Door experience: different recipies, new decorating, and amenities.

 There are also some new places to find us in print. We will be in the Baltimore Ravens Yearbook this year. We can be found in the Mid-Atlantic Battlefield guide. And we have additional web presence in Baltimore Sports and the Authentic Baltimore Travel websites.

We look forward to serving on your next trip to Baltimore.

 We are offering two specials for the upcoming spring and summer months. Check out our Nevermore Poe Celebration promotion and our Tanks ALOT promotion to improve your summer traveling carbon footprint.

 Speaking of carbon footprints we are now purchasing wind power for our electric service. We continue to be sensitive to our bay and surrounding area.

July brought us new visitors and  new experiences. With those visits we are seeing an increased number of entries in our in-room guest journals. The entries are a delight for us to read and have provided for some interesting topics for breakfast conversation. Our guests are also appreciating the unique descriptions from previous visitors for activity suggestions for their stay. We have also begun to collect a number of  frequently asked questions.

Both of these interactions have prompted us to re-work a part of our website to help our guests in planning stays at the Blue Door on Baltimore. Check out our new Trip Planner Link. Take a peek at http://bluedoorbaltimore.com/site/eventsactivities.

Our most frequently asked questions revolve around distances to various locations around Baltimore. Our Trip Planner has a link to Distance Locations to help answer those questions.  Our guest adventures have been added to our Baltimore Adventure link. We have organized them  into a 3-day intineray. There are several options suggested  for each day, organized to help you get the most out of your Baltimore visit.

We hope you like the addition to our site and find it useful.
