Hilton Baltimore’s unique location and modern amenities hit a home run with business and leisure travelers as well as the first registered guest.

The highly anticipated Hilton Baltimore, a brand new hotel located in Baltimore, Maryland’s exciting Inner Harbor area, opened today at an official ceremony with registration of the hotel’s first guest, Babe Ruth’s daughter Julia Ruth Stevens. General Manager Linda Norman welcomed Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon and special guests, the Honorable Martin O’Malley, Governor of the State of Maryland along with invited guests from Baltimore Hotel Corporation, Baltimore Development Corporation and Hilton Hotels Corporation for the official ribbon cutting ceremony.

“The decision to move forward with this hotel represents one of the crucial moments in our history - when we had the courage to pursue what we might become. Baltimore is already becoming a more desirable destination for tourists and conventions, a city that offers more quality jobs and more affordable housing and a place that promises a brighter future for everyone who lives, works and plays here.” said Mayor Dixon.

M. J. “Jay” Brodie, President of the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC) and Chairman of the Baltimore Hotel Corporation stated, “The opening of the Hilton Baltimore Convention Center Hotel is the successful achievement of a major BDC initiative that began in 2003.

This will be an attraction admired and enjoyed by all city residents for many years to come.”
