Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Harbor Court Hotel guests include well-heeled business and leisure travelers, celebrities, and small groups. The two-story lobby of this 1986 hotel, with marble floors, a ceiling mural, and sweeping curved wooden staircase, is a favorite meeting place.
Amenity highlights: Located on the seventh floor, a health club offers everything from aquatic aerobics in the indoor pool to racquetball to aromatherapy body polishes. Guests can unwind with a drink and cigar in the Explorer’s Lounge; tucked away in the room’s southeast corner is an alcove with sweeping views of the harbor.
Insider tip: Less than one mile south of the Harbor Court Hotel is Federal Hill, an old neighborhood that’s been rediscovered. A popular attraction is Cross Street Market, a 19th-century brick building at the corner of Cross and Light streets where produce and food stalls are open daily.
