"Just outside the hotel’s doors you’ll discover Mount Vernon, packed with some of Baltimore’s most important and breathtaking landmarks such as Mount Vernon Place and the Washington Monument, which is arguably older than its Washington D.C. counterpart. The latest boutique hotel to join the neighborhood is Ulysses from the chic Ash NYC group, featuring heritage-steeped design including multiple references to one of the city’s most iconic residents, John Waters. Newly opened and named for a ship that brought immigrants to Baltimore around the turn of the century and the famous novel (which turned 100 earlier this year), the property promises “strong drinks and soft beds.”"
