The Ivy Hotel

I booked an overnight reservation for my husband's birthday celebration. The entire experience was unique and simply outstanding in every way! We were made to feel VERY SPECIAL by each and every staff member with whom we engaged. We were CONTINUALLY welcomed throughout the stay from the person who opened the car door and greeted us by name to the very knowledgeable concierges, the room service staff, the culinary staff, the bellman, the driver, Lottie Dottie and EVERYBODY! The hotel was very clean and beautifully adorned with pictures, books, furniture, plants and artifacts that told the story of the hotel. This includes the very accommodating bedroom with a comfortable canopy bed and a pristine, spacious and updated bathroom. One could ALWAYS count on soul-stirring music playing in the background of every public space. Each tune moved us to murmur the lyrics regardless of where we were and what we were doing. Ever had a snack attack? No worries! The room was well stocked with a variety of goodies and beverages to soothe those evening urges. And, finally, let me praise the food selections offered to us at teatime and breakfast. Homemade jam, almond butter, muffins, oat flapjacks, chicken sausage, eggs, and more! This was quite an awesome getaway! And, yes, we would do it all over again!

The Ivy was an experience, and not a stay. That is the single most important thing that sets it apart from any other hotel, resort, inn, or BNB that we've stayed with. From the moment we arrived, we felt noticed and welcome. Staff were always available for assistance but never intrusive. Everything was clean and in excellent condition. The attention to detail in this regard is notable. The room was nice, though, if I'm being honest, was less than expected for the price point. To be fair, there was nothing wrong with the room. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed, and fairly comfortable. However, it was small and a bit cramped. Calling it cozy would be a slight stretch. The bathroom, on the other hand, was very nice. Not quite luxurious, but very well appointed and spacious. The shower could qualify as a NYC bedroom. With that said, the rooms aren't the selling point of this place. It's the history and the charm that make the stay feel worth the price. You could get a bigger room in Baltimore, but you couldn't get the level attention anywhere else. We will be back.

The cleanliness, comfort, well adorned property, and, most of all, the outstanding staff and impeccable service they provided were top notch and made our stay incredibly enjoyable.

Simply outstanding! From arrival to departure, everything was 5 stars. This was our second time staying at this wonderful hotel. Staff greeted us with a friendly smile and a warm “welcome back.” The room (#16) was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. Additionally, the included amenities throughout the hotel and in our room were top shelf/first class…no one does it better! We shall definitely return. Highly recommended.

Everything about this experience was excellent! From the valet to the concierge to the check-in person, there was a warmth and sense of pride working for and on behalf of the hotel. We have traveled the world and stayed in the best hotels, but this is by far, the best experience ever.

This is an amazing property with amazing service. Beautifully restored mansion. Elegance throughout. Over the top amenities. The perfect couples getaway location.

Just spent the weekend at the Ivy. First rate experience from the check-in, with a personal tour of all the common areas, to a lovely, intimate room with everything one could need. We enjoyed a marvelous dinner at Magdalena, while the concierge services and attentiveness to our requests were top-notch. The property is charming, well cared for and an architectural gem. Will be back!

This was our 2nd stay, this time with a toddler. We loved our room and the room was already setup with baby stuff, including a playpen, changing table, baby toiletries, towel, robe and a plushie.

It's like staying in a gilded home of your own! It's like no other hotel. Service is impeccable. No nickel and dining you and the amenities are worthy of the price. this is our second time staying at The IVY.
