When your team qualifies for the National Skeeball Championships in Baltimore, Maryland you have to go! It’s truly a once in a lifetime experience! Group travel can be a challenge, but finding a conveniently located hotel is the key to a successful trip. You should definitely add Baltimore to your summer bucket list and explore all of the fine attractions and food this city has to offer.
A view of the beautiful city of Baltimore.
Where to Stay in Baltimore!
The new Radisson Baltimore Downtown – Inner Harbor is located in the heart of downtown, providing easy access to Baltimore’s best sites. The hotel is modern and contemporary with several amazing amenities. Staying in a hotel that is within walking distance to everything you want to see and do makes for a much easier trip. Especially when traveling with a large group who would require at least two cabs to get anywhere!
The Lobby of the new Radisson Baltimore Inner Harbor.
The hotel has a fantastic outdoor rooftop pool (an essential for any leisure hotel!), free wifi, a business center, and a 24 hour fitness center (to make up for all of the eating you’re going to do there!). The rooms are also crisp, spacious, and modern, with fabulous views.

The Radisson is also so modern they are offering the very convenient Radisson iConcierge app to allow guests to manage their time at the hotel before, during, and after their stay. The app allows guests to order room service right from their cell phone!
And while you’ll probably be tempted to grab some crab legs or crab cakes off site, you probably want to check out the Radisson’s restaurant Balto, which is currently offering a complimentary breakfast to hotel guests!
A must have foodie delight when visiting the city of Baltimore!
What to Do in Baltimore!
When you’re traveling for a competitive team sport, like skeeball, you probably don’t have as much leisure time as you would like to explore a city like Baltimore. There are many great attractions in this city including the National Aquarium, the Harbor, Oriole Park, and Royal Farms Arena. I knew I wouldn’t have much time and have a true love for fish, so the Baltimore Aquarium was number one on my list! Baltimore is the perfect city for a summer getaway to catch a ball game, explore the aquarium, and wander the harbor. See details below for your chance to to win a free stay!!
The National Aquarium in Baltimore!
Octopus, one of my favorite foods, but also one of the world’s most intelligent and interesting creatures!
When your whole team could fit inside the mouth of a predator.
Hands on jellyfish exhibit!
Baltimore looks so resplendent in your featured image and I would love to get my hands on to some jelly fish too 🙂
Wow, Baltimore does look amazing in that city-scape at the top of the post. I would love to visit some day. I’m a veggie so I won’t be trying any crab but the aquarium looks interesting. What on earth has jaws as big as that?!
Fortunately those are prehistoric jaws. Haha None of that scary stuff left today. Thanks for entering the giveaway!
I didn’t know there was a National Skeeball Championship. That’s awesome! We love the National Aquarium. Can’t wait to o back. Those rooms at the new Radisson look pretty sweet.
Haha, I know, right? National skeeball…unfortunately our team didn’t win it all. Maybe next year. Thanks for entering the giveaway!
I was just in Baltimore a couple months ago. I didn’t get to stay at such a beautiful hotel but I did get to try the best chicken and waffles at Miss Shirley’s Cafe. Oh man I still cave it once in a while. I think it’s about time to go for another visit!
I love chicken and waffles. And crab. Haha So many good food options there. Thanks for entering the giveaway!
I would love to wander around the harbor and stop to indulge in some seafood and Baltimore style bloody marys! Baltimore sounds delish!
Oooh, sounds good! I haven’t had a bloody mary in ages.

Wi-fi is my favorite amenity!
When I was in the DR the taxi from the airport had wifi, I was in heaven. Especially as a travel blogger I love having working wifi when I travel! Thanks for entering the contest!
From everything I’d ever heard of Baltimore, I expected that the city would be rundown and unattractive. Quite the opposite! Especially around the harbor, Baltimore is actually quite beautiful. And your pictures would make anyone want to visit!
Yeah, if you’ve seen The Wire, you might not have expected this. The Harbor area is really lovely. Thanks for entering the contest!
It’s all about the fitness suite for me. Spending serious time on the road is good for the mind but not the physique.
You are too good. I walked by the fitness center at my hotel today and thought to myself, def won’t make it there. haha I Should try though. Thanks for entering the giveaway!
I love going to hotels that have amazing spas or pools.
Me too!! I’m in Barbados now and since my travel buddy bailed I couldn’t afford spa treatments so I brought a lush ball for each day! The Radisson rooftop pool looks fab. Thanks for entering the contest!
My favorite amenity would be that pets are allowed! Love bringing my pup with me when I travel.
This seems to be a common favorite. Hotels should take note!! Thanks for entering the contest!

Baltimore looks amazing! I’ve always wanted to visit the national aquarium. As far as hotel amenities, it’s kmportsnt to have fast internet and a pool to unwind after a busy day.
I love aquariums! And that ine looks amazing! I have never been to Baltimore, but I have family there and maybe will plan a trip now!
It’s a toss up between the pool and wifi. It is important I stay connected for work purposes, but i do love relaxing in a pool. Thanks for sharing. I am seriously considering Baltimore for a weekend getaway.
Where’s the pic of the outdoor rooftop pool? Sounded nice and was looking for the pic.
Baltimore looks like a fun city indeed.

My favorite amenity would definitely be a pool or hot tub. I love to workout, but not in a traditional gym. Pools are my favorite way to get my exercise in.
baltimore looks beautiful- I’ve never been outside the airport unfortunately. and skeeball championships sound so cool!
Congrats on making it to the National Championships! Great recommendation re the Radisson – we haven’t made it to Baltimore yet, but love staying in Radisson hotels – they’re always so modern and conveniently located. You had me on this one at rooftop pool and free WiFi :D! Hopefully I’ll have the chance to visit Baltimore soon 🙂
I love that pets are allowed. We often travel with my brother and sister in law and it’s so hard because they often can’t stay long because they’re worried about their pup!
Looks like an amazing hotel. I am not at all familiar with Skeeball though….what is it? The city looks amazing though. I got close to Baltimore on a trips a few years back but didn’t end up with enough time to explore.
I have to admit i had to google what is Skeeball , thought it was some kind of sport:)
The pool is always my favorite hotel amenity!
I love that pets are allowed! My favorite amenity!
Ooo I’ve been to Baltimore! It was only for a short day though. I’ll remember to check back on this post if I’m ever planning on going again!
Man, Radisson is doing some great promotions lately because I can’t stop hearing about it! BY THE WAY – that pile of crabs just calls to me!!! @_@
This looks like a great Radisson. I’d have to say the pool and pets being allowed are my favorite amenities.
The hotel looks beautiful. I like that its location is central to all the fun stuff around Baltimore 🙂
Not sure if my first comment went through….
I like the high speed internet! My Fiance needs it to use for work when out of town. I love their hotels! We have to travel a lot to see family since we live out of state. This would help! My sisters wedding is in July.
As a Poe addict, I’d love to wander the streets of Baltimore some day. I just love that capture of the cityscape! And those crab legs must have been delicious!
I love the Raddison, and the iConcierge app sounds like a heaven send. Also great tip with Balto’s complimentary breakfast!
Very informative post.
My favorite amenity would be the coffeemaker. I’ve got to have coffee as soon as I wake. I also like that you can
reserve a refrigerator to store beverages and snacks.
I love that the hotel is pet friendly!! I bring my diff everywhere with me at home so I’d love to be able to take her on a trip too

The rooftop pool looks pretty fab. I also love wifi, and when there is a bar at the hotel so I can have a drink and not have to go far to get to bed!
I’m a sucker for room service breakfast in bed at hotels! It just feels like such a luxury. Looks like s great stay!
The rooftop swimming pool looks amazing and I have never been to Baltimore!
I like that they have high speed internet. Also it’s great that it’s just a 10 minute drive to Penn Station. When visiting Baltimore , I’d also like to visit D.C.

My favorite amenity listed is, “Pets Allowed”! That makes a difference for me for sure when I’m traveling with my French Bulldog/Beagle pup, Hank!
Who knew Baltimore was so cool?!? This hotel looks very nice and I’m a big fan of the rooftop pool.
Thanks for this thoughtful review! 🙂
My favorite amenity is definitely the pool! I don’t get enough swim time since moving to the Pacific Northwest, so pools are very exciting to me!
I love Baltimore!! It’s my favorite place to go visit. I can’t just pick one amenity as I love how you can bring along your furry friend. As my golden retriever go everywhere with me. An also the pool. As I love swimming. And the breakfast and last but not least the spacious rooms. I like to have a good amount of moving around distance in the room and not to feel like I’m right on top of the other person space. Baltimore is just stunning!!
I love the Idea of the rooftop pool overlooking Baltimore! So many amazing amenities… hard to pick a favorite!
I love that there is a rooftop pool and high speed internet. The fact that they have an iconcierge app sounds amazing too.
I love that they are pet friendly! As a dog owner it can be hard to travel sometimes!
I love that they allow pets, my pup goes everywhere with me and location couldn’t be better.
Honestly, I’m all about the pool. It’s a great place to spend time and relax. I also like the idea of the 24 hr grab and go menu. It makes it pretty convenient for whatever plans come up throughout your day.
I love internet when in hotels. I love relaxing at the end of the day with a good movie.
I love relaxing with a good movie after long days of exploring. So good internet is a must.

This is easy – would have to say outdoor rooftop pool. Doesn’t get much better than that!
The concierge app is the coolest amenity that i would love to use! Room service from my phone. Yes please! I always have time for that.
My favorite hotel amenity is the Outdoor rooftop pool , thank you for the chance to win!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve stayed at the Radisson. After reading your post, I think I’m gonna have look into more Radisson hotels. Plus, I love hotels with complimentary breakfast!

My favorite would be the roof top pool. Also that they are pet friendly. Being a military family it is very important that we find a nice hotel that our pets are allowed.
Is it so crazy that I just love wifi?! I personally go through 30gigs of data per month, so anyplace that has wifi is SOLD in my book. I love being able to be on vacation but to still stay connected and get some work done if I have to! Crossing fingers!
My favorite amenity would be the pool 🙂
I love how they welcome pets! I’d love to bring my dog 🙂
Love the blog! The best amenity is definitely being pet friendly. We love taking our dog on trips with us.
Rooftop pool!
My favorite amenity is the pool! Nothing better than relaxing in the pool after a stressful work week. Love this!
Holy smokes that’s a lot of crab… I’d go to Baltimore just for that! I LOVE the first photo by the way! What camera do you use?
Hi Ginger! I absolutely love the look of the rooftop pool!
Such a great retreat above the city!
Outdoor rooftop pool
What a fantastic opportunity! This place looks so lush ^^
I love that it is dog friendly up to 50lb
Pets Allowed! I Love to bring my dog with me when I travel.

The octopus………… XD
I often heard of Baltimore city but haven’t got a chance to visit there. Looks like a great place to explore. Oh yaa…I love the rooftop pool!
I like the room service & high speed internet.
That outdoor rooftop pool sounds like my cup of tea! Would love to visit and learn more about their green commitments – it is important that more places start to think more green in their practices and the services they offer to guests!
Wow! Love that this hotel is right on the harbor! Gorgeous location, gorgeous hotel! Thank you for the chance!
Great post! I am in love with Baltimore now! And this hotel looks gorgeous!! Loved that poool:)

I LOVE the Outdoor Rooftop Pool! How Cool is that?!
That rooftop pool looks like an escape to tranquility…Beautiful!!
Like the rooftop pool
I love the rooftop pool!
I love a good swimming pool, even if I’m only staying at a hotel for one night I always try to get a quick swim in their pool. It just helps to make the hotel stay feel even more luxurious and worthwhile to me. And with the Radisson Baltimore’s rooftop pool I think I’d be indulging in a lot longer than a quick swim. It looks amazing!!!
The delicious food of course <3 <3 <3!!!!! Thank you so so so very much for this kind and generous opportunity!
I love Baltimore! Its one of my fav cities! I can’t wait to go back and explore more as so many films have been filmed here!
