The Ivy: Your Private Mansion

by Organic Spa Magazine

The Ivy is a unique boutique hotel in historic Mount Vernon, a tony Baltimore neighborhood with quiet streets, quaint shops and 19th-century homes. Originally built as a private mansion 125 years ago, The Ivy is now a Relais & Chateaux that offers the intimacy of a bed and breakfast with the amenities of a five-star luxury hotel.
Beautiful—and thoughtful—touches are everywhere. Jazz Age murals adorn the walls in the Tea Room, where guests enjoy lavish, complimentary Afternoon High Tea, while sinking into plump, cushioned settees by a marble fireplace. Join friends in the living room with a drink from the well-stocked Honor Bar. Savor a delicious meal with craft cocktails at Magdalena, or dine outdoors on the charming terrace, where an opulent breakfast is included with the room. Bathrooms feature heated limestone floors, deep soaking tubs and luxurious showers. And The Spa at The Ivy, a polished jewel overlooking the hotel’s leafy courtyard, is a perfect respite where travelers can enjoy a cup of tea and a multilayered spa treatment, like the Urban Zen.
In fact, The Ivy is such a relaxing and romantic oasis, you may never want to step outside. But if you do, you’ll get to see how the city of Baltimore has taken steps to implement green initiatives, from planting trees to expanding urban gardens. As a fellow guest was heard to say: “F. Scott Fitzgerald would feel right at home here.” And so will you. theivybaltimore.com
