$600 for two nights is bullshit when you consider that there's no included breakfast and no included parking. There's one single vending machine in the whole building up on floor 7 (I had to ask) and it had a few drinks and snacks but nothing I found to be good, all spicy chips. We went for breakfast both mornings and it's ridiculous how expensive it is, one tiny meal is anywhere from $14-25 without a drink besides one meal. Service is horrible in the restaurant too but they're probably not paid enough to care. This hotel boasts about being a high end hotel but it's absolutely not. Every door and wall has what I like to call "landlord painting" where they messily paint the door and everything else on the door that doesn't need paint, or whatever else they're painting, it's very cheaply done like they handed a guy $5 and said go paint this room. We did have a great view but that's about all the room had going for it. Mini fridge was warm, toilet is so close to the shower you almost gotta have one leg in the tub just to use it, TV sorta worked but had broken spots on the screen and kept cutting out, soap was half full. Staff at the front desk were friendly, the only good part really besides the view but they can't help you with parking cause it's through a different service I guess, you get charged if you leave and come back to the garage unless you tell the front desk and they like put your license plate in their system. Good thing is your walking distance from the convention center, the aquarium, the bay, lots of little shops, it was 5min to the convention center and 11min to the aquarium so that was the reason we booked it. If you can though I would avoid this hotel. Oh and if you pay with debit card be prepared to get charged a $200 hold for using debit that you won't get back for like a week after you've checked out.

My wife and I have stayed at the Royal sonesta harbor Court two times in the last 2 years. Most recently being May 2nd 2026. It's a beautiful hotel with some nice amenities. The rooms are clean and spacious. If you are looking to go to the Inner harbor of Baltimore, this location cannot be beat. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend the Royal sonesta harbor Court!

The hotel hosted my daughters wedding rehearsal dinner . We had a lot of family / friends staying 2-3 nights, many from the U.K. First the event manager, Yasmine is an outstanding professional . Great communication and she and the team more than delivered what was promised on the night. Our guests found the hotel staff always available and accommodating . A decent Gastropub , small cafe for a coffee, reasonable prices. I stayed at The Pendry in Fells a few months ago, and would pick the Royal Sonnesta for any future stay.

We recently celebrated my birthday weekend at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure the entire weekend felt special, seamless, and unforgettable. A very special thank‑you to our concierge, Tonya Faulkner, whose warmth, professionalism, and personal touch truly elevated our stay. Her hospitality set the tone for my birthday. I also want to recognize the check‑in staff and valets, who greeted us with kindness and efficiency. They made the arrival process smooth and welcoming, and their positive energy added to the celebratory atmosphere. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located—but it’s the people who made this experience exceptional. Thanks to the entire Royal Sonesta team for helping make my birthday weekend absolutely fabulous. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this hotel to friends and family.

I am so impressed with this hotel mainly because of its staff Kevin in the Explorer Cafe and Adrianne and Danielle in the Formula Expresso are such sweet, professional and engaging souls. They made me laugh, feel welcome, and feel like family. My stay here was amazing and I look forward to visiting again and often.
