Holiday Inn Inner Harbor Completes Multi-Million Dollar Renovation, Debuts Pappas Sports Bar

5/17/17

Holiday Inn Inner Harbor has announced the completion of a multi-million dollar renovation of the hotel, located in the heart of downtown at 301 W. Lombard Street, with the addition of the Pappas Sports Bar, a new restaurant and lounge offering award-winning crab cakes.

“For decades, this iconic hotel has graced the Baltimore skyline, and welcomed hundreds of thousands of guests. The renovations are extensive – it looks and feels like a brand new property and we couldn’t be happier,” said Adam Novotny, General Manager of the Holiday Inn Inner Harbor. “We know our guests and meeting attendees will appreciate a higher level of comfort and exceptional service delivered by our outstanding team.”

The hotel’s reimagined design includes upgrades to all 365 rooms and brand new common areas including the lobby, restaurant, lounge, coffee and gift shop serving Baltimore’s own Zeke’s Coffee, business center, indoor pool, and event space, including the 4,000 sq. ft. Chesapeake Ballroom.

Upon entrance to the hotel, guests will find a new reception area featuring elegant furnishings, warm colors and Baltimore-themed artwork. Adjacent to the reception area is a new, open-concept business center. Meeting space throughout the hotel features new carpet, wall coverings, artwork and lighting fixtures. The hotel’s indoor pool, one of the city’s largest, also features new deck furniture.

Renovations to the guest rooms include new carpeting, window treatments, soft seating, desk chairs, artwork and lighting. Each guest room features a personal Keurig brewing system.

As part of the extensive renovations, the Holiday Inn Inner Harbor introduces Baltimore’s legendary Pappas Sports Bar, offering Pappas’ world-renowned crab cakes – featured on Oprah’s 2015 Favorite Things list. The restaurant and lounge feature a wide-variety of appetizers and entrees – from premium burgers, salads and pastas to fresh seafood and steaks – for lunch and dinner daily. The upgraded space offers a simplified, fresh appearance and a revised floor plan in order to optimize viewpoints, improve flexibility in seating capacity and achieve a more cohesive approach.

“When people think of Baltimore, they think of crab cakes, and there is none better than Pappas,” said Novotny.
