ANNAPOLIS BED AND BREAKFAST ASSOCIATION

The Bed and Breakfast Association lists a large number of independent homes and small inns that feature unique accommodations, personal service, and complete breakfasts. A B&B in Annapolis is ideal for travelers that enjoy personal service and historic lodgings in an intimate setting. One highly rated and quaint B&B is the Chez Amis Bed and Breakfast on 85 East Street is a short walk to City Dock. Other popular B& B’s are the Harbor View Inn, at 1 St. Mary’s Street, the William Page Inn, at 8 Martin Street, and the Georgian House, at 170 Duke of Gloucester Street. For those wanting to be right near the marina, the Eastport location of The Inn at Horn Point, 100 Chesapeake Ave, is an ideal spot.

We really have to recommend the Annapolitan B&B because each room is decorated differently with Annapolis-inspired décor. The flexibility is also great because they can accommodate cocktail or tailgate parties, reunions or business meetings in private event spaces.

SPECIALTY LODGING

The Schooner Windward, at 80 Compromise Street, needs its own category because it is the only boat and breakfast in Annapolis. It features a delightful evening cruise where the captain allows passengers to take turns at the helm.
