Hotel History
On the Waterfront: 100 Years and Counting
It's amazing the difference a century makes. In 1900, to stay in the building that is now Baltimore's Admiral Fell Inn, guests had to be deloused. But that was a better alternative to being shanghaied. Travelers were grateful to stay in one of the 28 rooms. The building was a safe haven for merchant seamen coming into the bustling port of Fell's Point, which at the turn of the 20th century was a rough waterfront neighborhood filled with warehouses, saloons, and brothels.
The central building of The Admiral Fell Inn was opened on 3rd December 1900. The property, then known as The Anchorage, was built by the Port Mission Women's Auxiliary as a place "to maintain under Christian influence a boarding house for seamen, a home away from home, a social and recreational center where the seafarer might find a safe refuge while in port."
The Port Mission encouraged seamen to join a church and stay in the safe boarding house, which first started in a smaller location and moved to the corner of South Broadway and Thames Street to accommodate more sailors. As more space was needed, the buildings beside The Anchorage were connected to it.
In 1985, after a total renovation, the original Anchorage buildings were re-opened as The Admiral Fell Inn, a bed-and-breakfast inn with 40 rooms. In 1996, the Inn finished an expansion into adjoining buildings for a total of 80 rooms and a new rooftop meeting and banquet facility. The Inn's respect to the building's original architecture, historic integrity, and ambience gained it a charter membership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Historic Hotels of America program.
In 2003, guests to The Admiral Fell Inn have a significantly different experience than their century-past predecessors. The Inn is designed as an intimate environment, complemented by total attention to service, to create an aura of comfortable elegance, ideal for the traveling businessperson as well as the vacationing couple. |
