Company info

Opened as a B&B in 2010, the inn is the former home of a prominent Baltimore brick baron and his family. Through its 230+ years it was a private home, funeral home and a small commune. Rachael's Dowry is on the National Registry of Historic Places, has been awarded several preservation accolades, and still hosts tours for history buffs throughout the year. Perfect for small weddings or reunions, the inn is privately owned and managed by Linda, a former high tech executive who loves travel, cooking and people. You'll be treated to gourmet breakfasts, comfortable rooms and amenities, and the luxury treatment of a boutique hotel.

Property info

Rachael's Dowry is an historic Baltimore bed and breakfast in the beautiful Ridgely's Delight neighborhood and an ideal alternative to your typical hotel lodging. It's a peaceful, clean, comfortable oasis right next to many of Baltimore's favorite attractions and its burgeoning culinary and art scenes. Rachael's is a very short stroll to the Inner Harbor, the Convention Center, the Orioles' and Ravens' stadiums, and the University of Maryland's Medical School.
