Baltimore as meeting destination soon will compete with 85 percent of market
With several new hotels slated to open in the near future, Baltimore says it now can compete for up to 85 percent of all convention business.
“Baltimore currently boasts approximately 8,500 hotel rooms in the downtown area, most of which are within walking distance to the modern Baltimore Convention Center and all major downtown attractions,” says the CVB.
The Baltimore Convention Center houses Maryland’s largest ballroom with 50 meeting rooms.
Other meeting planner selling points:
—The Baltimore Convention Center is only eight miles from the airport and located conveniently between Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Oriole Park (off of interstates 83 and 295). It is easily accessible by car or a light rail system with major hotels, shopping and tourist attractions all within walking distance.
—The Baltimore Convention Center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as a high speed telecommunications network connected to floor boxes and outlets in the meeting rooms. Exhibit halls have covered loading docks and easy direct drive access.
—Culinary food service is provided by the world-renowned Centerplate.
