BALTIMORE
Pendry Hotels announced the grand opening of Sagamore Pendry Baltimore in the city's historic Fell's Point neighborhood. A new luxury hospitality brand from Montage International, Pendry is a collection of new luxury hotels that combines inspired design and authentic service tailored to world travelers.
Sagamore Pendry Baltimore features 128 luxury guest rooms, food and beverage concepts by renowned chef Andrew Carmellini of NoHo Hospitality Group opening to the public March 25, private meeting and event spaces, an outdoor pool and a vibrant lobby lounge, among its other standard amenities.
Sagamore Pendry Baltimore was developed in collaboration between Montage International and Sagamore Development Company, owned by Kevin Plank, founder, chairman and CEO of Under Armour.
"We are thrilled to open our second Pendry hotel, and first east coast location for the brand in Baltimore with our partners, Kevin Plankand Sagamore Development Company," said Alan J. Fuerstman, founder, chairman and CEO, Montage International. "While paying homage to the property's rich heritage, Sagamore Pendry Baltimore brings new [and innovative] design and culinary offerings to Fell's Point.”
Designed by renowned Baltimore interior designer Patrick Sutton, Sagamore Pendry Baltimore sits atop Recreation Pier, once one of the country's busiest points of entry. The pier's extensive renovation has honored the historical essence of the property and restored it to its former glory. The hotel embodies the city's vibrant personality and idyllic harbor setting with character, inspiration and style. Even the guest rooms and suites have been designed to evoke the feeling of being in a captain's berth on a ship.
The history of Baltimore is woven into the hotel. The Star Spangled Banner was written nearby the hotel site, and the design embraces that historic event by including a wall dedicated to the lyrics upon entry.
The Sagamore Pendry Baltimore features a restored 4,565-square-foot Grand Ballroom, with 35-foot ceilings, restored to its original 1914 aesthetic using state-of-the-art conservation techniques. Ascend the two-story grand staircase to the ballroom foyer and guests will see large murals depicting the war of 1812 and the British bombardment of Fort McHenry from which the National Anthem was born.
Sagamore Pendry Baltimore is also home to two prominent food and beverage concepts. The Rec Pier Chop House—a prime Italian Chop House overlooking Thames Street—is devoted to time-honored Italian cooking. The Cannon Room, an American whiskey bar, derives its name from the mighty cannons that lived beneath Recreation Pier for centuries. An 18th-century cannon unearthed during the pier reconstruction is permanently on display within the space. The setting houses an intimate bar and fireplace.
