- Hyatt Regency Baltimore (Baltimore, Md.; tel. 410/528-1234): If you're planning a trip to Baltimore, the Hyatt's location and its spiffy new decor make it a must. Staff here, as well as the incomparable view and the Inner Harbor location, make this more than "just a Hyatt."
- Annapolis Inn (Annapolis, Md.; tel. 410/295-5200): This sumptuous Georgian-style house was originally the home of Thomas Jefferson's physician in the 1770s. A three-course breakfast is served on fine china in the cranberry-red dining room. Selling points include Jacuzzis, a room with its own deck, and experienced, welcoming hosts.
- Tilghman Island Inn (Tilghman, Md.; tel. 800/866-2141): Waterfront rooms take full advantage of the inn's setting on Knapps Narrows on the Eastern Shore. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy, and the welcome is warm.
- Westin Annapolis (Annapolis, Md.; tel. 410/972-4300): A bit of 21st-century styling has hit this 18th-century town, and are we glad. No views to speak of (go to the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront for that), but amenities here are a delight.
- Rock Hall inns: The Inn at Osprey Point (tel. 410/639-2194) and Inn at Huntingfield Creek (tel. 410/639-7779), two of the Eastern Shore's most gracious getaway locations, are in tiny Rock Hall. Osprey Point offers rooms with a view. Huntingfield Creek is surrounded by fields with water access. Both are serene and beautifully appointed.
- Stonebow Inn (Grantsville, near Deep Creek Lake, Md.; tel. 800/272-4090): Location makes the Stonebow, a restored 1877 Victorian, a good bet. It's right on the Casselman River beside the Spruce Forest Artisan Village, a few minutes from Deep Creek Lake and as far from the hustle and bustle as you want to be.
