尤利西斯(Ulysses)

Fit for moles and bats! This hotel is so dark that it’s comical. There were no lights except very dim bedside sconces. I was bumping into the furniture after dark and literally had to turn in the TV before getting into bed so I would not trip over something. I am sure I left an errant sock in a corner but who knows if housekeeping will ever discover it. Also no coffee available before 9 am on day Saturday so this is an automatic non-starter for me. However, the bars looked nice. Next time I will come by for a drink and stay elsewhere. I’m sure they do a great job of keeping the electric bill low!!

Ah, Baltimore, a city of rich history and eclectic charm. My wife and I recently had the pleasure of a stay at the Hotel Ulysses, a luxurious retreat nestled in the heart of this vibrant city. True to the reputation of the New York-based design firm, Ash, the Ulysses is nothing short of an architectural marvel. The first thing that catches your eye? The hotel's impeccable aesthetic. It's a masterful blend of old-world charm and modern design, encapsulating the very essence of Baltimore's diverse character. While the rooms might have been a tad on the cozier side, they more than made up for it with their plush comfort and attention to detail. The Ulysses truly exemplifies the notion that beauty lies in the details, and the meticulousness with which they've curated every aspect of the guest experience speaks volumes. The 19th-century charm of the Mount Vernon neighborhood is beautifully echoed within the Ulysses. The delicate stained-glass skylight, the ornate crown molding, and the preserved brass postal box serve as a testament to the building's rich history. But it's not all vintage here. The interiors seamlessly transition from the ornate influences of the Art Nouveau era to a more streamlined approach, evident in the hickory wood furniture adorned with Ash’s custom textiles. And oh, those hand-beaded lampshades and embroidered quilts! They added the perfect splash of color and quirk. A special shout-out to the carved flamingos that support the bedside tables, a delightful nod to Baltimore's own John Waters and his "Pink Flamingos." It's this mix of opulence and eccentricity that makes the Ulysses stand out. Booking through Trip.com was a new experience for us. A bit unconventional, sure, but it came through in the clutch. The $35 "destination fee" threw us for a loop initially, but the $20 credit we received towards our bill at the hotel restaurant (Ash Bar) or the bar (Blooms) made it all worth it. Speaking of Blooms, what an experience! The mirrored ceiling, the crimson banquettes, and the purple stools set the stage for a night to remember. In a nutshell? The Hotel Ulysses is a triumph, an ode to Baltimore's multifaceted spirit. Whether you're here for the history, the design, or the sheer experience, the Ulysses promises and delivers. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great charming hotel excellent neighborhood with very good jazz band in the downstairs Ash bar( every Tuesday night!) Excellent cappuccino in downstairs restaurant too!

The staff here is amazing, the rooms are quaint but incredibly cozy. The restaurant and bar(s) downstairs are wonderful. My biggest issue is water pressure. The shower felt like it was less than half on at all times.

Had a great short stay. The staff is super friendly (though on check-out day be prepared for housekeeping to ignore the 'do not disturb' and knock 3 or more times starting at 8am). The rooms are small, very tight, but the design and comfort is great. The bed was comfortable and the shower had excellent pressure and temperature. I'm always a little weird about places that have the sink in a different room then the toilet, but that's just me. We loved the color scheme and design. A lot of people state how the hotel is really low lit, and it is, but I didn't think it was an issue because I wasn't there to spend time in the hotel.

Cozy rooms that were clean and good looking. The entire hotel is dark by design. Bed was one of the most comfortable ones I’ve ever slept in outside of my home! The front desk staff was so kind and normal - not too stuffy, but completely welcoming. It was a nice way to start the visit. There is NO parking — valet or otherwise. All on the street.

The hotel is gorgeous and unique in a walkable location in central Baltimore. The interiors are quirky and transport you to another time. The service is great and it seemed like there are a couple of really nice bar/restaurant options on-site. Downside is the room was tiny and there was a lot of noise outside (music, nothing bad) until 2am, which could be heard even from the 7th floor. Overall, loved our stay.

I could tell the rooms were small by the photos, but I had no idea that I was renting a tiny room for the price I paid. You could not use the restroom without having to move the door to go from the sink to the shower. They have a very early checkout time which they are strict about and everything is completely outdated.
