Hotel to Open In Baltimore Penn Station

[bmorechris]

From the Baltimore Sun, Amtrak is going to lease the top 3 floors of Baltimore Penn Station to a hotel developer.

"Under a plan endorsed by the Maryland Historical Trust, the hotel rooms will line the station's perimeter and will be reached from corridors overlooking the main concourse below."

Also, article mentions that Amtrak owns property north of the station (I believe the parking lot south of Lanvale St) that the city would like to have developed and connected to the station.

I guess the offer by the Maryland Hysterical Trust to turn it into a comedy venue failed, then?

Thanks for posting this article. I live about an hour from the station and am in and out of there fairly regularily and am pleased to see plans in the works to upgrade it. It is great example of the grand stations from the "golden age".

The question is will they try to gain any brand affiliation in this process. Having worked for an independent hotel before, it's very challenging to book business if you don't have a flag of some sort.
