Downtown hotels in Baltimore commonly tack "Inner Harbor" on to their names, though they are all walking distance to the harbor but not actually in it. This guide to Inner Harbor hotels defines Inner Harbor as within two blocks of the water. But if you want waterfront hotels at more of a bargain price, check out this guide to Fells Point and Harbor East hotels.
