Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore
A detailed photo tour and review for Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Hotel. During a recent trip to Baltimore, we chose to stay at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Hotel. This hotel has always been a Baltimore landmark for upscale family travel and it's still maintaining this image today. Located just a short ride to Cruise Maryland at the Port of Baltimore, it's perfect for a pre- or post-cruise stay. From the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court, you can easily walk to most of the main attractions Baltimore has to offer. The Science Center is just a few steps away across the street and then walk a bit further the other direction, and you'll find yourself by the National Aquarium, great shopping and restaurants.

Harborview Premier Suite
Or upscale to the suite life! We had a Harborview Premier Suite and it was perfect. The suites are great for families who need a bit more space. With two large bay windows overlooking the Baltimore harbor, the views are spectacular.

Best seat in town!

This suite has lots of drawer and closet space, a large bar top with refrigerator (we always have leftovers!) and a sofa bed. There is even plenty of room to have a roll-away brought in if needed.

And the bathroom, SERIOUSLY, the bathroom, is amazing. Double sinks, a huge soaking tub, marble stand up shower, luxurious bath products and a huge lighted mirror...with a television in it. Yes, a TV is hidden and illuminates in the center of the mirror.

Dining
Explorers is the intimate restaurant and lounge on the second floor of the Harbor Court Hotel. The food was delicious. We tried a few signature items from the menu, as well from the extensive wine and cocktails list.

|
They have lots of choices in all portions and price ranges. The kid's menu is terrific, too. (To note, these menus have recently changed from our visit in 2017. I think that means it's time to get back!)

A sampling of the menu choices.
Honey Chicken Wings. One of their house specialities, they are spicy, sweet, and amazing!
|
Blackened Chilean Sea Bass over Sun-Dried Tomato Risotto. It was the chef's special.
|
Signature Hamburger,
caramelized onions, honey bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
|
Delicious Maryland crabcakes!
|
You'll also find a small coffee bar and shop on the first floor where they serve sandwiches, salads and pastries, all prepared to go. They also have a terrific selection of drinks and coffees. If you don’t want to eat on the run or in your room, there is plenty of seating and even an overhead television for entertainment.
