We always stay at the Hotel Monaco (Kimpton) because they have bunk bed suites (two rooms-- one with bunk beds, the other with two queens) and you can get an xbox in the room. Plus free happy hour wine for adults (not sure if that is happening in covid).

I'm not a fan of any of the big hotels near the Harbour - that whole area is dead right now. Many of the shops and chain restaurants have gone out of business. Fells Point (where the Sagamore is located) is a better choice and far more charming, but those prices are nuts. It is a beautiful hotel, though. Hotel Revival by the Walter in Mt Vernon is a smaller, recently redone hotel in an old historic building with a lot of style and charm. Also, the Ivy Hotel - on E Biddle - is beautiful.

Four Seasons or the Baltimore Pendry

As to meals, we would get takeout from Little Italy and/or Phillips and eat at the hotel. I remember a great cannoli place in Little Italy as well. Any other recommendations? Popular restaurants, I hope, have not closed and offer takeout like in DC?

Is the aquarium or science center even open?

Phillips’s is beyond nasty.

You have bad taste in food.

Are indoor hotel pools open these days?

I think the science center is in great shape. My kids loved it at all ages.

Royal Sonesta is reasonable and has a fine indoor pool. Also it’s directly opposite the Science Center. Groupon family membership is a great value.

Avam, Walters art gallery and R house! And definitely science center.

And yeah during the winter you can get into the aquarium cheaper after 5 on Friday. With kids that age I’d just go to the Science center though

Science center is cheap either and is kind of run down.

Meant isn’t cheap....
