Standard Room - These guestrooms offer one king-size bed or two double beds and accommodate a maximum of four guests. Some rooms have a small Juliet balcony with French doors, overlooking either First Street or the pool area.

Amenity highlights: Heated indoor, children?s, and outdoor (seasonal) pools, and a well-equipped workout center provide options for relaxing and rejuvenating. A hearty serving of Chesapeake Benedict (eggs with a petite Maryland crab cake) or a veggie skillet are among the options from the breakfast buffet.

Insider tip: Perhaps the best souvenir to take home is a Shuman?s Bakery jelly cake?pound cake filled with red currant jelly and dusted with powdered sugar?a tradition for 100 years. It is available for purchase 1 mile from the hotel. Walking options abound in and around the hotel and in Old Town. For those who want a little more oomph in their workout, the hotel?s fitness center offers free weights, treadmills, stair climbers, and lifecycles. In the summer, guests can also use the rooftop pool at the Radisson Hotel Old Town 2 blocks east, which offers a view of the Potomac River.
