There were no windows left in the building, and there were some holes. Where the fireplace is now you could stand there and get a suntan through the roof. Widman and his partner expanded the inn into eight adjoining vintage buildings, though you can't tell from the street. The buildings' exteriors were restored but not remodeled. Noted as one of the best restaurants in Baltimore, possibly THE best, Savannah is definitely worth a visit.
Reservations are essential.
The hotel's neighborhood, Fell's Point, gets its name from William Fell, who in 1745 owned 1,100 acres of land and a small shipyard outside the town of Baltimore. William's son Edward laid out the new village of Fell's Point in 1763, and Baltimore annexed the village in 1781. Over the next two centuries, Fell's Point retained its modest character and sense of history. The neighborhood still has many buildings predating the Civil War, some of them built before 1800. Shipbuilding, shipping and related industries kept Fell's Point humming.
