The Better Baltimore Bed and Breakfasts Association has found success in its mission of
having November declared “Bed and Breakfast Month” in Baltimore. City Councilman William
Cole will be making the official announcement of the new designation on Tuesday, November
1st at Scarborough Fair Bed and Breakfast in Federal Hill.
Many of the Better Baltimore Bed and Breakfasts Association members have been working
to strengthen the city's tourism outreach efforts by hosting travel writers, bloggers and travel
show hosts/production companies in combination with Visit Baltimore in order to showcase
Baltimore's small inns. They have also been working on digital outreach efforts using their
own websites, events calendars and social media as portals to connect with travelers who
might not think of Baltimore as bed and breakfast kind of town.
The innkeepers of Baltimore's bed and breakfasts have been busy this year. Scarborough
Fair recently announced that their number of “Excellent” Trip Advisor rankings was larger
than any other hotel or inn in Baltimore, including the big chain hotels. The Better Baltimore
Bed and Breakfasts Association has also recently welcomed a new member, Bluedoor on
Baltimore Street.
The designation of November as “Bed and Breakfast Month" by the city will assist the Better
Baltimore Bed and Breakfasts Association in its efforts to draw attention to its upcoming
holiday and charity event in December. The Association will hold its second annual
Holiday House Tour on December 6th, with the proceeds going to benefit Moveable Feast.
