Blue Door on Baltimore
Blue Door on Baltimore Bed & Breakfast, located in historic Butcher's Hill, allows guests to enjoy a quaint, neighborhood-centric experience in a casually elegant setting. Just steps from Patterson Park, this B&B is a completely refurbished, early 1900s Baltimore row house and home to its innkeepers, Roger and Cecelia. While this B&B has so much to offer, the most unique feature is that Blue Door on Baltimore offers gluten-free menu options for breakfast and evening turndown snack service.

Weekday breakfasts are continental, including whole fruits, eggs made-to-order, as well as gluten-free tapioca bread for toast or French toast. Pancakes made from rice flour are also available. On the weekends, a three-course Grand Breakfast is offered, featuring tapioca bread, biscottis, mixed fruit salad or parfait, as well as a gluten-free breakfast casserole such as a crustless quiche or stuffed French toast. All breakfasts can be made gluten-free or not. Both soy and rice milk is also available for the lactose intolerant. Vegan options are available too.
The evening turndown service includes gluten-free treats like brownies, chocolate chip cookies and/or cinnamon wafers, as well as fruit and a homemade dark chocolate fudge. An ingredient card is left on a bedside tray.
Roger and Cecelia have food allergies themselves. When they opened their doors just over three years ago, they realized that if they lived with food allergies, other people do too. Many guests make Blue Door a destination for just this reason. Because Johns Hopkins Hospital is located just minutes from the Inn, many patients and their families choose to stay at Blue Door because it can accommodate their dietary needs during medical treatments. Conveniently, Blue Door is situated along the Hopkins shuttle service route.
Roger and Cecelia also host parents of college students, especially during the local colleges' Family Weekends. Other visitors enjoy the proximity to Patterson Park and the Inner Harbor, and prefer the experience of a true Baltimore neighborhood setting, rather than a hotel stay. Blue Door boasts three spacious Deluxe King appointed suites, each with private bath including soaking tub, separate shower and luxury amenities. Each suite offers WiFi, satellite television, radio, iPod docking stations, irons and hair dryers. Two suites offer private outside decks. Relaxing common areas include the parlor, dining room, and library featuring boardgames, books, a printer on the network, and 24-hour self-service tea, water and sodas. A small laptop is available for guest use in the parlor. There are two private parking pads available to guests as well as street parking.
The Inn also recycles and is completely green. It operates exclusively on wind power and was certified in the Green Maryland Lodging Program through 100% Local Clean Steps?.
