Near or Far

 

We’re all in need of a little more wind in our sails these days.  Just steps from the U. S. Naval Academy, 134 Prince is the place to harness it.  It is not an understatement to say that every detail has been considered with the luxury traveler in mind.  The gracious, on-point staff is there to meet needs you haven’t even thought of yet.  (Spirit tasting anyone?)

Whether you’re visiting from out of town or looking for a luxurious lockdown on a local level, 134 Prince is the definitive place to treat yourself.  Slip into one of the provided robes and slippers after a long soak in the spa-quality tub or cozy up in a custom chair while taking in the streetscape down below.    

 

The Decadence is in the Details

 

Clint Ramsden and Cody Monroe, both USNA 2011 grads, led the transformation of the hotel.  The two former Navy pilots have been rehabilitating historic properties into luxury accommodations since 2013, with this being their first foray since being back in the Annapolis market.  Says Clint, “We spent more than a year studying the rich architectural details so that we could breathe new life into the building.”

 

The Presidential Suite at 134 Prince has exposed beams in the ceiling

The sumptuous charcoal-infused beds, like this one in the presidential suite, have some guests ordering one of their very own.  The hand-ironed pillowcases (scented with a secret formula), and original 1849 beams, though, are going to make this stay hard to duplicate.  Photo courtesy of Laura Metzler.

 

And it shows!  The interior, a breathtaking layout furnished by award-winning design firm Interior Concepts, Inc., provides a welcome retreat for hotel guests in both the elegantly comfortable suites and the shared spaces of the dining room and parlor.  Even the hallways lend an air of fresh sophistication that will, you guessed it, put a spring in your step.
