Historic Peabody Court Hotel Brings Upscale Wyndham Hotel Brand to Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Dec. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The landmark Peabody Court Hotel, located in historic Mount Vernon Square, has opened a new chapter in its legacy. The 104-room hotel today became the Wyndham Baltimore Peabody Court, the city's first hotel in five years to fly the flag of this upscale hotel brand.  The hotel is owned and operated by Silver Spring, Md. - based Sunburst Hospitality Corporation.  

To celebrate its re-opening under the Wyndham flag, the hotel is offering introductory rates and packages available on the hotel's website, www.wyndham.com./hotels/BWIPC.

"This historic property offers the ambiance of a classic, European boutique hotel right in the educational and cultural epicenter of the city," he noted.  "Built in the early 1920's as a high-end apartment building, the hotel has become the leading gathering spot in this upscale neighborhood, and we have upgraded the property to reflect our surroundings."

The hotel will target corporate travelers, as well as provide lodging and social and business meeting space for the many cultural, educational and medical facilities in the immediate neighborhood.  "The Wyndham brand has a long tradition of addressing the needs of corporate travelers," Hanley added.  "And, the Wyndham Rewards frequent guest program offers generous rewards to its members."
