Christmas in Fell's Point

I must admit that Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year at the Admiral Fell Inn and in the Fell’s Point neighborhood. Between the decorations in the hotel and the Fell’s Point Square holiday festivities, there is enough Christmas spirit to make even the Grinch an avid believer! The Admiral Fell Inn is beautifully decorated and anxiously awaiting all of the festivities that are in store. Also, we have overnight packages that are specific to the holiday season. Our new Jingle Bell Rockin’ Breakfast with Santa Package is available the nights of December 7 and December 14 and includes a delicious breakfast buffet for two at the Hard Rock Café the next morning, a picture with Santa in a Hard Rock souvenir frame, a goodie bag and an unique 2007 Limited Edition handmade Harbor Magic ornament. This package is deliciously fun for the whole family! And remember, extra adult and child guests can always be added to a package for an additional charge.

We also welcome back our very popular Harbor Magic for the Holidays Package that includes the 2007 Limited Edition handmade Harbor Magic ornament, a $100 Harbor Magic Hotels Gift Voucher (valid for a future stay) and Holiday-themed Godiva chocolates. Just imagine all of the holiday savings! And as a special insider’s tip, if you are a Harbor Magic guest staying at the Admiral Fell Inn or at one of our sister properties, remember that Santa himself will be visiting the Fell’s Point neighborhood this very weekend, Saturday, December 1, 2007, and will be available for photos and autographs at Kooper’s Tavern on Thames Street. Santa will arrive by tugboat at Broadway Pier and proceed to Kooper’s Tavern for Fell’s Point’s own ‘Breakfast with Santa.’ Come one, come all and enjoy the holiday festivities that Fell’s Point has to offer.

Food & Wine Escape

I am so excited to announce that our newest package, Food & Wine Escape, is ready for you to experience! The Food & Wine Escape package was so much fun to create because each Experience Specialist from the three Harbor Magic Hotels had the opportunity to directly influence the package with one of our Top Ten Best Bets for food in Baltimore! Being Italian, I, of course, added Aldo’s Ristorante Italiano’s fabulous Wine Cellar Experience to our list of Top Ten Best Bets. There is absolutely nothing more romantic and intimate than this unique “dining experience,” as a recent guest of the Inn and participant described it. Aldo’s will provide transportation to and from the restaurant in order to provide a truly relaxing dinner. You and your significant other will be escorted into the beautiful wine cellar of the restaurant, which was built by Chef Aldo himself! The romantic ambiance and courteous staff will blow you away! The inner cellar includes a private table for two with its own wait staff, so you can indulge in a delicious variety of foods presented as a five-course meal. Enjoy your meal with or without wine pairings (since you will not have to worry about the drive home, why not? Go for it!) and finish it off with a complimentary glass of Chef Aldo's award-winning housemade 'Creme de Limoncello,' the Italians favorite after-dinner drink. And as an insider’s tip, be sure to ask for a tour of the restaurant. The presentation of the restaurant matches that of the food; it is truly a feast for the eyes!

Also included in your Food & Wine Escape package is your own Robert Mondavi Private Selection tasting featuring a half bottle of both Chardonnay and Cabernet, a set of two special edition stemless wine glasses, a Robert Mondavi signature corkscrew, “Food and Wine Best Bets” Guide to the Area presented by Marc Silverstein, breakfast for two and deluxe overnight accommodations.

You can also enter to win a two night, three-day getaway to Napa Valley, California! You will win airfare for two and a winery tour, wine tasting and lunch at the Robert Mondavi Winery. So, whether you are staying with us to add a little bit of pleasure to business or as a truly romantic getaway, be sure to book our brand new Food & Wine Escape!

Ghostly Getaway Package

When one thinks of major holidays, specific ones come to mind: Christmas, Easter, Chanukah and Thanksgiving. But, local Fells Point-ians think of one more! The holiday that most floats our boat in Fell’s Point involves ghosts and goblins, witches and black cats, and CANDY. Any guesses? That’s right, we can’t get enough of Halloween! And where better to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve than a historic (and very haunted) seaport? Halloween is more than a holiday in Fell’s Point, it is a time for adults to be kids again! Imagine stepping into a sprawling cavalcade of bizarre and unusual creatures where revelers throng the streets all night long. That is what we call Halloween!

And what better way to celebrate the momentous occasion than with our spooky Ghostly Getaway Package! This package includes two tickets to the Original Fell’s Point Ghost Walk, an autographed copy of the ghost book, ‘Baltimore’s Harbor Haunts,’ which will be waiting in your room for you upon your arrival, an exclusive Harbor Magic Passport for discounts on shopping, food and drinks, and a buffet-style breakfast served in the hotel. What an awesome way to celebrate the haunted holiday.

Best of all, you don’t have to wait until October 31st to join in on the spooky fun! Fell’s Point, and specifically the Admiral Fell Inn, is not haunted for only those 24 hours on Halloween. We enjoy 364 other days of ghost sightings, creepy encounters and down right spookiness! Try not to get entirely spooked out as the hotel’s resident ghosts portray stories from your book that happened right here at the Admiral Fell Inn. Read along as you walk from tavern to tavern visiting haunted pubs such as The Horse You Came In On, which boasts of being the pub where Edgar Allan Poe enjoyed his last drink. So get online or give us a call and book your Ghostly Getaway Package today, before it’s too late…..mwah-ha-ha.
