BALTIMORE and MCLEAN, Va. -- One of Charm City's most charming hotels - the only one a pier in the engaging Inner Harbor waterfront - today joins Curio Collection by Hilton^TM, a global portfolio of upper upscale hotels whose only unifying characteristic is their individuality.

The first Curio Collection hotel in Maryland, the three-story property just completed a million-dollar transformation.

"The bustling Inner Harbor has long been Baltimore's hub of tourism, nightlife and business, and Pier 5 Hotel Baltimore provides the perfect vantage point for curious travelers to see and do it all," said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton. "Like each Curio Collection property, Pier 5 Hotel Baltimore authentically embodies the unique culture and spirit of the city it calls home."
