Disclaimer: While we are Frederick residents, experts on everything to do in Frederick, and have stayed at many of the properties in this list, we have not stayed at all of them. This list is based on our experience and the feedback we’ve received from many other Frederick visitors, locals, and reviews.
1. The Visitation Hotel
Why We Love It: As mentioned above, downtown Frederick’s biggest venue opening in years was The Visitation Hotel in December 2024. This Marriott Tribute property was created by converting a historic 19th-century property, previously a convent and a catholic school for women.
The new property is stunning in many ways. The property exudes character, primarily because of the many ways they’ve incorporated its history.
The location also can’t be beaten. It’s two blocks off Market Street in downtown Frederick, within walking distance to all the great shops, restaurants, and bars in Frederick.
Finally, the on-site Wye Oak Tavern, a restaurant created by celebrity chefs Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, is worth a visit on its own. Wye Oak delivers a fabulous dining experience in what was originally the convent’s chapel.

2. 10 Clarke Bed and Breakfast
Why We Love It: 10 Clarke is a lovely B&B in a perfect location. The property is a historic Victorian home that has been converted into a relaxing place to stay. The rooms are luxurious and unique, with a mix of European and early American decor.
The breakfast gets rave reviews from guests, plentiful and delicious. 10 Clarke is one of Frederick’s few true Bed and Breakfast experiences.
However, its best characteristic for visitors might be the location. Baker Park (Frederick’s main downtown park) is around the corner. Downtown Frederick, with plentiful restaurants and bars, is just a few short blocks away. Try Il Porto just one block north.
3. Hollerstown Hill Bed and Breakfast
Why We Love It: This is another bed and breakfast in the same neighborhood that has many of the same qualities. Hollerstown Hill is a distinctive pink Victorian home decorated with antiques and collectibles. Each of the four guest rooms is unique and comfortable.
This property also benefits from a tremendous location. You can easily walk to Frederick attractions like Carroll Creek Park, including the cluster of Frederick Breweries at the east end.
Top Frederick restaurants like The Ordinary Hen, The Tasting Room, and Hooch and Banter are also only blocks away.
4. Inn on Market
Why We Love It: Inn on Market (and its accompanying bistro Up on Market) is a landmark establishment in Frederick. The building’s history dates back to 1792 when it was owned by Richard Potts, a member of the Continental Congress.
Today, it’s a French-styled Inn at the north end of Market Street in downtown Frederick. It has four unique rooms, each with a private bath, elegant design, and comfort.
Its best feature may be the Bistro downstairs. It’s an excellent place for breakfast or brunch (think French baked goods), but it’s also one of Frederick’s best dinner spots. We also put it on our list of best bars in Frederick.
The location can’t be beaten, and Frederick’s heart is outside the Inn’s door.
5. Inn at Springfield Manor
Why We Love It: If you don’t mind staying slightly outside of Frederick, you can consider options like the Inn at Springfield Manor. This property on a beautiful estate is about 11 miles north of Frederick (~15 minutes), and there’s a lot to like about it.
The Inn itself is a charming 18th-century estate home on the slopes of the Catoctin Mountains. It has gorgeous, elevated, sweeping views, best enjoyed by the Springfield Manor Winery and Brewery on the property.
In fact, one of the best benefits of staying at this Inn is the opportunity to enjoy the local wine, beer, or spirits and hanging out next door.
The inn has several second- and third-floor suites, all of different sizes (most for two people) and each with its own character.
One advantage of this location is its accessibility to local hikes. One of our favorite area hikes is about a 30-minute drive from Springfield: the Annapolis Rock Trail Hike.
6. Strawberry Inn (Airbnb)
Why We Love It: The Strawberry Inn in New Market is another inn to consider slightly outside of Frederick. New Market is another historic town about 15 minutes east of Frederick.
The Strawberry Inn is right in downtown New Market and claims to be the longest-operating guest house in Maryland.
It’s another charming historic Inn, built in the early 1800s. Reviews tend to suggest that its best feature is its enchanting garden. If you like cats, you’ll find some of those as well.
New Market is a good base for visiting the Frederick area. Many of the best wineries in the area are just north of New Market, including Linganore Winecellars, Black Ankle Winery, and Hidden Hills Farm and Vineyard.
You will also be across the street from our favorite restaurant and bar in New Market – Vintage. Check it out!
7. Antietam Overlook Farm
Why We Love It: Venturing even further out from Frederick, this time to the west, there are some additional exciting places to stay in the Maryland countryside. Antietam Overlook Farm is a B&B-style Inn dating from the 18th century about 30 minutes outside of Frederick.
Antietam Overlook is on a large mountain farm with beautiful surroundings. It is minutes from Antietam Battlefield, a major Civil War history site.
The rooms, decor, and breakfast are upscale, but country and get rave reviews. You are very close to Harpers Ferry, the Appalachian Trail, and Big Cork Vineyards (one of the best wineries around Frederick).
8. Inn BoonsBoro
Why We Love It: Boonsboro is a small town northwest of Frederick (about 18 miles and 30 minutes). The Inn BoonsBoro is right downtown and is a highly recommended place to stay in the area.
Rooms at this Inn are slightly pricier, but according to the many excellent reviews, they are worth it. A stay at the Inn BoonsBoro is more of a luxury experience while maintaining country charm.
There are ample relaxation areas, including courtyards and balconies. Stay here if you want to pamper yourself while in the Frederick area.
The property has a long history dating back to the 18th century and has been a hotel or inn for decades.
