If you are planning a visit to Frederick, you have many options for where to stay.  In this article, Nicole and I will share what we think are the Best Boutique Hotels in Frederick, MD.

Frederick is a historic, charming, and lively town, with some great accommodations to match.  This post lists hotels and lodging options in Frederick, MD, that differ from the many chain hotels in the area.

1. The Visitation Hotel (Frederick, MD)

A white statue of the Virgin Mary stands with hands in prayer before a brick building labeled “Visitation Hotel Frederick” in Frederick, Maryland. The building has tall arched windows, white trim, and a small rooftop tower under an overcast sky.

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 (Frederick, MD)

10-Clarke-best-boutique-hotel-frederick-md

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 (Frederick, MD)

Hollerstown-Hill-Frederick-MD

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, such as The Ordinary Hen, The Tasting Room Frederick, and Hooch and Banter, are also just blocks away.

4. The Wedgewood Inn (Frederick, MD)

The Wedgewood Inn is one of the Best Hotels in Frederick MD

Why We Love It: Another downtown, centrally located property in Frederick is The Wedgewood Inn.  

This is a single-unit property that dates back to 1907 but was recently totally renovated. The unit has three bedrooms, each with a king-size bed. There’s also a sun porch.

The property is right downtown, next to Magoo’s Pub (one of the best pubs in Frederick). If you want to be close to downtown Frederick, you can’t beat the location.

5. Inn on Market (Frederick, MD)

A storefront with black trim and large windows reflects nearby buildings and cars. Above, a gold-trimmed black sign reads UP ON MARKET, one of the best bars in Frederick. The white brick facade features potted plants outside.

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.

6. Inn at Springfield Manor (Thurmont, MD)

An outdoor dining area with wooden and metal tables and chairs is filled with people socializing. Behind them stands a large beige building, similar to some hotels in Frederick MD, under a colorful sunset sky framed by green trees.

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.

7. The Rusty Rose (Jefferson, MD)

The-rusty-rose-jefferson-md

Why We Love It: This is a great property if you need more space, as its a full house to yourself with three bedrooms.  The Rusty Rose is in the town of Jefferson, MD just 15 minutes southwest of Frederick. 

This farmhouse was restored in 2021, so its full of charm but has all the modern amenities you need.  A great kitchen and plenty of space to hang out.

You’ll still be close to Frederick, plus close to all the surrounding hikes around Frederick and wineries around Fredrick, all within a short drive.

8. Strawberry Inn - Airbnb (New Market, MD)

A white two-story house with green shutters, a metal porch roof, and patriotic red, white, and blue bunting above the entrance evokes classic charm in New Market, MD. A red car is partially visible by shrubs and a white picket fence lining the porch.

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.  Rock Hill Orchards in nearby Mount Airy is also a great U-Pick farm.

You will also be across the street from our favorite restaurant and bar in New Market – Vintage.  Check it out! 

9. Antietam Overlook Farm (Keedysville, MD)

A large, dark-roofed house with dormer windows and a central peaked tower, resembling the charm of historic hotels in Frederick MD. It features screened porches, garden beds, a red-brick walkway, and green trees under a cloudy sky.

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).

10. Inn BoonsBoro (Boonsboro, MD)

Inn-BoonsBoro-near-Frederick

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.
