Accommodations

Ulysses

Ulysses is a hotel in Mt Vernon, Baltimore mere steps away from the city's most celebrated cultural attractions. Living inside the storied nine-story Latrobe Building on East Read Street, once home to seven-time Baltimore mayor Ferdinand Latrobe, and many lonely bachelors after that, Ulysses is an ever-evolving monument to Baltimore’s iconic contradictions and unhinged visions. 116 rooms, four auspicious suites, clandestine drinking parlors, and a restaurant, Ulysses is a place for transportive gathering, for filth and reverie — the high priest of the fever dream.

Baltimore in 2004 was a very different place then it is today. When we started, radical, self-managed collective spaces were few and far between.

We like to think that our establishment has helped change that.

B. Willow

"With a focus on Baltimore, we hope to bring more nature into peoples homes, businesses, schools, and organizations. 


For thousands of years, to be human was to be part of nature. There was no separation. To be alive meant to be completely immersed in our natural surroundings, utilizing our senses in a myriad of ways. Todays world is much different. Weve lost that daily, frequent interaction with nature and moved indoors. The ramifications of this are numerous- increased stress, depression, inability to concentrate, etc."
