Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel Closes, 69 Jobs Cut in Latest Downtown Setback

City leaders say the property's next use is undecided, with Harborplace redevelopment slated later this year.

Overview

  • Maryland Department of Labor says the hotel shut on Dec. 31 and 69 employees were laid off.
  • The building is shuttered with an empty lobby, the Sheraton name removed, and the in-house Morton’s The Steakhouse also closed.
  • The Baltimore Development Corporation reports few details on the site’s future but says it wants another hotel or business to take the space.
  • Residents and small-business owners warn the closure undercuts tourism and game-day activity near nearby Camden Yards.
  • The shutdown comes alongside other Inner Harbor exits, with the Cheesecake Factory leaving this month and vendors preparing to relocate for Harborplace construction later this year.
