SpringHill Suites by Marriott Baltimore Downtown/Inner Harbor

Constructed in 1890, the former Maryland Trust Office Building is one of Baltimore’s earliest skyscrapers and one of the few downtown buildings to have survived the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. To transform the structure into a 99-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel, STV oversaw preliminary through final design for the adaptive reuse of the 11-story, 70,000-square-foot building that is on the National Register Business and Government Historic District.

By adhering to historic preservation guidelines, the developer received tax credits for the renovation of this building. STV’s adaptive reuse design maintained the architectural integrity of the structure while integrating features to meet modern fire department codes and structural support.
