Annapolis Towne Center is a beautiful open-air mall with great shopping and dining options, less than one mile from the hotels. Nearby, there's also Annapolis Mall and Annapolis Harbor Center, home to a local favorite Pennsylvania Dutch Farmer's Market!
Founded in the 1600's, Annapolis is one of the most historic cities in our nation. Walk in the footsteps of America's founding fathers - from the Maryland State House (briefly the U.S. capitol), down bricked streets to the beautiful waterfront City Dock (in use for over 350 years)! Only three miles from the hotels, whether you're interested in checking out the history or unique, local shopping and dining, downtown Annapolis is well worth the visit.
