The most convenient choice for accomodations during the workshop is at the venue itself, the O’Callaghan Annapolis Hotel with its modern amenities, Irish inspired design, and the John Barry restaurant serving a unique blend of traditional Irish fare and local Maryland favorites.

However, there are many other options to choose from in the heart of Annapolis including historic inns or B&Bs from the 1700s, the Loews Annapolis and Westin Annapolis, or stay on the waterfront at the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront Hotel. Otherwise you can stay a little further from the downtown to enjoy more budget accommodations.

Annapolis has been welcoming visitors for over 300 years. During colonial days, the city’s hospitality was what prompted the elite to flock here for the social season. Annapolis is still renown worldwide for its cuisine and historic accommodations.

There is always something to enjoy in Annapolis. Experience the colonial capital city, known since its earliest days as the “Athens of America,” where one could find a wealth of cultural activities, a glittering social season, gracious hospitality and intellectual stimulation.

Annapolis has been welcoming visitors for more than 300 years. The small seaport brought visitors from around the world who shared the news of the day while enjoying the ambiance and tidewater cuisine. You will find the same atmosphere today, drawing more than four million people a year to its shores.

Take time to walk the city and peer over the garden gates. Visit the many shops or relax on a water taxi in the harbor. Beneath the waters lie the hulls of the Peggy Stewart, burned during a tax revolt, and the great yacht “America” of America’s Cup fame. The same harbor where Kunte Kinte was sold into slavery is where the proud Selima, top class thoroughbred whose bloodline gave us Man O’War and other champions, disembarked. The working-class dock, where PT boats and mine sweepers for two world wars were built, now supports the technologies used by Olympic sailors who train here and consider Annapolis “America’s Sailing Capital.”
