The 2009 College Media Conference will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, at the Tremont Plaza Hotel.
Baltimore
Frommer’s travel guidebook named Baltimore— a city rich with culture, beauty, history, and fun— as one of the top ten destinations for international travelers. It is also quaint, quirky, and unlike any other city. Tremont Plaza Hotel and Tremont Grand Conference Center are located in the historic Mount Vernon cultural arts district that features nearby shopping, entertainment, dining, and cultural attractions. Originally built in 1866, the Tremont Grand is within walking distance of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Port Discovery Kids Museum, Reginald E. Lewis Museum of Maryland African-American History, Maryland Science Center, Walters Art Gallery, National Aquarium, Little Italy restaurants, Orioles Park at Camden Yards, and the Ravens Football Stadium.
