ACL 2014 will be held on Baltimore's Inner Harbor, in the highly-ranked Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, where two levels of ballroom foyers directly overlook the waterfront.

More than 40 restaurants, cafes and pubs are within 1-3 blocks (including Harborplace, Little Italy and historic Fells Point). Most are directly overlooking the Inner Harbor and have outdoor seating on the waterfront.

Baltimore's cultural districts (including the world-class-gem Walters Art Museum and Visionary Art Museum) are close by, easily accessible by the free and frequent Circulator bus system and water taxis leaving directly in front of the hotel.
