BALTIMORE MD – Hilton Worldwide, operators of the Hilton Baltimore Convention Center Hotel, announced they were moving the hotel’s 757 beds to a location in Towson, MD. The hotel will be built in the “canyon” between Joppa Rd and Towson Town Center. Jim Door, owner of the Baltimore hotel franchise, states that “In Towson, we won’t have to conform to such things as “context” and “urban folk”. Instead, just a 50 minute bus ride from the heart of Downtown, we can provide what convention goers really want – a Louis Vuitton just steps away.”

The former hotel, opened just under three years ago, will become the “Baltimore Detention Center”. With room for 1514 inmates, the city can focus its resources on arresting people instead of prosecuting them. This will be in addition to the “College” near Greenmount Ave in the Old Town district. Seamus O’Shauneggsheney, head of Maryland Dept. Of Corrections – Baltimore remarked “The former Hilton met our needs perfectly, with a central location, expansive processing areas, and view for the guards. Amazingly, no Architectural details will need to be altered!”
