Sales and Event Manager

ASH Hotels designs, develops, owns and operates a very special collection of properties. In our

world, a hotel is much more than a destination to meet, dine, or sleep. Rather, it is a dynamic

site of imagery and emotions, interactions and sensations manifesting within the walls of a

beautifully restored local legend - a living movie set. An ASH hotel is a connection to the past

and a beacon for the future, layered in nuanced storytelling that invites exploration time and

again.

Hotel Ulysses is a place where wanderers from anywhere can come for one-of-a-kind

experiences – whether they are popping out of their Baltimore studio for a drink or need a place

to stay during their east coast tour. To venture into Baltimore’s rich history and vibrant

community by way of the landmark Latrobe building feels only natural — an icon with a

checkered past that has been restored to carry on its legacy. Nestled into the neighborhood of

Mt. Vernon, the sprawling site houses 116 guest rooms alongside Blooms, an eccentric cocktail

lounge, and Ash-Bar, a salon style café. Far from a support for tourists, Ulysses stands firm as a

contributor and tableau vivant of Baltimore’s artistic tradition–and its contemporary evolution.
