The Inn at Perry Cabin, An Orient-Express Hotel

The Inn at Perry Cabin occupies an 1816 manor house outside the resort town of St. Michaels, Maryland, just 90 minutes from Washington, D.C., and less than two hours from Baltimore and Philadelphia. In keeping with the Orient-Express collection, each of the individually designed accommodations features elegant fabrics and wallpapers. Most have patios or verandas, and many have fireplaces. Sherwood's Landing, the hotel's signature restaurant, holds the Mobil Four-Star, AAA Four Diamond Award and DiRoNA Awards.

Meeting planners find five rooms ideal for elite corporate events, whether business meetings with 12 participants or receptions for 180. Outdoor venues include the Kitchen Garden, which is ideal for an intimate reception or cocktail party of up to 20, the Miles Terrace—a favorite for breakfast meetings—and The Point, a sprawling waterfront lawn. Meetings and incentives both appreciate the luxury spa and heated outdoor pool as well as golf, fishing, sailing, and horse-drawn carriage rides nearby.
