Hi pretties,
Getting a little personal on the blog today! Over the past few months, my twin brother has been seriously ill and I was just burned out physically and mentally. I felt so drained from the ripping and running and just the thought of losing my brother. But thank God, he turned a corner and when he did, I took a staycation to do absolutely nothing. The A has so many nice hotels in all categories from budget to 5 star so it was pretty easy to find a spot for the weekend, I chose Solis.
Solis
Solis is in a prime location near the airport, making it super convenient for travelers. This is a unique hotel and the first in the United States. It is part of the Porsche Experience with magnificent views of the Porsche Center located right next door. That was the appeal for me! A luxury hotel with luxury cars, winning combo.
This is a luxury hotel with a laid back feel. The lobby is sleek but not over done. Adjacent to the front desk is a Porsche themed lounge area.
I was welcomed from the valet to the front desk. As a matter of fact, the front desk agent walked me to my room and explained the features of the room and hotel. But he wasn’t stuffy at all, very friendly and put me at ease. I hate I didn’t get his name!
This space was so relaxing with a bird’s eye view of the track! Super exciting to watch folks enjoying the Porsche Experience.
The bed had a million pillows and I slept like a baby, feeling refreshed. I was soooo excited it was The Royal Wedding Day, which I totally forgot. But man, I ordered room service and chilled watching this beautifully loving and diverse ceremony, I shared my thoughts here.
Final Thoughts
I highly recommend Solis for its unique space, friendly staff, doable luxury price point, and amazing views of the Porsche track and plane landings. It’s close to the downtown and the airport. Oh they also have two acclaimed restaurants Apron and Overdrive with the rooftop bar. I’m ready for my second visit to Solis.
A Staycation was on the birthday list, maybe I’ll go back and take a Porsche for spin! Do you have a favorite local hotel?

I don’t have a favorite local hotel. I need to find one though. This one is really nice. I’m trying to figure out if I can recreate this wood wall.
Glad your brother is doing better.

This is by far one of the best experiences I’ve heard about recently! I’m so happy you shared this location but also the importance of self-caring and getting away and taking time for yourself. Also happy to hear the positive news about your brother! Such a blessing!
robi9832 says
Hi Brytnie, thank you for the kind words!
Kim says
I am happy to hear your brother is doing better. You need to take care of yourself so doing this is great! I’ve been thinking about doing the same. i am just unsure of where to go.

I love a good staycation! Sometimes it’s just the break you need. Very cool how them managed to incorporate car elements without going over the top. It’s chic!

Happy that your brother is doing better. This hotel looks fabulous. I’m jealous (lol). I love the subtle car theme in the rooms. My favorite hotel in Maryland is the Loew’s Annapolis. It’s gorgeous too. You would love it.
