Baltimore Hilton hotel faces ‘catastrophic structural failures’ if pipes aren’t fixed

The plans called for copper. Instead, steel was used. Now, the city-owned Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor hotel claims it could face “catastrophic structural failures” if the hotel doesn’t replace its pipes. That’s according to a 2018 lawsuit filed by the convention center hotel in downtown Baltimore. Details of the lawsuit — and the extensive damage at the Baltimore Hilton — are coming to light now after a routine financial filing by the hotel.
