Baltimore-owned Hilton’s issues will continue, despite new labor contract

As city officials try to keep Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor afloat, they said they see a new labor contract as an investment in making the hotel more competitive, even though it will likely increase the struggling hotel’s labor costs. But some question whether the struggling city-owned hotel’s problems are too big to overcome. The 757-room hotel overlooking Camden Yards opened in 2008 after the city borrowed about $300 million in bonds to fund the construction of the West Pratt Street building.
