Tidewater Inn is a historic hotel in Easton, Talbot County, Maryland, United States. It is a Colonial Revival brick, hip-roofed, four-story hotel with flanking three-story wings and an addition on the north wing.[2] Arthur Johnson Grymes Jr. was the original builder.[3] The original section was completed in 1949, with an addition to the north constructed in 1953. The floor plan of the original building is a flattened chevron shape. It served as the preeminent hostelry and community gathering place on the Maryland Eastern Shore during the time when new automobile-oriented transportation routes intensified the volume of visitors.[2]
The inn has a restaurant with bar, and 86 guest rooms and suites. It also serves as a wedding venue and hosts events such as opening night activities for Easton's Waterfowl Festival. Notable guests include Bing Crosby, the Kennedys, Robert Mitchum, Elvis Presley, and Elizabeth Taylor.[3] The Tidewater Inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
During March 2026, it was announced that the Tidewater Inn would be sold. The current leadership team is continuing operations with no changes. Although a listing is not expected to be active for a few more months, the sale is expected before the end of the year.[3]
