Royal Folly is located in Annapolis' historic district, directly across from the beautiful campus of St. John's College, and steps away from the US Naval Academy and the historic Maryland State Capitol building. Once you arrive you will have little need for a car. Everything is within walking distance...great restaurants, extraordinary shops, historic sites, and the Annapolis harbor as the gateway to the incredible Chesapeake Bay.
