It has a seasonal infinity pool above the harbour, a 10,000 sq ft spa, and a rooftop restaurant.

The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Baltimore

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at Maximón

Full breakfast for two per bedroom at Maximón, the hotel's main restaurant, or through in-room dining. In-room breakfast is worth using on a morning when you have a spa booking or an early meeting.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay, for the hotel's own restaurants and spa.

03

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. The step that matters most here is from a city view to a harbour view, in a room of the same size.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Useful if you are in town for a hospital appointment, a game or a morning meeting and need the room at either end of the day.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We also ask on your behalf for a renovated room and a high floor.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the hotel's own promotions. We check what is available for your dates when we quote.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Baltimore

Rooms here are large for a city hotel, at about 500 sq ft, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a foyer and a deep soaking tub. The main choice is between a city view and a harbour view. A renovation of every room is under way, so some rooms are newer than others. We ask the hotel which have been finished before we book.

The room to book

Harbor-View Room

The same size as the entry room, facing the water. The harbour is the reason to stay at this hotel over others in the city, so this is the category we suggest for most leisure stays. It comes with a king bed or two doubles.

Couples

Harbor-View Balcony Room

Slightly larger, at about 530 sq ft, with a private balcony over the water. Guests who have stayed on the top floor describe the balcony as generous. Ask for a high floor.

Best value

City-View Room

The entry category, looking over the city instead of the water. The room itself is the same size and layout, which makes it a sensible choice for a short business stay, and the category where an upgrade is most noticeable.

Families and longer stays

Executive Suite

A one-bedroom suite of roughly 950 sq ft with a separate living room. Ask for the harbour-view version. Rooms with two double beds are the simpler option for a family of four on a short visit.

Special occasions

Harbor Suite and Lighthouse Suite

The larger suites, at about 1,100 sq ft, with wide views of the water.

A guest in mid-2026 described an unrenovated room as dated. Until the work is complete, the most useful request is for a renovated room away from any floors being worked on. We make that request with every booking.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Baltimore

01

Ask about the renovation

All rooms and public areas are being renovated in phases through 2027 while the hotel stays open. Tell us your dates and we will ask which rooms are finished and whether any work is planned near yours.

02

Book the harbour side

Most rooms face the water, and those are the ones to have. If you are choosing between a city-view room on a higher category and a harbour-view room on a lower one, take the harbour.

03

Check the pool season

The infinity pool is outdoors and seasonal. If the pool is part of the plan, ask us for the opening dates, and reserve a cabana ahead for summer weekends. Cabanas cost extra.

04

You can walk almost everywhere

The National Aquarium is about nine minutes on foot, and the Inner Harbor and Fells Point are an easy walk along the water. A free city bus, the Charm City Circulator, stops in Harbor East. A rental car is rarely needed.

05

Allow for tax and parking

Hotel taxes in Baltimore add about 17.5 percent to the rate, and parking is around $50 a night. We include the tax in your quote.

06

Dress for The Bygone

The rooftop restaurant has a dress code: collared shirts for men and no sportswear. Book ahead for dinner and for the Sunday brunch buffet.

07

Reserve the spa

The spa is one of the largest in the city and is popular with local guests at weekends. Book treatments before you arrive.

08

Travelling with children or pets

The hotel runs a children's programme and can supply baby equipment. Dogs and cats are accepted for a fee per stay. Tell us in advance so the room is ready.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Baltimore

The hotel has three outlets of its own, and the building also houses independent restaurants. That gives you more choice than most city hotels without leaving the block.

Latin American, all day

Maximón

The main restaurant, with a Mexican-led menu, a courtyard, a tequila tasting room and a waterfront bar with live music. Breakfast is served here.

Rooftop, dinner and Sunday brunch

The Bygone

A 1920s-themed restaurant and bar at the top of the tower, with long views over the harbour and the city. Known for its Sunday brunch buffet. There is a dress code.

Seasonal, by the pool

Splash Pool Bar & Grill

American food and drinks served on the pool terrace in the warmer months.

Independent restaurants

Also in the building

Loch Bar, a seafood tavern with a raw bar, and Azumi, a Japanese restaurant, have operated in the same building. They are run separately from the hotel.

On Property

Pool, spa and facilities at Four Seasons Baltimore

The pool terrace and the spa are the two features that set this hotel apart in Baltimore.

01

Infinity pool

An outdoor infinity pool on a terrace above the harbour, with a hot tub and a wading pool for small children. Open seasonally, with staff setting up chairs, towels and water.

02

Cabanas and adults' area

Private cabanas can be reserved for the day at a charge. Part of the terrace is reserved for guests aged 16 and over.

03

Spa

10,000 sq ft with 11 treatment rooms, steam, sauna, a vitality pool and an ice fountain.

04

Fitness centre

Open 24 hours, overlooking the pool terrace.

05

Families

A children's programme, baby equipment on request and a shallow wading pool make this an easy city stay with young children.

06

Pets

Dogs and cats are welcome for a fee per stay, with a weight limit. Let us know when you book.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Baltimore

Baltimore has four clear seasons. The pool and the waterfront are at their best from late spring to early autumn.

April and May
Mild weather and good value before the summer peak. The Preakness horse race in May brings a busy weekend.
June to August
Hot and humid, and the most expensive period. This is pool season and baseball season, so weekends fill up.
September and October
Warm days, cooler evenings and lower rates. Football home games on autumn weekends can tighten availability.
November to March
The quietest months and the lowest rates. The outdoor pool is closed, so plan around the spa, the aquarium and the restaurants.

Beyond the Hotel

Things to do near Four Seasons Baltimore

The waterfront promenade links most of what visitors come to see.

01

National Aquarium

About nine minutes on foot. One of the best aquariums in the country. Book timed tickets ahead for weekends.

02

Fells Point

A historic waterfront neighbourhood of cobbled streets, pubs and seafood restaurants, an easy walk east along the harbour.

03

Inner Harbor

The USS Constellation and the Maryland Science Center are a short walk west along the promenade.

04

Fort McHenry

The fort that inspired the national anthem, reached by water taxi in season or a short drive.

05

Camden Yards

The Orioles' ballpark, a few minutes away by car. A summer evening game is one of the best things to do in the city.
