Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore

A gleaming glass tower on the Inner Harbor, with a cabana-flanked rooftop pool and a sleek and tranquil spa.

Hungry. There are three dining options here, including a poolside bar where staffers will happily bring a lobster roll with herb aioli and a coconut mojito to your sunlit daybed.

The word “glam” doesn’t begin to capture the experience at this new star on the Baltimore waterfront, where floor-to-ceiling glass windows maximise every centimeter of what’s an undeniably jaw-dropping view. Guest rooms are nothing short of ginormous (starting at 502-square-feet), and most have balconies. We love the aptly-named Serene Suite, which has a kitchen worthy of Ina Garten (including Sub Zero and Wolf appliances), plus a living room with a gas fireplace that peeps out on the water, tucked within its 1,736-square-foot floor plan. But whichever room you pick, know that pampering comes with the territory; gratis services include overnight shoeshine, twice daily housekeeping, turndown, and a doting concierge that speaks multiple languages.

Kids have their very own wee red carpet rolled out for them, including amenities tailored to their ages, loaner cribs and playpens, babysitters at-the-ready, and a concierge who can book all manner of family exploits, including topnotch Orioles tickets.

After soaking into a thoroughly blissful state in the spa’s modernist window front hot tub, you’re more than ready for your treatment: a Himilayan salt scrub and Ayurvedic scalp massage. Aaaaah.
