The Historic Lord Baltimore Hotel restores its prominence as a Maryland landmark

The classic French Renaissance landmark features 23 stories comprised of 440 guest rooms and suites, more than 20,000 square feet of event space, several dining and lounging spaces, one of the city’s only rooftop event spaces, and more.

The Lord Baltimore Hotel, one of the crowning architectural jewels of Baltimore, Maryland, reopened on 27 March 2014 following a restoration by Rubell Hotels. The hotel, built in 1928, has undergone a complete transformation in which every surface has been touched by craftsmen, artisans, artists and designers, bringing the hotel back to its former glory.  

The classic French Renaissance landmark features 23 stories comprised of 440 guest rooms and suites, more than 20,000 square feet of event space, several dining and lounging spaces, one of the city’s only rooftop event spaces, and more. The hotel is included in the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America.

Interior designer Scott Sanders, formerly the lead interior designer at Ralph Lauren, who specializes in distinctive residential and commercial interiors for notable clients and properties, spearheaded the design, which typifies his “New American Style.” Inspired equally by classic men’s haberdashery and the six historical Lords Baltimore, Sanders has used traditional menswear fabrics in unconventional ways, resulting in an interior that seamlessly combines a fresh, clean modern look with all the warmth and grandeur of a historical property.

Complimentary high-speed internet is now available throughout the hotel and each room has a new 50” high-definition television with 60 complimentary HD channels. The LB Tavern, just off the lobby, is a communal gathering space where guests can enjoy cocktails in a library-like setting.

Four penthouses overlook the Lord Baltimore’s two rooftop areas, which feature a panoramic view of downtown Baltimore. The rooftop gardens and penthouses are available for private events. Guests can also enjoy the new state of the art gym with a range of LifeFitness equipment.

“The Lord Baltimore Hotel highlights everything that is special about Baltimore – history, cuisine, art and architecture,” said Gene-Michael Addis, general manager. “From our modern yet comfortable guest rooms and suites to our unmatched meeting spaces and sweeping views of downtown, the Lord Baltimore appeals to everything that a guest or visitor to Charm City could ask for.”

A highlight of the refurbishment is the grand French Kitchen restaurant, which offers classic French fare in contemporary preparations. Inspired by the familiar bright colours used in Matisse paintings, Sanders transformed the historic Versailles dining room using a bright, modern aesthetic. Additionally, guests can enjoy the LB Bakery, a contemporary take on a small-town American coffee house, featuring homemade breads, pastries, salads and sandwiches.

Art exhibitions are planned throughout the public spaces and will highlight local, national and global artwork. Additionally, the hotel will feature a signature gift shop, SideShow, an outpost of the American Visionary Art Museum’s museum shop.
