Lord Baltimore Hotel

Careful with the Valet!!! The valet driver at the Lord Baltimore went through my car and stole a phone charger and opened a box of candy I had saved for my kids. I even tipped both drivers to help ensure a pleasant experience. When I notified the hotel manager on duty, he was quick to pass the blame saying that «they hire a valet company and he’d have their manager call me.» Thanks for your concern LB!

Gran old hotel in downtown Baltimore. Renovated back in the 70s. Would return and recommend.

Stayed for just a night, on June 19^th. Good hotel, room was clean and smelled fresh. Not the BEST location in the city but you’re about a 15 minute walk from downtown and the aquarium.
–Only thing that was unsatisfactory was the time it took for the valet to return our car. I could understand if they were busy but the front desk employee couldn’t reach them and had to resort to texting the valet worker in total it took about 45 minutes to get our vehicle.
–Your other option is to park yourself roughly 2 blocks away. After a certain time frame that option doesn’t seem too appetizing.
— Enjoy your stay!
— All in all we did :)

Nice, old, charming hotel in a good location close to Inner Harbor and Camden Yards. A little run down and the shower could use updating. Not the nicest view from our room and the parking was a couple blocks away in a kinda shady area. The lobby was very nice and inviting.
But allergy sufferers — beware. I’m pretty sure the room I stayed in had down pillows and when I called to confirm if they were down and if they had alternatives, I was told that the pillows were foam and they didn’t have alternatives. If that was the case, I was highly allergic to something in the room — perhaps dust then?

I had my daughters wedding here. If not for the wonderful caterer and our fantastic wedding planner, it would have been a bust. The hotel is so disorganized and the service is awful. I could go on and on about the issues we had, the lack of oversight, the giftbags I had for all my guests that were not given out, the problematic elevators (we waited for almost 30 minutes to get an elevator to the penthouse), the wait for our car from valet (over 30 minutes), the fact that they gave our suite away, the broken toilets, the broken sinks, the broken furniture in the penthouse… need I say more?

I stayed at this hotel with my boyfriend this past Sunday — Tuesday. When we arrived to the hotel we unloaded our own car and had to drive 2 – 3 blocks to the parking garage. It was hott and was not expecting the walk
When we walked in the place looked beautiful, but my first horrible experience was the elevator .
They have 4 or 5 elevators and the wait was behind extensive everytime … EVERYTIME .
The bathroom wall was practically falling apart and was very gruesome.
We also asked for towels and a hair comb to be sent to our room. We were assured by the front desk they would send them up asap .
They never arrived –_​–
It was all of the little things that added up that made this hotel suck. The service that was shown helping others unload their cars, the parking garage being so distant, the hotel is in a ugly area where you will be asked every step you take for change, the wall in the room and the principle of if you say you’ll send up a comb … Send it up. I was very disappointed… If I wanted to stay at a shitty hotel I would of stayed at the days inn down the street.

1^st night was great! Nice people Excellent clientele! Night 2 — Room next door — yelling, screaming, TV blasting — no sleep. 3 Rd night same room — they were allowed to continue their stay obviously — They were fighting, falling down, clothing in the Hallway! They are sound asleep as I write this review. To make matters worse. I called for my car from Valet at 5 AM — at 6:30 Am — I still have NO car! I sent my Daughter on a cab — and I will now miss my flight!!! Needless to say — we will NEVER stay here again! They didn’t even offer to comp the parking or even act like they cared!!! I am FURIOUS at 6:07 AM!!!

This old hotel has a lot of charm. I like the architecture from the outside and in the lobby, but once you get to your room it’s modern and clean lines. Rooms look like they have been upgraded fairly recently, bed was very comfortable, hotel is quiet and staff is friendly. Location is wonderful and has easy access to anything you could need, along with the Inner Harbor. I would have given more stars if ice machine wasn’t broken, elevators didn’t take so long, and if my window wasn’t looking at a brick wall. Overall, great experience!

Service is attentive! With that being said, food is mediocre. Had Maryland Lump Crab Cake, ONLY 1, w handcut fries that were extremely cold, as if they were sitting, waiting, as the last prom date to be chosen. Ordered new set, which were good but now, overly salted. The coleslaw was typical w just carrots slivers and an overabundance of mayo, very little flavor. The Crab Cake itself wasn’t formed or bind well, it fell apart and it was borderline warm to cold. Whatever «filling» they used was mealy and not incorporated well. The lumps were good, juicy and plump. The seasoning was good and lite enough to enjoy the crab flavor without overpowering it. They could’ve left off the sad side tomato, which looked as if it had seen better days.
Again, service, from was highly attentive, personable and efficient.
The rooms are newly renovated with the sleek chocolate contemporary décor BUT overlayed on what looked like Motel 6 type of under garments. The tubas grout was old and disgusting because they only changed the flooring, sink, mirrors and toilet seat. The rooms have no individual microwave
They’re located only on the even numbered floors. Rooms are spacious.
Overall, definitely come & stay but eat out!

After reading the mixed bag of reviews for the Lord Baltimore Hotel, I was unsure and very curious as to what my experience would be like. I’m happy to be able to write that my stay at the hotel was a very positive experience.
We booked a room for a single weekend night. When we had discovered that the event we were staying in town for started at 4 pm — the same time as check-​in — the front desk staff were very accommodating and happily granted us an early check-​in.
We were given a corner room at the end of a hallway, which was a very nice bonus. There was some traffic noise through the night (it is a city so that’s unavoidable and not the fault of the hotel), but we did not hear any noises from any other guests during our stay.
The room was nice and clean. I feel that the shower could have been a little cleaner, but my discomfort with hotel room germs may have been playing tricks on my brain.
The valet parking service made parking painless. It was well worth the extra fee, in my opinion.
The only issue that we had during our stay was with the room key cards not working when we returned to our room. It was quickly remedied after a quick trip down to the front desk to get replacements. A slight annoyance after a long night.
Overall, I’m very happy with the staff and the accommodations at The Lord Baltimore Hotel, and will definitely stay there again.

The service and accommodations at the Lord Baltimore are just excellent. I recently stayed there on a work trip. I shared a room with my coworker but the rooms are so spacious it was like I hardly noticed him. The hotel is beautifully decorated with touches of 1930s glam and modern accents. You really feel transported from the bland street outside once you step into this hotel.
LB Tavern is a fun bar with an excellent staff. They have pretty good food too. I tried some flatbread and crab dip and enjoyed them both. They also make a good Old Fashioned and their drinks are cheap! I’m saying this being from Chicago where a drink at a hotel this nice would be a lot pricier. The next time I’m in Baltimore I’d definitely choose to stay here again.

This hotel has all the markings of a high end hotel on paper:
Downtown, close to everything and the name itself, LORD BALTIMORE. I feel like a royal!
But sadly, there are issues that do not make the hotel very upscale. This review is for out of towners who don’t know the area (like myself)
When you pull up to the hotel, the front lobby door is on a narrow side street.
I ask the valet where do I park for the the night? Well, we can park your vehicle for $ 35 or you can self park for $ 15 bucks. I want to keep the money I make so I decided to self park. The problem is, the garage is 3 long blocks away. At night? I’m from New York, this area is not New York City. Its Baltimore. I have expensive luggage and I’m walking at night back to the hotel. Trust me, I’m ready to fight at a moments notice, a couple from Kansas might not be accustomed to being confronted for a dollar.
Once inside, the lobby and staff? Its a friendly and welcomed space. The front desk folks were professional and made us aware of their French bakery on premise.
We take an old clunky elevator to our room. The room is very large with a king size bed. The shower looks very dated with old tiles and dirty grout.
If you can get a room at the Lord Baltimore Hotel at cheap price, be aware of the parking and no midnite strolls, you might want to give an extra star.

My friend and I were in Baltimore for the Festival of Lights and opted to stay overnight as a quick decision versus driving back to DC. We booked it for $ 110 with tax included and got a double bed occupancy on the 8^th floor.
It is a historic hotel with updated modern charm. I really wish the historic charm would have ventured beyond the mezzanine and lobby, but I can understand why they would want the modern feel with clean lines throughout the rooms. It’s a good combination between old and new.
It had hot water. It was quiet. The beds were comfortable. The rooms are spacious with a mini fridge, safe, and free bottled water.
Knocking off a star because the front desk people seemed like they were having conflicts among each other It was obvious the team had issues and didn’t know how to work well with each other. They were very passive aggressive with snarky comments — the whole 9. Save it for a tastless reality show. We as customers shouldn’t have to see that.
Book it and stay here and ignore the ignorance of the front desk during shift change.

Great place, amazing friendly and helpful staff. The neighborhood isn’t the best in the inner harbor but it’s not horrible.
The rooms are cozy and trendy.

I booked this hotel for a 2-​night stay during a soccer convention (at the Baltimore Convention Center located nearby). I booked through my credit card rewards program and got a great deal… I think it was about $ 180 total for both nights. I liked that it was a boutique hotel and not some corporate chain.
The staff here were pretty bad, but I’m still giving 4 stars since we really liked the hotel itself. The night before we were coming, my husband called to ask if there was any way we could do an early check-​in, as we were getting in around 7am from a redeye and would love to get some sleep. The lady on the phone was super unhelpful and didn’t even look up our reservation or place a note on our reservation, just refused to help us out. When we arrived the next morning and were super exhausted from not much sleep on the plane (the hotel was easy to get to from the airport via the light rail which was only $ 1.70), the guy at check-​in was pretty much as helpful as the lady on the phone the night prior. He insisted that there was not a single room available in the entire hotel, and that we would have to wait until at least noon. We were too exhausted to argue and had nowhere else to go, so we plopped down on the couches in the lobby. I think that did the trick, and once the guy realized we weren’t going anywhere and didn’t want us to ruin the look of the hotel by having us bum on the couches all day, a room suddenly, magically became available even though we were right next to the front desk and no one checked out. We went right up to our room, which was miraculously completely cleaned and ready for us as well.
The lobby was very nice looking, and there is a nice bakery attached to the hotel that has some good sandwiches and salads, and a bar/​kitchen in the lobby which had great food for fair prices. The elevators were nice, and our room was great. The king bed was super comfortable and we slept great during our stay. The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. Internet was also complimentary, although very slow. The location was great for us and a quick walk to the convention center and to shopping and restaurants. When we went to check out the morning that we were leaving, the guy at the front desk was again unhelpful and was unable to give us a receipt since we booked through a third party. I had never heard of that, but whatever. Despite the staff being very unhelpful, we really liked the look and feel of the hotel, the location, and the great value we had gotten.

it is ok. Not the best hotel I have ever experiended… but ok. Lots of what appears to be touristy stuff… but it is ok. A friend of mine who’s husband is being treated by Johns Hopkins for an issue that is not mine to share. However I can be there for her, and her husband as a friend. Tough time for them.

Stayed here while dad was recovering from Pancreatic cancer surgery. This place was suggested to us by the accommodation line at John Hopkins. We were told over and over again that parking was covered. Come time to check out and were were charged 375 for parking. To make matters worse, the GM found it funny that the hotel is privately owned and the buck stopped with him. If you want to deal with rude managers and HORRIBLE customer service than stay here.

Great location, apparently built in 1928, nice, but a bit quirky, and rooms lack the finer amenities… no glass cups or glasses, but paper and plastic.

I had a wonderful stay at the Lord Baltimore. My first room wasn’t exactly what I wanted and the issue was very quickly dealt with the issue. Elise Wilson was so incredibly helpful and even called to make sure that I enjoyed my experience. This will always be the hotel I use in Baltimore.

Booked a king room through Hotels. com
We checked into a queen room with a leaky toilet. Called the front desk and they would do nothing.
Had to call Hotels. com to get a new room. The front desk moved us to a king room with no AC. The rheostat would only blast hot air. We spent all night opening and closing the window.
We will NEVER stay at the hotel again!

I recently stayed at the Lord Baltimore, and had actually stayed there a few years ago in it’s previous incarnation as a Radisson. This is a standard, middle of the road hotel room– a few steps up from something like Days Inn, but not anything luxurious like the grand lobby may suggest– but honestly, I don’t think you could get a better bed for this price in this part of Baltimore. It was so, so comfortable, and I’m assuming pretty new since the hotel was recently renovated. Between the bed and large flat screen tv, I was pretty happy with my small room. The neighborhood of downtown Baltimore doesn’t have a whole lot to offer, but you are geographically poised to easily access the fun places in Baltimore by car, taxi, even by foot or the metro station across the street. But, if you want to hang out close to «home», the hotel has a nice bar, restaurant, and bakery. If you need a nice place to rest your head at a reasonable rate, I’d definitely suggest giving Lord Baltimore a look.

I don’t usually come on the internet to complain, but I was severely disappointed in this hotel. It looked quaint and lovely online, and had some good reviews. I usually enjoy staying in Historic Hotels in the DMV area.
However, while the lobby is lovely, our room was… no other way to put this, crappy. They stuck us in a handicapped room directly in front of the elevators, so we got to hear everyone coming and going. No bathtub, just a large shower – and if we wanted to shower, we would have had to use the handheld sprayer. The bathroom’s cleanliness was questionable at best – obviously has not been updated in a long time, and some moldy-​looking areas. Needless to say, as we stayed there only one night, we didn’t bother using the shower.
The beds and pillows were very soft, but almost too soft. Clearly the beds have been used a LOT.
I didn’t bother to go back down to the front desk to complain; it was my husband’s birthday and I didn’t want to waste time being persnickety and changing rooms. We were only there one night, so we dealt with it. We certainly had a lovely view… of the air conditioning unit and another building.
Basically, what a letdown. Not to mention adding insult to injury when they mistakenly charged my card for one night’s stay after I had prepaid.
Only big plus for me – self-​parking is only $ 15, cheaper than or comparable to most city parking garages. However, it is about 5 minutes away so you have to schlep your bags.
Just…I was really disappointed and I won’t bother coming back next time I’m in Baltimore.

Outstanding stay. There are three places to eat with the hotel, a nice bar, adequate gym, and walking distance to most of the places you come here to see.
The staff is extremely polite and all the renovations appear to be complete. The first impressions are lasting and this hotel does a great job at setting the tone for the rest of your stay. The rooms are nice and like others have reviewed, the shower is small and old but gets you clean!

Pretty decent stay for the price; wouldn’t recommend for long stays, or if you plan on staying in your room often, but if you just need a comfortable bed, decent water pressure and a TV — this is a nice place to fit your needs.
I’d definitely come back.

The paneled ceiling, brass stairs, and other Lobby features give the initial feel of a higher rated hotel. The rooms are just ok but a little small. The beds are comfortable. No fan in the bathroom. Although ok Overall the rooms just don’t live up to the promise of the lobby so I was a little disappointed.

Really nice lobby. Really boring room. This place looks like someone tried to put some nice finishes on a mid 2000s Marriott renovation. Not a bad deal, just not a «knock me out» hotel experience. Front desk lady was bizarre, as well.

I have been staying at this hotel for literally 20 years on and off for business; long before it was the Lord Baltimore. It was a Hilton, then Radisson, and I believe a Hilton again before «going boutique». I like the location and price — this is why it’s one of my «go to» hotels in this city I frequent.
My most recent stay was on 8÷19÷2015 and I was in town for pleasure this time; my son’s 18^th birthday and we came to see the Mets VS Orioles. There were 3 teenagers + myself and we had 2 connecting rooms. Check in was super quick, and the employees at front desk and curbside were all super friendly and helpful as I have come to expect here. Rooms had 2 queen beds each and were recently renovated, clean and comfortable. VERY good size I should add. Free internet was crawling slow, but I didn’t feel like paying to upgrade. Hey, it was just 1 night and I survived. Everything about our stay was pleasant and we booked through
for $ 120 per room. For a clean and decent hotel with 2 queen beds that’s a very fair rate in my book. So, recently updated, friendly, efficient and inexpensive — that why they earned 4 stars!
The down side; no free coffee in the lobby — need to hit the pastry shop) I’m a coffee addict and the in-​room Kureg doesn’t cut it for me). Also, at night the neighborhood can be a tad sketchy (which is why they close the front door at night) — 1 entrance only (side). There’s major construction across the street — building was demolished and not sure what will be going up but it’s not a pretty site, and many homeless have set up shop in the courtyard across the street as well. Typical urban stuff though — everywhere in every city for the most part.
Overall, one of my favorite hotels in town especially at this price point.

Despite its fancy name, this is an okay place to stay, but maybe should be called Mr. Baltimore. It’s pricey, but you’re downtown. So that is to be expected.
The folks at the front desk are friendly. The room is fine. The housekeeping…
I was able to check in early at 11am, which was impressive. The next morning when housekeeping knocked at 8:50am it made sense. She came back at 10 while I was still in my room. I felt bad for messing up her schedule, but I was working online in the room.
So the next morning, I woke up at 8 and hung a do not disturb sign on the door. I made myself some surprisingly decent coffee — it’s one of those single serve machines where you insert a little packet of coffee — ironed my clothes, got ready and finished my conference calls. At 11 I left for my conference, but first I left a tip and a thank you note for the housekeeper (important to tip housekeeping!).
I came back to the room mid afternoon to make more phone calls. And that’s when I noticed that the toilet seat was up, the toilet was clogged and my used coffee packet was floating in the bowl. Also, the staff had ignored my request not to leave any more towels, because I care about the environment, but let’s focus for now on the coffee floating in my clogged toilet.
When I told the woman at the front desk, she was bewildered. I showed her a picture and she said she would send an engineer.
I left the hotel 2 hours later having seen no engineer. When I got home at 9, the toilet was still unloved. This time, the guy at the desk radioed engineering in front of me and a very friendly engineer came promptly and fixed the problem. But nobody at the front desk seemed concerned that housekeeping had left my bathroom that way (or tried to flush coffee???). So, no harm done; but what the heck?!? Housekeeping didn’t get a tip the next day…

We went to Baltimore for a very last minute, quick 4^th of July getaway. We were looking for a hotel that was close enough for a walk to the inner harbor and was decently priced. Lord Baltimore Hotel met both of those. The pictures of the recently renovated rooms helped as well.
Overall, I was very pleased with this hotel. The staff i encountered were all kind and pleasant and very accommodating, specifically to my early check-​in and late check-​out requests. The hotel lobby was beautifully decorated and inviting. We stayed in a Deluxe King room where the over-​sized bed was comfortable and the white linens looked clean and fresh. The newly painted gray walls, blackout curtains, and dark furniture were all wonderful touches to the fairly spacious room.
One interesting thing I learned about this hotel AFTER we booked it was that it was believed to be haunted. I’m not sure I would have decided to stay here had I known this beforehand, but considering none of the reviews I read online were of terrified, screaming guests, I figured maybe it wouldn’t quite be that scary. And overall, it wasn’t.
While I will admit to leaving every single one of the lights on and to sleeping no more than 30 minutes the entire night, this was all due to my overactive imagination. At no point in our stay did I see anything resembling a little girl in a cream colored dress bouncing a red ball nor did I see a well-​dressed couple roaming the halls. I did, however, ask to stay in a room far away from the 19^th floor where the sightings supposedly happen just in case. I will say that every time we waited for an elevator, we noticed that at least one was paused for an abnormally long time on the 19^th floor. Strangely, upon checkout we learned that the entire 19^th floor has been turned into meeting rooms and there were no meetings scheduled that entire weekend. I choose to not think about that too much.
Is the hotel haunted? Probably. Did I see anything scary during my stay? No. Yes, I would recommend this hotel to others and yes, I actually would stay here again.

The Lord Baltimore seemed like a great idea on paper. A historical spot with old-​time charm and recently renovated. We thought it would be a great place to stay for a fun wedding weekend in Baltimore. We were however, very disappointed with our stay here.
Before I get to the negative parts — there were a couple good things about this hotel. The beds were really comfortable and the room was decently sized. The lobby was nice and clean.
That is about all the good things I can say about this place. First off they do not have room service available which was really annoying. Their showers were very outdated and looks like were not included in this «renovation». Not only were they outdated but they were pretty gross and I tried not to look around when I was showering.
The maid service was very rude as well. We were getting ready around 2pm when they came to clean the room. We told the lady we had to get ready for a wedding and they could not clean at this time. The lady insisted that she come in to clean and when we told her no again, she then rolled her eyes at us. Very unprofessional in my opinion.
Then on our last night of our stay, we lost power and water completely. It was like a furnace in our room and everything was out until our checkout the next day. Very miserable.
All in all, I would not recommend staying here. There are plenty of other great options in this city.

We booked a room at the Lord Baltimore for when we came into town for a wedding. The location of the hotel is quite good, you are close to the Inner Harbor if that’s your thing, you are also close to Camden Yards and a quick car or preferably Über ride to Federal Hill or Fell’s Point/​Canton. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice, the bathrooms are very bright even if they are a little dated. The maids are on top of you about whether you are leaving that day or not, they knock pretty much once a hour which is somewhat annoying and why this review isn’t 5 stars. We will probably stay here again in the fall when we have another wedding that is in Baltimore.

The Lord Baltimore hotel has old-​timey charm and history (including a historical marker out front) – It seemed like a very appropriate place to stay for exploring a historic U.S. city.
The room was smallish with contemporary décor and had obviously been freshly renovated – including the bathroom. The hotel has REAL, old-​fashioned windows that actually OPEN. (I can’t wait for the day when they begin building all hotels this way again. Sealed hotel rooms are an American phenomenon, I think, and an awful one.)
The staff were very pleasant and welcoming and the bakery downstairs had excellent pastries.
I’d definitely stay here again.

Sehr stilvolles und sauberes Hotel. Das Zimmer war sehr modern und schön eingerichtet. Die Größe passte auch. Die Betten waren ein Traum. Riesig und total gemütlich! Auch der Service war klasse. Unten immer frisches Wasser mit Obst an dem man sich bedienen konnte und im Zimmer standen auch jeden Tag zwei kostenlose Flaschen Wasser. Die Hotelangestellten waren sehr nett! Die Lage des Hotels war okay. Wir konnten zu Fuß zum Hafen laufen.

I stayed at this hotel a couple night when I was in town for a job interview. I had a room on the second floor. First of all the room was nice and seemed very clean. The window was dirty and I had a terrible view (into an alleyway) which kind of sucked. The light on the desk didn’t work and would flicker if it wasn’t unplugged which was a little creepy.
I was a bit disappointed that this hotel didn’t have any kind of room service. The bakery downstairs was fine, but I would’ve liked more than a croissant for breakfast. Their in-​house restaurant didn’t open until 11:30 so it was completely useless for breakfast.
A few people mentioned noise from the city but I was on the 7^th floor and didn’t really notice it being noisier than any other hotel in a city!
Overall, not a bad place to stay! I would recommend this hotel if you like historical hotels and don’t mind no room-​service!

Very nice, classic hotel that shows way above her listed star rating. I was not expecting the grand lobby or the excellent dining room in this reasonably priced hotel.
Friendly staff that remembers your name, five star food, and a short walk to everything you want to see in Baltimore. Highly recommend!
