    King suite
    Amanda B.

    I stayed at Kimpton Hotel Monaco the night of my wedding. We had a room block with the hotel and Jennifer was great to work with from start to finish. The hotel is newly renovated and very clean. Beds are super comfy. We ate breakfast at the restaurant and it was really good. There are a few cons, not enough to deter me from staying here again, but worth sharing. -There is no self park option through this hotel, only valet which is very expensive ($55/night). We received a small discount for having a room block. -The king suites aren't that much larger than a standard two bedroom hotel room so unless you're specifically looking for a living area space, I'd skip the suite. -If you're interested in taking photos at this hotel, you have to pay an hourly fee unless you have secure a certain amount of hotel rooms via a hotel block. Overall we enjoyed our stay! Will definitely to at least to try out the dinner menu of the restaurant.

    We stayed here for a night while attending an event nearby and we really enjoyed our stay. I read the reviews after staying and did not have the similar experience many seem to have had. I thought the hotel was clean, beautifully decorated, and the staff we interacted with were all friendly and helpful. Our room was a little on the small side and a bit dated, but it fit the old, historic post office near the White House vibe. It was in a central location, close to museums, restaurants, and transportation.

    With the bustle of rush hour traffic, the staff greeted us warmly and the parking valet saved us the hassle of finding parking for the next couple of days. The associates at the check in desk greeted us with a snack and a choice of red or white wine. Our room keys didn't work on the elevator at first but that was quickly remedied. The hotel staff were awesome! They went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable during our event weekend. Our meeting ballroom was comfortable for our meetings and fellowships. The breakfast with omelette station was enjoyed by everyone! Gym area is large enough for about 30 people max to exercise. There is a small cooler for bottled water and an area for hotel supplied towels.

    i wish i had better pictures of my room. however the pictures i see dnt do justice, im assuming they recently remolded bc our room was so nice fresh clean and aesthetically pleasing. i did find a few hairs in the bathroom but hey thats better than piss or poop not being properly cleaned up. when you walk i. it gives historic vibes but as soon as you go up to your room it gives modern vibes! a lot of times in citys the hotels are so small but this hotel had more than enough space/breathing room.

    Review: Kimpton Hotel, Baltimore We stayed in both a king room and a suite -- both were great, though the suite was definitely our favorite (wish it had a bathtub, though). Our stay got off to a rough start because the first room we were given was really dirty -- mismatched yellow towels, random hairs in the bed (which we found while checking for pests), and lots of dusty spots that should have been cleaned more thoroughly. Thankfully, the staff was responsive and moved us to a different room, which was much better. Once settled, we appreciated the comfortable setup and dog-friendly vibe inside the hotel. It's a sensible place for traveling with pets -- inside feels safe and calm -- but outside can feel a little dodgy, especially at night. The in-room amenities and coffee/tea setup were just okay, and we didn't get to try the evening wine reception. The lobby is located on the 2nd floor -- you can take the elevator or a set of stunning (but steep and possibly slippery) marble stairs. I recommend the elevator. Security is visible, which was reassuring -- one guard even had to step in when someone bothered us outside. Walking dogs in the area isn't ideal, and the second-floor lobby setup also makes deliveries a little awkward, so it helps to coordinate with the front desk and drivers. Valet parking is a bit tight with limited space out front, but overall, the hotel is very convenient if you're heading to events at the downtown arena.

    This hotel is very very beautiful. Also very close to the harbor so you could go sightseeing without walking too far. This hotel is very clean very prestige. The marlin the decor everything about it is beautiful. Customer service was great. The rooms was clean had big beautiful windows I cannot complain. The price for the room was decent. It was an overly priced and my favorite part in the afternoon they gave you complementary wine for an hour. That was a plus for me I had a wonderful stay.

    beautiful wedding venue

    This is a beautifully styled hotel! The 1st floor/ground floor is very grand and has a few sitting areas and a restaurant. The lobby is on the 2nd floor, which is accessible via the large opulent staircase or the guest elevators. The 3rd floor has the banquet halls. We lucked out and got a room on the 12th floor near the elevators. The room was spacious with plenty of lighting. However, there was only one small trash can for the entire room, and it was located in the bathroom. overall the room seemed kinda bare, but it did contain a workstation desk, an extra sitting chair, and wall to ceiling mirror. Oh, and the air conditioner stopped working the next morning, but overall the room was clean and the bedding was surprisingly comfortable. Overall, the hotel has a very grand fabulous boutique-look and the venue is spacious. Valet parking is also readily available out front, but you'll likely have to go inside to get the attendant's attention. I like the option to either charge the valet parking to your room, or pay at the attendant station-which is what I opted to do. Check-in and check-out were seamless and courtesy, and the housekeepers, the doormen, and the car attendants were all very amiable and professional. Pro tip: you have to quickly swipe your room key in and out of the slot to work the elevators. Its a bit tricky, but you'll see what I mean!

    Stayed on the 12th floor city view for a wedding. Very interesting architecture in an old building....lots of marble; just beautiful! We had a great time and really enjoyed the building; love the spacious rooms, which were very clean. Conveniently located close to the inner harbor and not too far from other Baltimore attractions like Canton and Fells Point. Only 8 minutes from Harbor East no and my favorite restaurant- BarOne. Con- No in-room coffee/tea options - you need to go to lobby which has it available from 7am (or close to) onward

    I have no idea how this hotel is 4.5 stars! It's 3 at best. There was so much going on when we walked into the building. Lots of maintenance (not routine) and fixing up. The elevators weren't working so we had to use the service elevator. The night staff seemed frazzled maybe due to the disarray of the hotel. This was a Sunday evening. We were checked into an ADA room (not my preference nor was it needed). I've stayed at other Kimpton Hotels and have always enjoyed them, so I was really looking forward to our stay here. Perhaps my hopes were too high? It left much to be desired and I did not feel it was worth the money nor the star rating.

He was engaging, charismatic, and clearly knew the property and its history inside and out. That kind of welcome makes a difference. We were in Suite 18, which sits in a separate tower connected to the spa. The room itself was well appointed. You can tell nothing in there was inexpensive, and everything was fresh and well maintained, no wear, no chipped paint, nothing neglected. If I'm being honest, some of styling is starting to feel a touch dated in places, but that's a matter of taste more than quality. One note, and to be totally fair it was an unbelievably hot day: when we returned from dinner the room was in the mid to high 70s, and it took about an hour and a half to cool down. The staff explained we needed to lower the thermostat in 2-degree increments rather than setting it straight to our target, and they were right, it worked. Still, that's a bit of a workaround at this price point. A lovely property with genuinely gracious service. We'd stay again.

We were assigned a room on the same floor as the lobby, just past the fitness center. From the outside it was as if we were on the second floor. Our single bed was quite wide, the ceiling above the bed was very high, but the bathroom was small, had no spare toilet paper, and only two hooks to hang anything, which made it tough to hang clean clothing and towels to dry for two guests who do not share towels. Speaking of which, towels provided were limited, so when I found a stain on my bath towel and requested a fresh one, they brought me a whole set. After our time here I saw a video by theholdernessfamily mentioning hotel bathrooms with barn doors that don't close tightly. I didn't realize that was a thing. But it proved true here!

The hotel is impressive in its scale, but more importantly, it is clean and well maintained. Sometimes, various Marriotts, Hiltons, and other chains can let their flagship property in a city become dated and dusty, knowing that people will stay there regardless for various events. Not here - everything was polished and elegant. Our hotel room was spacious, with comfortable beds and perhaps some of the best views we've had in years. On the 12th floor, our view happened to include what seemed like all of Baltimore proper, including its waterfront. Better yet, there was a couch placed near the window, so you could have a scenic view as you curl up with a book! The water pressure in the shower was some sort of "rainfall" setup but functionally terrible.

I should have known to lower my expectations and suspect something was awry when I noticed the wilted flowers in the foyer. Apparently, the flowers are refreshed on Thursdays, so I just arrived on the wrong day. But there should never be a wrong day to arrive at the Four Seasons! The air in the hotel lobby was hot and stagnant; I was expecting a cool and aromatic experience upon entry, similar to the Intercontinental or the Sonesta. I tried to ignore the decaying flowers because I was greeted warmly by the doormen and the front desk. I was surprised that I had to ask for slippers as I presumed those, mouthwash, and other toiletries would already be in the room. None of those items were in my room. Shockingly, the robe in my room was dirty! Housekeeping apologized and replaced it within 15 minutes. I was also surprised by how rough the towels were as I am used to Frette and linens of that ilk. This is also supposed to be a resort & spa hotel but it did not feel that way at all. I was also surprised by the brand of soaps and hair products they use here: they smelled like clay. The lotion left a gritty feel on the skin. The products were French (called Codage): Je n'aime pas ça. I went to the gym and was surprised they did not have bar pads for the barbells. If the Portland Harbor Hotel can offer pads for the gym equipment, the Four Seasons can too! In fact, I'm surprised they did not have weightlifting gloves. I was happy to see the orange-infused water and the scented & pre-moistened cold compress clothes. That was nice. The pool was closed for the season, so I could not do that. There was a complimentary sound bath session that I could not partake in since I did not order my room directly with the hotel. I'm not that thirsty for a sound bath but I was hoping to take a regular bath; the hotel does not offer bubble bath. The Portland Harbor Hotel does! I decided to take a shower instead but the faucets are not property calibrated: the hot water is cold & the cold water is hot. Then I tried to rest but I kept hearing doors slam at night and more slamming in the morning. I just assumed it was other guests (since there was a convention this week), but when I went to check-out, I noticed the hotel staff slam a door to a room that only hotel staff have access to near the elevators, you can hear the slams at each end of the hotel corridor. This hotel needs to invest in sound mitigation. I was really hoping for a far better stay as I was contemplating a work retreat here. This was my first experience at a Four Seasons property and it was shockingly disappointing. Baltimore deserves better. This felt more like 2 & half Seasons.

So, to say the least, the location of the hotel is terrible unless the city cleans up the streets and straighten out the community. Inside the hotel, people were helpful and nice. Everywhere inside is too dark. It might be on purpose but it give creepy vibes or didn't pay electric bills vibe. The intended vibe is supposed to be very baltimore and i can see why. The room is clean and nice. Still dark. The bed is soft and comfortable. Outlets are a complaint for me. I had to move take and chair to the corner of the room to plug in. Bathroom is clean as far as I can tell. My only complaint in the bathroom is when showering, occasionally the water unexpectedly becomes scorching hot. Maybe someone flushed on the other room but I got temporary burn right in the face so be careful. The ash bar was the only food spot inside the hotel. Dinner was alright but I'd pass on breakfast here. Overall, it is a decent hotel in a bad neighborhood. I wouldn't come back mainly because of the neighborhood. Baltimore is just overall in rough shape.
