The Buzz in Baltimore: Four Seasons Hotel to Open in November

There's a new hotel on the block in Baltimore. Four Seasons is building a temple to luxury on the water in Harbor East, "the city's hippest new district" (to quote the hotel's official website). Billed as a "chic, five-star, resort-like getaway," the new urban retreat is now accepting reservations starting November 20, 2011. There will be a spa to be sure (this is Four Seasons we're talking about), and a restaurant by chef Michael Mina called Wit and Wisdom, a Tavern. Forget what you see on "The Wire" (the HBO hit); Balty's getting a makeover! The city was ranked by Forbes as America's third best shopping destination in 2010.
