<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/fourseasonsbaltimoresuite.jpg" class="top"> When we last checked in with the upcoming <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+Baltimore/local/4907">Four Seasons Baltimore</a>, we saw that their website was using stock photos of the guest rooms at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/8/26/124657/543/hotels/The_Four_Seasons_Seattle_Has_Apparently_Been_Transplanted_to_Baltimore">Four Seasons Seattle</a>. Yet with the hotel just one week away from opening, we are relieved to see that their guest rooms are all theirs. Above is a Four Seasons Executive Suite with a harbor view. It sure is pretty with its floor to ceiling windows, sofabed, deep-soaking bathtub, two 40" flat screen LCDs (with another in the bathroom) and get this, a universal phone charger. Hallelujah. We hope more hotels start adding these to their amenities soon.We couldn't actually make a rezzie online for opening day on November

Baltimore: Four Seasons Baltimore Opening November 20 at $359 a Night

Looks like we owe you guys some money! Back in December we bet the forthcoming Four Seasons Baltimore would probably open in early 2012 instead of late 2011 but guess what? The hotel is now accepting reservations for November 20...2011.

A city view room is going for $359 a night while the marina view rooms are slightly more at $399 a night. All rooms include complimentary coffee, tea and pastries in the lobby from 5:30 am to 8:00am as well as fresh fruit at check-in and bottled water if you valet your car.

<![CDATA[You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>.

The luxury hotel chain is set to open in Baltimore, Maryland in late 2011. The 18-story hotel in the Harbor East district next to the Legg Mason tower will have 256 rooms and suites. There are also plans to put residences on top of the hotel but according to the <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/real-estate/bs-bz-four-seasons-funding-20101229,0,1933929.story">Baltimore Sun</a>, the hotel portion will be finished first. Currently, the concrete superstructure and the glass "skin" of the hotel are already finished but the hotel's developers have only just completed enough financing to start working on the interiors. They are aiming for
