Baltimore’s Harbor East is a district with an emerging
personality of posh shopping, dining, culture and business that embellishes the
city’s underlying core character of resilience and strength as one of America’s
historic industrial centers. Along the harbor shore, Baltimore now boasts one
of Four Seasons' newest and most stylish facilities. Four Seasons is known for its upscale hotels,
and this 256-room, 21-story harbor side project sets the bar even higher with
the luxe accommodations of an exclusive destination spa resort. Downtown
Baltimore’s changing personality welcomed the 10,000 square foot spa and 45
suites along the harbor in November 2011 to compliment the new theatres, cafes,
fancy eateries and upscale shops. The spa’s imaginative design has at its core
a particularly unique feature shaping its innovative and structurally
state-of-the-art identity.
HKS Architects, Inc designed the project with Inner Harbor
views and the impact of natural light to define its sophistication. The spa’s
wet treatment space is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling harbor view windows
allowing for the relaxation rooms to beam with glowing and rejuvenating natural
light. The men’s and women’s separate relaxation areas each include steam rooms
with starscape lighting, saunas, experience showers with different mood and
flow settings, ice fountains, tiled heated loungers and vitality pools with
individual tube loungers all designed and built by Bradford Products. Their
bright reflective tile surfaces enhance the room light adding to the guests’
unique spa experience.
What sets Four Seasons Baltimore apart is behind the
finished scene. Underneath the elegant surfaces, each of the thermal rooms,
pools and loungers are fabricated in durable and hygienic stainless steel. The
aquatic engineering and construction of the spa features were delivered in
stainless steel form and with elegantly tiled finishes by Bradford Products. The
project’s architects and designers collaborated with Bradford’s stainless steel
water design experts to create a uniquely sustainable, low maintenance spa
experience with structural advantages.
