Belvedere Hotel, Historic hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Belvedere Hotel is a Beaux-Arts building at the corner of North Charles Street and East Chase Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The interiors display ballrooms with high ceilings, chandeliers, and wood paneling, while the facade shows columns, ornamental balconies, and terracotta details.
The building opened in 1903 as Baltimore's first luxury hotel and was designed by architects Parker and Thomas. For decades it served as a meeting place for wealthy families, senior politicians, and well-known artists from across the country.
The name refers to a viewing point and reflects the building's position on a hill in northern Baltimore. The building has long served as a venue for social gatherings, from weddings to political receptions that shaped the city's public life.
The entrance is located on North Charles Street, a few steps from several bus stops. A public parking garage is available nearby, and the public areas are accessible during opening hours.
The upper floors were converted into apartments from 1991 onward, while the lower levels continue to host events and receptions. Visitors can walk through the lobby and public rooms, where many of the original fixtures have been kept.
