Michael Mina's Wit & Wisdom anchors the dining floor; The Bygone on the 29th floor aims that same fort sightline. Eight condo floors added later produced a 6,500-square-foot penthouse that sold for $8 million in 2021, a city condo record.

History
Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore opened in November 2011 as a 30-story glass tower at 200 International Drive, rising from the Harbor East neighborhood on Baltimore's Inner Harbor waterfront. The building was purpose-built as a luxury hotel and branded residential development, one of the most significant hospitality investments in Baltimore since the Inner Harbor's transformation from derelict industrial waterfront to the city's commercial and tourism center beginning in the 1970s and 1980s. Harbor East itself represented a second phase of that transformation — a mixed-use neighborhood of high-end retail, restaurants, and residential towers that extended the Inner Harbor's appeal beyond Harborplace into the blocks immediately to the east.
The hotel's position on the waterfront gives it a direct sightline across the harbor to Fort McHenry, the star-shaped federal fortification where, on the night of September 13–14, 1814, Francis Scott Key watched the British bombardment of Baltimore from a prisoner-exchange vessel anchored in the harbor and was moved to write the poem that became 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' The view from The Bygone, the hotel's 29th-floor restaurant and bar led by chef Mackenson Horebe, is perhaps the most patriotically charged harbor view available from any hotel bar on the eastern seaboard — the fort visible directly across the water against the Maryland sky. The Inner Harbor was the colonial-era port where Baltimore's commercial identity was established, and Fort McHenry was built precisely to defend that port.
The hotel holds the AAA Four Diamond distinction and underwent a multi-phase renovation beginning in late 2025. Two outdoor infinity pools on the waterfront terrace, a full-service spa with water therapies, and the Splash Pool Bar & Grill complete a property that has established itself as Baltimore's premier luxury address since its opening.
