History

The Lord Baltimore Hotel was designed by William Lee Stoddard and it officially opened on the 30th of December 1928. At the time of its construction, the hotel was the largest hotel in the state of Maryland. It is made with brick veneer over a steel frame. The mansard roof, which has turned green with age, can still be seen today.

Lord Baltimore Hotel was the brainchild of Harry Busick. After his death, his three sons took over the hotel and sold it for $7 million to H.R. Weissberg. The hotel went up for auction in 1969 after Weissberg filed for bankruptcy in 1967. For some time, the hotel had restrictive policies for guests. In 1958, despite the failure of the Baltimore City Council to pass legislation to end racial segregation in public accommodations, the Lord Baltimore Hotel voluntarily ended its restrictive guest policies. Today, the Lord Baltimore Hotel is owned and operated by Rubell Hotels of Miami, Florida.
