The Visitation Frederick Hotel represents a remarkable transformation of a historic Catholic all-girls school into an elegant boutique hotel, seamlessly blending heritage with modern luxury. This mixed-use development breathes new life into the campus of the former Visitation Academy, a storied institution founded in 1846, now reimagined as a vibrant cultural and community destination.

The property, originally a convent and school until 2005, later became a private educational facility that closed in 2016. Today, the hotel pays homage to its rich history by incorporating preserved architectural elements. The chapel’s original stained-glass windows, for instance, have been thoughtfully reinterpreted through a contemporary yet understated design approach. These historic features coexist with modern touches, ensuring the project aligns with the brand standards of a global hospitality company.

The Visitation Frederick Hotel offers 65 exquisitely designed guest rooms, including nine extended-stay options. Amenities include a full-service spa and fitness center, an intimate performance venue, and a sophisticated restaurant and bar. Wye Oak Tavern, led by a top chef, features a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen designed for the demands of fine dining, offering a seamless culinary experience that supports a diverse menu and a professional kitchen team. Meeting spaces on-site accommodate small groups, making the property an ideal venue for intimate gatherings or corporate events. Beyond the hotel, three condominium buildings are under development as part of the mixed-use concept, with one completed and two in progress, further enriching the revitalized campus.
