I do not have the solution, but everyone seems to be under the assumption that the tank has no hot water.
As I read the original post, it is only the farthest bath that is not getting hot water. One thought is that do you have faucets (esp. bath or shower) that regulate the temperature automatically? Lots of newer ones do to prevent scalding.
If so, try adjusting them.
What's the size of the water heater? Is it gas or electric? If it's electric, I would get a new one as Joyce recommended. If it's gas, try flushing it out first, to see if it helps.
Another thing to remember is if everyone takes a bath or shower and you run the dishwasher, then you might be running out of hot water. With 4 bathrooms, you might consider two water heaters.

Water heater elements are probably bad. If the heater is pretty old it would be better and more efficient to buy a new one.

I have one hot water tank and 4 bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom furthest from the tank no longer gets hot water. The water pressure is still the same. We let the water in the faucet and tub run for up to 10 minutes, no hot water. We have been in this house for 7 years and it was fine at first. Has anyone had experience solving this problem? Thanks.
