Breakfast was poor for a luxury resort. Not even cheese was available and not even an omlette station was there. Poor fruit selections. They could do better with their spa treatments specifically the facial.

From the first interaction with the Valet, each interaction with the staff exuded a commitment to outstanding service. Professional, courteous, and considerate, we were made to feel as if we were the most important and appreciated guests in DC. Curated class and elegance, the Salamander of Washington DC is a gem!

The Salamander franchise remains undefeated in hospitality. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful and the rooms are exceptional yet approachable. I enjoyed the soaking tub and it’s beautiful staging in the bathroom! I also thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. The chef honored my requests and my food was exceptional and it arrived hot! They also delivered my tea before bed. It’s not cheap to stay for, but the Salamander is a testament to the finer things in life…and that what you pay in money you will be rewarded with an invaluable experience. I cannot wait to return!

The staff of the Salamander were exceptional. From the minute we arrived we were treated to like valued guests. Every interaction we had with the people of this hotel, from the bellman, the front desk, the hosts and servers at the restaurant was outstanding. Our room was quiet and comfortable.
