We really enjoyed our stay at Salamander. Room was very nice and everything looked new. Food was good but a bit expensive. The hotel has a great location, you can walk to the wharf on one side and the all the monuments on the other, and you also have two Metro stations really close. A great option to stay in DC.

Salamander DC has beautiful rooms, elegant dining and meeting spaces, and great views. My wife and I stayed for a couple nights celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary and enjoyed every minute. We did everything from the spa, diner at Dogon, used the fitness center, took a dip in the pool, and relaxed in our comfortable suite. Staff was attentive and always helpful. We’ll be back.
