Such a beautiful location and hotel in general. The staff were super friendly. We were staying for five nights so they learned our faces and recognized us as we came and went. The location was a 5 minute walk from The Wharf so we were able to have a great dining experience every night.

We had a wonderful stay at the Salamander DC. The location is great, within walking distance to many of the monuments. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Markus the Valet/Doorman was so friendly and kind to our family, enjoyed seeing him as we were coming and going from the hotel. Overall, we enjoyed staying at this hotel and would stay here again, The hotel itself is very clean and the rooms are comfortable.

The Salamander DC is the very best kind of posh. By that I mean that yes, the place is one marble floor or stunning sculpture after another, and the hotel room is vast and gorgeous...but the absolute best thing about it is the universal smile and willing spirit from every member of the staff. If you ever wondered if it was possible to find a hotel (or ANY business!) where every person seems to actually be glad to see you...step up to the Salamander. I enjoyed every moment of my stay!

Only negative was The Lounge for breakfast is a nice buffet assortment but eggs, pancakes, bacon, oatmeal all cold. Did not return for breakfast the next two mornings we were there. but did give lunch a try and it was good.
