This was our first time at the DC Salamander (I have been to the one in Virginia a couple times, including with my child). I brought my child here for a staycation, in the middle of snowmageddon, because we were tired of being cooped up in the house and I wanted a change of scenery that involved a pool. They did not disappoint. The pool is indoors, which was perfect for what we needed. It is also heated (though, in 10 degree weather, "heated" was definitely relative). The rooms were clean, beautiful and nicely sized. The bathrooms were HUGE and the soaking tubs were so luxurious. Perfect for a post snowy day soak. We ordered room service for breakfast and it was delicious. The staff was so friendly and treated my child and me with a lot of kindness and grace. Would definitely recommend and return.

The hotel was amazing. #1 The staff were very polite, helpful and attentive. Room and hotel were very clean and well maintained. Brunch on Saturday was full of choices and kept fresh. Many healthy options. Only difficulty was that the main bar and restaurant were small and options limited for menue choices. Few tables available, service slow. Difficult with children to find other options for food and snacks other than the one main dining option.

Not only was the property beautiful, clean and inviting, Salamander's customer service should be a global standard! They left no stone unturned in terms of exceeding my requests and needs. Let's get into the food, too. Dogon was AMAZING as usual, but the in-room dining, brunch experience was to live for as well. From check-in to check-out, top-tier luxury was served!!!

Everything was very nice. expected a little more luxury for the price .Our room was far from the elevator and our view was a garage construction. my husband was in crutches so you would think they would not have made us walk so far. The people were amazing in their treatment and I would stay again
