The hotel is beautiful, very clean. Very close to the Cherry Blossom Festival and the Wharf. The breakfast at the hotel is expensive but it is really good. The bed especially the pillows are 5*. Very clean hotel, rooms and the employees are super nice especiallt the greeters and the front doors. I have photos to show, but they are save on my cell.

Eskedar has been helpful and accommodating! The service I have received made my family vacation memorable and enjoyable all thanks to Eskedar and her team! Kudos to Salamander and their great team we will definitely comeback and look forward for Eskedar's service.

To say that the rooms and amenities were excellent wouldn’t be doing them justice. They are. All the staff went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Of special note, Eskedar, a front desk staffer, made our stay special. Her friendly demeanor, great conversation and recommendations, and her willingness to help in any way was so very much appreciated by us. From check-in to check-out, all the Salamander staff and Eskedar in particular, made our trip to DC unforgettable and a wonderful experience.

I had such high hopes ... and they were all dashed. The property is dated, and they are charging full freight despite the significant construction noise. No need to set your alarm - they'll wake you with all of the banging! Rooms and bathrooms are dated. The renovation is much needed, but good grief - start the work later in the mornings and maybe offer discounted rates if you're going to stick people in old, crummy rooms with non-functioning AC / heat. Also, I booked at a rate that was significantly lower than I was charged, and the front desk was unable or unwilling to resolve this issue. I would not return. I really wanted to like it.

Wonderful stay for the Washington Bar Association Annual Law Day Dinner. The ballroom, catered food and the ambience were splendid.
