Salamander Resort & Spa

I stayed at the Salamander Resort - Middleburg in January for my birthday and was treated like a queen. The service is top-tier and the Spa is amazing! I was seeking a peaceful location where I could rest, reflect, be refreshed, rejuvenated & pour into myself during my birthday selfcare staycation and the Salamander exceeded my expectations. I received a complimentary upgrade from their Estate King room to their Dressage Suite and many more complimentary gifts throughout my stay from dining services (Harrimans and the Gold Cup Wine Bar). Their customer service was excellent from the time I checked-in through check-out whether I was engaging with the front desk, their Lexus car service, in-room dining, in person dining services or their amazing spa where I received two services. The food was delicious at Harrimans Grill and The Gold Cup Wine Bar where all staff provided superb service. I was treated like royalty, and I will definitely be returning soon. If you’re looking for a good place to pour into yourself and love on yourself whether it be for your birthday or just because, try the Salamander in Middleburg, you will not be disappointed!

Beautiful resort! Impeccably designed with attention to every detail. Staff is wonderful and welcoming. My daughter and I went for a birthday lunch and it was delicious. Waiter, Samuel was very attentive and made the dining experience a very pleasant one.

I recently stayed at the resort from Sunday to Monday for a quick weekend getaway from D.C. This was my second visit to Salamander Resort, and I wanted my partner to experience the property as well. We truly enjoyed our time—horseback riding, dining at the restaurant, and relaxing in the Living Room were all wonderful experiences. However, I did encounter one issue during our stay that I’d like to bring to your attention. While in our room, I discovered a stink bug on the nightstand. In attempting to remove it, it unfortunately escaped before I was able to catch it. A short while later, it reappeared, and I was eventually able to catch and kill it. Since it was quite late, I decided not to contact the front desk that night but reported the incident twice the following morning. The response I received both times was rather dismissive. I even handed the bug—sealed in a small bag—to the front desk associate during checkout, but the only acknowledgement was that the room would be checked before the next guest’s arrival. Given the nightly rate of approximately $500, I had expected a more attentive or empathetic response. While I was not requesting compensation, one would have been nice. I wanted to share this feedback in hopes it contributes to maintaining the high standards associated with the Salamander name. Overall, despite this inconvenience, we enjoyed our visit and continue to appreciate the resort’s ambiance and amenities. I always aim to provide both positive and constructive feedback so that future guests can enjoy an even better

10/10 exceptional service, food, and spa. Perfect getaway. Amazing staff who go above and beyond to make you happy. Beautiful location and facilities.

Very mixed experience - *'Very good - rooms, valet and cleaning staff. TIP: If you want quiet and privacy - a winter retreat here is nice. **Very limited choices on food and wine at Gold Cup Wine Bar. Was really disappointed in wine list. TIP: if you are vegan or vegetarian, serving staff are good at suggesting how to change entrees to meet your needs. Do not think the kitchen has any vegan prep capabilities. ***Really disappointing - a very western, rich (but not knowledgeable) person's spa. No Thai massage, no reiki or reflexology and no Ayurvedic treatments. Just 'spa slop.' Further - no space or sessions for yoga, meditation or any other eastern wellness practices. The vibe is - what we offer is western and since it is expensive, it must be good. TIP: none here. See the picture of the lighted horse statue on the grounds next to the Harriman restaurant we took at night - really haunting and beautiful.
