Salamander Resort & Spa

Wonderful place to stay while in Middleburg. Downtown has great shops. It was too hot for horses but that just means we need to return.

Salamander continues to impress. We have been here countless times as it is one of our favorite places. And we had part of our wedding here. Why? Because every single detail is intentional & well thought out. For example, the bartenders at Gold Cup make some of the most delicious drinks we’ve ever had with thoughtful & fresh ingredients. The “study” area where you can have a cocktail or read is so relaxing. The fact it’s nearby fantastic wineries is the cherry on top. No, the cherry on top is the fact there’s a free car service that will drive you to those wineries (but don’t forget to tip your driver - common courtesy!). 10/10 stay as always. Come here and don’t think twice about it.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at Salamander Middleburg, and every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. Check-In & Check-Out 
A special thank you to Emma for making our check-in experience seamless and welcoming. She provided helpful information about the resort and ensured we had everything we needed to start our stay. Check-out was equally smooth, quick, and efficient. Room & Housekeeping
 Our room was impeccably clean and comfortable throughout our stay. The housekeeping team was attentive every day, keeping our towels stocked, the bed neatly made, and the room refreshed. It was always a pleasure returning to such a well-maintained space after a day of exploring and activities. Gold Cup Wine Bar
 Wow! Larbi and Misty made our evenings at the Gold Cup Wine Bar truly unforgettable. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and provided exceptional service throughout our visits. While everything we ordered was fantastic, the wings, ribeye, and tacos were especially delicious and highly recommended. Harrimans
 Harrimans is an outstanding restaurant that delivers both exceptional cuisine and top-tier service. Mohamed was incredibly attentive and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The chef also sent additional complimentary items to our table, which was a thoughtful and appreciated touch. Management stopped by to ensure everything was perfect, further demonstrating the restaurant’s commitment to guest satisfaction. From the immaculate atmosphere to the high-end dining experience, everything was superb. The Hoppin' John was absolutely delicious. Pool 
The newly upgraded pool is absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect place to spend a relaxing day poolside, enjoying comfortable seating, refreshing drinks, and the resort’s stunning surroundings. Overall
 From the accommodations and dining experiences to the outstanding service provided by the staff, our stay at Salamander Middleburg was exceptional. We left feeling relaxed, well cared for, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

This was one of the bet resort stays that I've ever had. The staff was helpful and friendly. The amenities are impeccable and the equestrian center experience was phenomenal for the kids.

Overall, the property is beautiful, but we were disappointed by several aspects of our stay, especially since we were celebrating our anniversary. First, our family had arranged a surprise gift for our room—a gift card, chocolate-covered strawberries, and champagne. Before arriving, I called to ask if our room was ready and was told by Sharief that it would be. However, when we arrived, we were informed it was not ready. Although we were switched to another room, the surprise was no longer waiting for us upon arrival, which was disappointing. Second, one of the main reasons we chose this resort was the complimentary Lexus transportation service. Earlier that day we used it to visit wineries and were told to simply come downstairs about five minutes before leaving for our dinner reservation. We came down at 7:20 p.m. for our 7:45 reservation and were told the first available car wasn't until 8:00 p.m. There were six Lexus vehicles parked outside and no guests waiting, yet we were told they could not accommodate us. As a result, my husband had to walk through the rain to retrieve our car, drive into town, find parking, and drive back after dinner. This completely defeated the convenience and luxury we expected. Lastly, we booked the Time for Two couples massage experience, spending approximately $800 including gratuity. While the massages themselves were enjoyable, the spa facilities afterward were disappointing. The indoor soaking tub filled with yellow water and had a spider in it. The outdoor hot tub had numerous ants around the edge, along with debris and bugs in the water. This was not the level of cleanliness or quality we expected from a luxury resort and spa experience. While we enjoyed many aspects of the property, these issues significantly impacted what was meant to be a special anniversary celebration.
