Salamander Washington DC
1330 Maryland Avenue SW
Washington, DC
20024
Nearest Airport: DCA
I chose the Salamander DC specifically for its proximity to the Tidal Basin and its status as an Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR) property to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary. I was seeking a true 5-star experience, but my stay was far below those standards and deeply unprofessional. At check-in, I was told my room had been upgraded as an FHR benefit, but I was given a room on the 3rd floor directly facing a noisy construction site. Despite the staff mentioning the hotel wasn’t busy for a Monday, I was assigned one of the least desirable rooms, making the "upgrade" feel like a gesture in name only. The lack of hospitality continued at the lounge—the only dining option open—where the service was unacceptable. The servers were cold, silent, and provided sloppy service. Most shocking was seeing guests being seated at neighboring tables that were visibly dirty and un-wiped; such a lack of basic hygiene is inexcusable for a luxury property. I was also looking forward to a high-quality breakfast, but was surprised by an unannounced buffet that was mentioned nowhere on the website or at check-in. The food quality was comparable to a budget hotel, yet I was still charged a service fee despite there being virtually no actual service provided. The final disappointment came at check-out. The receptionists were too occupied chatting with each other to even acknowledge me properly. They processed my key with only a robotic "you are all set, have a nice day"—without a "thank you," any eye contact, or even a simple inquiry about how my stay was. Salamander DC failed to meet even the most basic requirements of a 5-star hotel. It was a thoroughly unpleasant way to spend a special milestone, and I strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you are seeking genuine luxury and care.

Overall the building itself is nice but I feel the hotel is poorly coordinated, and you can notice the inconveniences build up. For example we left for many hours for them to clean our room and we specifically left the label for a cleaning, however for the entire duration of our trip not once did we receive clean dry towels, water, etc. Also if you plan on getting valet parking I would advise against it for they charged us 90 dollars a night, which I find to be an outrageously high price. When you leave the hotel there is construction in every direction with a constant sound of metal hitting metal. Overall I would come to the Salamander for a quick brief stay.

The room was clean, though it faced a grey wall of a building so not the most uplifting. The lobby smelled either of fragrance or the really musty smell they were trying to cover it up with. The pool was small but nice but full of kids. The vibe of the restaurant wasn't my thing. Parking was hard for my friend visiting. The location was pretty nice but I did need to drive to most things.

While the rooms were reasonably clean, the overall experience did not align with 5-star expectations. The check-in process was excessively slow. There were lack of communications between management and front-line staff. Furthermore, the property is showing its age and would benefit from a renovation to meet modern luxury standards. Given the caliber of this hotel, I expected a much higher level of service.

Our stay at the Salamander Washington DC was truly exceptional. We were visiting Washington, DC during cherry blossom season and chose this property specifically for its proximity to the Tidal Basin—a decision that made all the difference. The location allowed us to visit the blossoms multiple times throughout the day, capturing them in different lighting conditions, which was a highlight of our trip. The views from the room complemented the experience beautifully. The staff were consistently warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. Their recommendations for nearby attractions and dining options were thoughtful and genuinely enhanced our stay. A special mention to the spa experience—I opted for a grooming session, and the beard shaping was done with great precision and care. Definitely worth trying. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and offered excellent views, contributing to a quiet, restful atmosphere throughout our stay. Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable getaway, and I would highly recommend this hotel—especially during cherry blossom season.

Not up to the standards of our stay at previously booked luxury link hotels. No in room coffee bar, no mini bar, blamed everything on Covid, and they were a new hotel, we would not stay there again. Definitely not 5 star, location good, no ice maker you had to call for it.
