Such a beautiful location and hotel in general. The staff were super friendly. We were staying for five nights so they learned our faces and recognized us as we came and went. The location was a 5 minute walk from The Wharf so we were able to have a great dining experience every night.

Beautiful hotel conveniently located a 10 minute walk away from the Wharf's restaurants and shops. The staff is professional, kind, and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel for families and business travelers.

We had a wonderful stay at the Salamander DC. The location is great, within walking distance to many of the monuments. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Markus the Valet/Doorman was so friendly and kind to our family, enjoyed seeing him as we were coming and going from the hotel. Overall, we enjoyed staying at this hotel and would stay here again, The hotel itself is very clean and the rooms are comfortable.

Great spot, staff super nice and helpful. Traveled with children, first time visiting the DC area. We will come back again. Also they provided us with their Lexus for a 3 hour drive around the area, including complimentary tour to the Smithsonian museums. The best!

I stayed at this DC hotel when it was still the Mandarin Oriental. The location is ideal, the a/c is great but Salamander is not as clean and well-managed as the Mandarin Oriental was. I booked this Salamander DC hotel room a year ago knowing our Semiquincentennial would be a very busy time. Our first hotel room was not clean, the BATHROOM DIRTY & UNSANITARY. THERE WAS OLD URINE ON THE TOILET WHEN YOU LIFTED UP THE TOILET SEAT AS WELL AS BY THE BIDET HANDLE AREA. DISGUSTING. Totally unacceptable for a supposedly 5 star luxury hotel that describes itself as "refined" & "elegant", esp given the amount of money we were planning to spend/spending/spent. Needless to say the old urine was not reassuring, I wondered how clean the bed sheets, bathtub, etc. were. Waited 35 min.s but it was nice of Joelle to get us a different room. Still, bathroom cleaning was inconsistent AND SUB-PAR. Short cuts are unacceptable in luxury hotels; cleaning department doesn't seem to understand clean, luxury or the expectation they should move cleaning carts out of the way for guests. THE 5 STAR PROS who made our stay wonderful: Endy, Malik, Markus, Pong, Elsa, Adham (always warm, always welcoming, went above & beyond), Tyler (polite & professional), Dogon (although we waited 10 min.s for our table to be ready, very clean w/ extraordinary food w/ perfect service by 5 star waiter) & the Salamander Spa (CLEAN & SANITARY, Shanice was very sweet, knowledgeable & professional w/ extremely strong hands).
