My stay was absolutely amazing being met by bellman who were very accommodating. The front desk was very friendly and professional and guided us through checking in. The room was absolutely stunningly beautiful with a great view.

No minibars in rooms and poor buffet breakfast doesn't allow me to classifie this hotel as 5-star hotel.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The lowest point was that the crib we requested had a piece of metal sticking out into the sleeping area and was obviously dangerous. The temperature in the room also seemed to rarely match the thermostat as we alternated between sweating and freezing. But the staff were fabulous and the indoor pool was my son’s favorite part of the trip.

Ordered room service and for this to be a 5 star hotel, the food was sub par. We didnt eat it. Spa service was unavailable. Other than that room was nice and clean.

We had a water view room that was amazing

the check-out was probably the worst experience I have had at a hotel. I asked twice for the extension to 1pm to check out and every time was told no but no explanation was given. I travel bicoastal and overseas all throughout the year and never has a hotel not given an explanation as to why a late checkout could not occur. I also was apart of a wedding which over 20-30 rooms were filled with wedding guests and the wedding party. so attempting to check out as fast as 11am was not possible given all of the festivities. this occurred twice even when I extended my stay another night.

Stayed for 2-nights at the tail end of a post-work conference mini-vacation with my wife. The location could not have been any better, within walking distance of all the monuments, museums, restaurants, bars, etc. The property was very well kept and the room was fantastic. Staff were very accommodating and excited to help. The hotel was undergoing a refresh of some of the rooms, but we hardly noticed. Rates were a bit pricey, and parking was just the same (valet only, $79/night), but everything else delivered on our expectations. I would definitely stay here again and I would definitely recommend, especially for any D.C. first timers like myself (assuming they keep it affordable).

Enjoyed our stay here. There were a few areas in the room that came across as awaiting renovation or replacement, but the room was quite lovely overall. Wish there was a hot tub, but the pool was nice. Staff was excellent and extremely professional and courteous. The valet parking was very highly priced.

We loved our stay! The room was so clean and dining was excellent. Thank you so much!

Amazing staff. Very relaxing environment. Really close to the Wharf and all of the attractions.

Salamander is over priced for its offerings. They have a $160 hold charge per night and yet cannot draw any charges to the room from it. So you pay your full bill and you have an additional $160 per night hold at the end of checkout. It’s ridiculous. The spa massage was great even without the full facilities. Its really good. However you have no discretion on tipping. Another thing that blew my mind was there was no tea or coffee in the room. For a hotel of this calibre the complimentary amenities were pretty sparce. It definitely dampened my ability to unwind for the weekend. Service is also pretty slow so if you need anything for the room, be prepared to call multiple times and wait a while! So would I stay again, nah. The shortcomings dampened a staycation - like the hotel service undid the relaxation of the masseuse. The grounds of the stairs leading to the wharf can be cleaner too and free of trash

The DC property was undergoing renovation and the staff bent over backwards to make up for any inconveniences, which were relatively minor. Rooms are very nice, great food, great staff

The location was amazing and perfect! However, there's a lot of extra charges that weren't shared ahead of time. We also got charged $141 for a meal we did not have. Good thing I checked our charges before we checked out. Everything is extremely expensive.

Nice hotel. I planned the trip thinking the shuttle would be able to take me to the landmarks I was hoping to visit. The shuttle was out of service and no one could tell me how long it would be that way. Disappointing, as that was part of the draw for me to stay there. Instead I had to Uber everywhere. Would have been nice to receive some sort of credit for the inconvenience. Maybe they should also update their website to reflect that shuttle service is not an option right now. Overall the stay was nice and the room was beautiful, especially the bathroom. For a 5star hotel, the pool and fitness center were lackluster. However, it seemed the fitness center may still be undergoing some construction. Also, $79 for valet seemed excessive.

The rooms were modern and clean. The bathroom was spacious. The lobby was very nice and the staff were very kind and helpful. The location was great, 15 minute walk to the Wharf and the national mall near the Washington monument

The Salamander in DC is a beautiful property with an incredible team that makes the experience from check-in to check-out amazing.

The staff here were wonderful and all so kind and happy and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the room and the large bathroom with soaking tub. I was a bit disappointed with the room service and breakfast- room service was delivered cold and breakfast was 45 dollars and the buffet was quite low caliber… powdered eggs, rubbery bacon, pancakes devoid of fluff. I have heard good things about the restaurant itself. Location was great, walking distance to the Tidal Basin. Dog friendly which is a huge plus for me as I travel frequently with them.
