Arrival Information

Nestled between the National Mall and the vibrant Southwest waterfront, Salamander DC is within walking distance to many of Washington DC's most notable attractions. Exuding a sense of comfortable luxury, our spacious hotel rooms, elevated culinary experiences and world-class spa make us the perfect location to explore the nation's capital. 

Beginning early December 2023, Salamander Washington DC will undergo an enhancement project. While this work takes place, we are committed to providing our guests with an exemplary level of service and a highly convenient base from which to explore and enjoy Washington, D.C. Our enhancement work is scheduled to conclude in Spring 2024 and will be undertaken in a way to minimize impact to the guest experience.
