Beautiful room, amenities, and very nice staff members. We had requested a room with two beds (mom and daughter traveling together), but they gave us a two-room suite with a sofa bed, because no rooms with two beds were available when we arrived. This was not ideal, but they did the best they could under the circumstances.

The Salamander DC is the very best kind of posh. By that I mean that yes, the place is one marble floor or stunning sculpture after another, and the hotel room is vast and gorgeous...but the absolute best thing about it is the universal smile and willing spirit from every member of the staff. If you ever wondered if it was possible to find a hotel (or ANY business!) where every person seems to actually be glad to see you...step up to the Salamander. I enjoyed every moment of my stay!
