Mandarin Oriental Washington DC

I LOVED my room! I had a one bedroom suite and it was clean and BEAUTIFUL! I loved it so much from the gorgeous bathroom to the stunning living room area that I had to add another night to my stay. The hotel was not far from the train station so I had no issues with the short ride there. The hotel was very close to the Wharf which was beautiful and had plenty to do and plenty to eat. We really enjoyed La Vie since we were unable to try Dogon within the hotel. The hotel staff was very nice and friendly. So thankful to Jeremy and his team for making me feel welcome! I can’t wait to come back!

I had an excellent stay at the Salamander DC and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Washington, DC. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The hotel's location is another standout feature—it's conveniently situated near many of DC's most popular attractions, restaurants, shopping, and the National Mall, making it easy to explore the city. The food was fresh, flavorful, and consistently well prepared. Every meal we had was enjoyable and complemented the overall experience. The true highlight of my stay was the spa. The facilities and amenities were exceptional and created a peaceful, luxurious atmosphere from the moment I arrived. I especially want to recognize Shaniece, who provided one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. She was warm, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. Her expertise and genuine care made my treatment incredibly relaxing. If you're planning a spa visit, I highly recommend requesting Shaniece—she is outstanding. Overall, my experience at Salamander DC was deserving of a 4.5-star rating. The combination of beautiful accommodations, excellent dining, an unbeatable location, and an incredible spa made for a memorable stay. With just a few minor refinements (check-in communication), it would easily be a five-star experience. I look forward to returning on my next trip to Washington, DC.

This review is only for the Salamander SPA. The SPA, unlike the hotel room bathrooms, was SPOTLESS.& SANITARY. My masseuse, Shaniece, was amazing!! Shaniece was sweet, professional, & had extremely strong hands.She gave a wonderful deep tissue massage, and my skin was THE SOFTEST & MOST HYDRATED it's ever been after the Zen Body Treatment Can't wait to return!!
