Salamander Washington DC

Luxury, Location & Lounge Vibes in the Heart of DC

Modern elegance meets capital-city convenience at Salamander Washington DC, a sophisticated hotel nestled in the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood. Just a short stroll from The National Mall and two major Metro stations, this upscale stay offers scenic views of the city, The Wharf, and the Tidal Basin. With marble bathrooms, deep soaking tubs, and a serene full-service spa, it's the perfect blend of comfort and class for concert-goers who want a touch of indulgence after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Salamander Washington DC nails it. You're within walking distance to several major music venues and just a few blocks from the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station, making late-night transport a breeze. Despite its central location, the hotel offers a surprisingly quiet and peaceful atmosphere—ideal for winding down post-show. Late check-in at 4:00 PM and a relaxing 11:00 AM checkout give you flexibility to rest up or head out.

• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert and some solo spa time
• Couples making a weekend of music and monuments
• Fans needing a quieter space to recharge after the crowd
