Washington, DC and Middleburg, VA – Travelers no longer need to choose between visiting the heart of the nation’s capital or the mystique of Middleburg in Virginia’s countryside. Instead, they can savor the distinct characteristics of both destinations.

Salamander Hotels & Resorts has unveiled its new ‘Capital & Country’ package, which allows guests to experience the luxury hotel brand’s two Washington, D.C.-region properties: its newest addition, Salamander Washington DC and the company’s renowned Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, VA.

Located just one hour apart, the properties feature a variety of complementary experiences, including the region’s top-ranked spas and a diverse and warm style of hospitality reflective of their owner: renowned business leader Sheila Johnson – who was just named CEO of the Year by Washington Business Journal. Salamander Washington DC is located along the capital’s vibrant Southwest waterfront and a short walk from Washington’s most cherished monuments and iconic landmarks, while Salamander Resort & Spa is situated in the historic country town of Middleburg, famed for its equestrian culture, boutique shopping and area wineries.

The package, which will adjust seasonally, includes:

• Three-night minimum consecutive stay across both and Salamander Washington DC and Salamander Resort & Spa (at least two nights at one property and one at the other)
• $200 credit ($100 per property per stay), available for use at both properties, including spa, dining and recreational activities
• Salamander Signature S’mores kit welcome amenity

The winter Capital & Country package is available from December 8, 2022, through March 1, 2023. To book, visit the special offers and package pages of either Salamander Washington DC or Salamander Resort & Spa, where a guest must fill out an online reservation form. Guests can also call (877) 210-5844. Luxury transportation options between Washington, D.C. and Middleburg are available at an additional cost, while the package will evolve seasonally to include area attractions and events.   

Launched in early September, the elegant Salamander Washington DC is just minutes from the exciting attractions and restaurants in the new District Wharf. Featuring a grand sense of arrival, the hotel’s elegant and bustling lobby and lounge opens onto one of DC’s most attractive and intimate outdoor spaces, replete with firepits and waterfront views. Many of the property’s 373 beautifully designed rooms, spacious suites, also overlook the Potomac River and Tidal Basin, while the spa is widely considered the finest in the District. Under the Salamander brand, the hotel features elevated service levels, an inviting and warm atmosphere and is undergoing an exciting enhancement program in 2023. Improvements will include a renovation of the hotel’s suites, the remodeling and reopening of the club lounge, re-concepting and redesign of its signature restaurant and grand lobby lounge, and activation of the hotel’s unique outdoor spaces.
