The newest restaurant from Kwame Onwuachi is tucked in the lobby of the Salamander hotel on the Southwest Waterfront, and it’s as romantic as it gets.

The Salamander Hotel’s new spa offers a much-needed escape.

Meet the hotels proving that authentic cultural experiences, world-class luxury and soulful hospitality aren’t mutually exclusive.

Situated in the city’s hustle and bustle, guests are a stone’s throw from top attractions like The Wharf DC.

 And at the newly renovated Salamander Washington DC, one of the country's most highly anticipated restaurants has finally opened: Dōgon, helmed by chef Kwame Onwuachi (also of New York City’s top-rated Tatiana).

At Salamander Collection, the focus is on house-made products (such as freshly baked breads, pastries and cakes) and local produce (fruits picked onsite and a range of local butchers, farms and seafoods).

The pioneering Black businesswoman has built something unique with the Salamander Collection: a venture that has perfected community building and an approach to hospitality that puts the emphasis on experiences.

Luxury and comfort collide within the walls of Salamander D.C., an art-centric boutique hotel that feels both modern and homely.
