SALAMANDER

Founder's Letter 2023

Welcome to the latest issue


As many of you know, hospitality is my third act in life and

certainly the happiest and most fulfilling. Beginning with my very first resort, Salamander in Middleburg, Virginia, my vision for a guest's experience was always larger than simply creating a traditional resort experience. It was about creating an experience where guests felt at home and not just any home.

I wanted each person to feel like they had been welcomed into my own home where they were respected and appreciated. As we grow the Salamander Collection, we have continued this promise and created a true community.

It is this sense of belonging, and the ability for guests to be themselves, that brings guests back to Salamander time and time again. Within these pages, we hope to inspire you with the beauty, culture, connection, comfort and acceptance of Salamander.

Whether you are in Aspen, Anguilla, Montego Bay, Washington DC, Tampa Bay, Charleston or Middleburg - when you feel accepted and sur-rounded by my personal brand of comfortable luxury, you know you've arrived at the Salamander Collection.

Welcome home,

Sheila Johnson
Founder and CEO
Salamander Collection
