Sitting pretty on the banks of the Southwest waterfront, the Salamander Washington, D.C. is as appealing to the city’s droves of tourists as it is with its regular business trippers. 

Salamander Collection was recently voted Best Luxury Hotel Brand by readers of USA Today and is the largest Black-owned luxury hotel company in the United States.

This summer, the Salamander Washington DC unveils renovations to its lobby, luxury spa and guest suites, followed by the opening of Chef Kwame Onwuachi’s restaurant, Dōgon, inspired by the heritage of DC surveyor Benjamin Banneker.

The World’s Best

The Salamander Collection was recently voted Best Luxury Hotel Brand by USA Today readers and is the largest Black-owned luxury hotel company in the US.

On the luxury end, get spoiled at Black-owned Salamander Washington DC.

With venues including the 1,688-capacity Grand Ballroom and expansive Grand Lawn, 373-room Salamander Washington, DC is nearing completion on phased upgrades including Dōgon restaurant from acclaimed chef Kwame Onwuachi.

Kwame Onwuachi is back. The talented toque, named by the James Beard Foundation as a Rising Star Chef of the Year and whose Tatiana was named New York’s best restaurant last year by the New York Times, opens Dogon by Kwame Onwuachi this spring at Salamander Washington, DC.

Revitalising the former Mandarin Oriental, the new hotel includes striking gathering spaces, an expanded two-story spa and modernly refreshed guest suites designed by Washington’s own Thomas Pheasant. Acclaimed chef Kwame Onwuachi also makes his return to the nation’s capital with Dōgon.
