Preferred Hotels & Resorts has added Salamander Washington D.C.—a recently revitalized property along the city’s Southwest waterfront—to its Legend Collection. The independent hotel brand’s Legend Collection is globally sophisticated, culturally-refined and promises unforgettable guest experiences, according to Preferred Hotels & Resorts. The company also emphasized that the member properties within this luxury collection feature exquisite accommodations, stellar and intuitive personal service, renowned dining and exceptional spas.
“We are honored that Salamander Washington D.C. has been designated by Preferred Hotels & Resorts as a new member of its prestigious Legend Collection; joining a distinguished portfolio of properties in the world’s most remarkable destinations,” Prem Devadas, president of Salamander Collection, said in a statement. “This is our company’s fourth property to be accepted into the Legend Collection and it reflects our commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience—one that blends world-class design, intuitive guest service, spa and culinary innovations with a deep connection to the culture and energy of Washington, D.C.”
“We’ve proudly partnered with Salamander Collection for more than 15 years and it’s been a pleasure to witness their continued evolution and commitment to excellence,” said Dan Coyle, EVP of the U.S. and Canada, Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “The addition of Salamander Washington DC to our Legend Collection is a milestone that reflects the property’s revitalized design and thoughtful enhancements and we are thrilled to see this iconic destination take its place among the most distinguished properties in the world.”
Salamander Washington D.C. has re-emerged from a property-wide transformation designed to provide new communal spaces, reimagined guest suites, a dual-level Salamander Spa, as well as a signature restaurant featuring an Afro-Caribbean concept. The 373-room hotel blends modern sophistication with inviting residential warmth and presents a stylish, welcoming and dynamic urban retreat deeply connected to the spirit of the district, according to the company.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by what the company describes as an enhanced living room and lobby lounge with curated art, comfortable furnishings and access to a landscaped courtyard and expanded lounge terrace overlooking the Washington Marina. All 51 guest suites—redesigned by Thomas Pheasant—are designed to reflect a refined sense of place through tailored finishes and custom furniture.
