The staff of the Salamander were exceptional. From the minute we arrived we were treated to like valued guests. Every interaction we had with the people of this hotel, from the bellman, the front desk, the hosts and servers at the restaurant was outstanding. Our room was quiet and comfortable. You can walk to the wharf area where there are plenty of restaurant options.

Everything was well thought out and extremely comfortable. Only complaint was the lighting control system. Needed more zones and control points. Some lamps had to use a toggle switch on the cord. But an extremely minor complaint.

Mediocre hotel at luxury prices
The hotel had its ups and downs. The lowest point was that the crib we requested had a piece of metal sticking out into the sleeping area and was obviously dangerous. The temperature in the room also seemed to rarely match the thermostat as we alternated between sweating and freezing. But the staff were fabulous and the indoor pool was my son’s favorite part of the trip.
