Hello March!
After co-founding Black Entertainment Television (BET), the Illinois-born entrepreneur built Salamander from the ground up, starting with the flagship Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia. The collection now includes Salamander DC, Hotel Bennett in Charleston, Half Moon in Jamaica, Aspen Meadows in Colorado, and Innisbrook and Florida PGA National Resort, both in Florida. Each property takes its distinctive design and programming cues from its location, but a sense of community unifies the brand as a whole.
Supporting female-founded properties isn't just about celebrating Women’s History Month, it's about experiencing hospitality through a different lens. These hotels embody a range of fresh perspectives on service, design, wellness, and community that make stays more meaningful and memorable. I'd love to help you choose the right fit for your next trip.
Nestled on a residential-style cul-de-sac along Washington, D.C.’s vibrant Southwest waterfront, Salamander DC offers sweeping 270-degree water views and a spectacular outdoor lawn, just steps from The Wharf, the National Mall, and the nation’s most iconic landmarks.
Welcoming hospitality and thoughtful design create a sense of calm amid the capital’s energy. Our reimagined spaces feature a brighter, more residential design, highlighted by a stunning new lobby, lobby lounge, and terrace, transformed guest suites, and Dōgon, a celebrated culinary experience by acclaimed Chef Kwame Onwuachi.
When you arrive at Aspen Meadows Resort, there’s a shift in the air. Rooted in the history of the Aspen Institute and designed by Herbert Bayer, our 98 suite resort stands apart from the rest in this ski town. Here, openness and warmth greet you at every turn, inviting locals and travelers alike to a resort experience that is simultaneously exclusive and inclusive. As you wander through our 40 acres of rolling meadows and beautiful groves, you'll discover one of the largest art collections on any resort grounds. Renowned for its nature-inspired Bauhaus design and spacious accommodations, Aspen Meadows is within walking distance of Aspen’s year-round outdoor pursuits, skiing, shopping, and restaurants.
In the center of historic downtown, Hotel Bennett is the culmination of steep tradition, intricate European-inspired architecture, and southern hospitality. From our doors, walk onto King Street, the gateway to culture and class. Embrace the allure of the Holy City and cherish moments of discovery and exploration with luxurious accommodations, amenities, and dining experiences.
Nestled within the heart of Virginia’s horse and wine country, just one hour from Washington, D.C., on over 340 breathtaking acres, Salamander Middleburg is the first destination resort in the D.C. area to receive the Forbes Five-Star Award for its hotel and restaurant, and the only Forbes Five-Star spa in Virginia. Exuding supreme luxury with equal parts gracious hospitality and historic charm, Salamander Middleburg offers boundless and inspiring activities that will delight guests including treetop zip-lining, the renowned Salamander Spa, and outstanding wineries.
This golf haven is home to four championship courses including Copperhead, host of the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship. Driving through Innisbrook Resort’s welcome gates, you’ll get carried away by rolling hills and peaceful lakes set across the spacious property. Ideal for group trips with endless activities for all — unwind at six pools, indulge at our restaurants, practice tennis, and pamper yourself at the luxurious Salamander Spa.
Set on 400 acres of land of wood and water, with two miles of private beachfront, Half Moon is Jamaica’s highest-rated resort, a biophilic sanctuary where space and privacy are our intention and your luxury. Individually appointed accommodations, most with sweeping sea views, invite guests to discover where they truly belong.
At Half Moon, elevated experiences await: the Caribbean’s largest spa oasis, a championship golf course, and award-winning dining. With distinctive restaurants, immersive wellness programmes, elevated activities, and experiences that inspire, your days are yours to design. Half Moon offers an escape that transcends the ordinary, where time slows, space expands, and every experience is shaped by the moments that matter.
