The Restaurant at Salamander Washington DC

"The hotel's CityZen restaurant is among the city's best"

"The restaurant, CityZen, is also a bona fide draw, and the spa, with its bronze ceiling, sunny colors, soothing atmosphere, indoor heated pool, and range of Asian-inspired treatments, will make you forget you're even in a city"

"The Mandarin delivers about everything you’d expect: big-box swank, ridiculous levels of amenities, service that’s appropriate for a Roman emperor, more amenities, one of the city’s best restaurants, City Zen, another amenity, rooms plucked from a contemporary designer’s dream offset with comfy chaises and small Asian touches, throw in an amenity etc"

"House restaurant Muze serves international flavors with subtle Asian influences"

""Luxury beyond belief" lures sybarites to this "posh" and "pricey" "oasis of relaxation" distinguished by "exquisite" rooms and suites (all with "deluxe" bathrooms, some with views of the waterfront and the Jefferson Memorial); "doting" staffers who "exceed expectations" are at the ready with all the "thoughtful extras", and the "amazing" facilities include a renowned spa and the "world-class" New American CityZen restaurant, so though the "out-of-the-way" location is a drawback for some, most are willing to overlook it in return for a "wonderful escape"
