INTRODUCING THE POTOMAC HOTEL, AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION, A NEW CHAPTER FOR WASHINGTON D.C.'S ACCLAIMED WATERFRONT DESTINATION

WASHINGTON, (PERLA) -- The Potomac Hotel, Autograph Collection debuted today, marking an exciting new milestone for the Henderson Park-owned property. As part of the transition, Pyramid Global Hospitality will assume management of the 373-room hotel.

Formerly Salamander Washington DC, the hotel has joined Marriott's Autograph Collection, marking a strategic evolution that builds on the property's reputation for exceptional hospitality while introducing the Marriott Bonvoy® loyalty platform. Guests will now enjoy the added value of earning and redeeming points, exclusive member rates and promotions, potential room upgrades and more.

The hotel will continue to offer the elevated amenities and experiences that guests have come to expect. Highlights include thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites, 38,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, a luxurious dual-level spa offering a full range of wellness and grooming services, a heated indoor pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

The hotel also remains home to the acclaimed Dōgon, led by celebrated Chef Kwame Onwuachi, where bold Afro-Caribbean flavors and inventive culinary artistry have established it as one of Washington, D.C.'s premier dining destinations. Onwuachi, named the James Beard Foundation's Rising Star Chef of the Year (2019) and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People (2025), is widely recognized as one of the country's leading culinary voices. Since opening in 2024, Dōgon has quickly earned national acclaim, including a place on Condé Nast Traveler's Hot List of the World's Best Restaurants (2025), a ranking among North America's 50 Best Restaurants (2026) from the international gastronomy authority 50 Best, inclusion on Food & Wine's Global Tastemakers list of the Top U.S. Restaurants (2026), and recognition among Washingtonian's Top 10 Restaurants in Washington, D.C, among others.

The Potomac Hotel takes its name from its notable waterfront setting and the river that has long shaped Washington D.C.'s physical beauty and identity. Rooted in a strong sense of place, the name establishes the hotel as a contemporary landmark along the Potomac, while reflecting the sophistication and energy of its surroundings. Inspired by the graceful swans that glide along the river, the hotel's new logo is a refined expression of elegance, authenticity and reverence for the natural beauty and heritage of the hotel's location. The Potomac Hotel is prominently located in the heart of the nation's capital along the vibrant Southwest waterfront, a short walk in either direction to the National Mall and The Wharf. Salamander Collection Founder and CEO Sheila Johnson will remain a minority partner with Henderson Park in the property.
Only 15 minutes from Reagan National Airport and with convenient access to Washington, D.C.'s most iconic monuments, museums and cultural attractions, including the Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the Smithsonian Museums, the White House, Capitol Hill, and more, the hotel serves as a premier destination for leisure and business travelers, families, as well as meetings, events, and group business.
