All 168 rooms and suites are comfortably spacious and designed in keeping with the resort's country estate aesthetic, each with its own private patio or balcony. Each is meticulously designed with the finest attention to detail, the plush bedding features linens and throws personally designed by founder Sheila C. Johnson, weaving in subtle nods to the changing seasons and the equestrian heritage of the Virginia countryside. Serene, inviting, and relaxing, these are ideal for unwinding after a day on the estate.
Pool + Gym

Three pools, three ways to unwind.

Salamander Middleburg offers three distinctive pools, including a seasonal recreation pool, a spa pool, and an indoor pool, each providing a different way to unwind and ensuring there's somewhere to swim year-round. Salamander Middleburg boasts state-of-the-art fitness facilities and a variety of classes to cater to your health needs. Modern cardio equipment and free weights in the gym make it easy to get a workout in, but there are also outdoor fitness classes to consider, from yoga and Pilates to Zumba and circuit training. Mindfulness and wellness classes are also on offer, whether that's a guided meditation, breathing exercises, and stress management techniques. Wellness workshops are also held on the grounds.
Spa

Pamper the mind, body, and spirit.

The Salamander Spa is a serene oasis dedicated to relaxation and rejuvenation, offering an escape from the outside world. With a wide range of luxurious treatments and skilled therapists, the spa provides an immersive experience designed to pamper the body, mind, and spirit.
Restaurant + Bar

Farm-to-table Virginia cooking.

Harrimans celebrates the rich resources of Virginia's most fertile region, with a menu built around seasonal flavors, local butchers' cuts, fresh seafood, and imaginative desserts. Sundays bring a grand family-style multi-course brunch, and the experience extends well beyond the dining room, from pre-dinner strolls through the Culinary Garden to private chef's dinners in the Cooking Studio and after-dinner cordials by the fire pit.

The Gold Cup Wine Bar is a sophisticated and inviting spot dedicated to showcasing a curated selection of fine wines and creative cocktails from around the world. The bar exudes an elegant and relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for wine enthusiasts. The signature drink is the "Walk Through Fire", a cocktail featuring Salamander's exclusive Woodford Double Oaked bourbon mixed with Amaro Nonino and Aperol with orange bitters. The name refers to the vibrant, fiery taste of the cocktail, inspired by the Salamander.
