The gold standard in the hospitality industry since 1958, the Forbes Five-Star ratings are based on professional, anonymous inspections. Only 210 properties worldwide achieved the Five-Star rating, with just 79 recognized in the United States. Only two new properties in the U.S. received the award this year, and with this new honor, Salamander becomes the first destination resort in the Washington, D.C. region to achieve the Five-Star designation. \u201cI am so incredibly proud and humbled that our resort has achieved this rating,\u201d said Johnson, Founder & CEO of Salamander Hotels & Resorts. \u201cObtaining Five Stars has been a goal since we started drawing plans for the resort, and I am so grateful to our entire team of service professionals who strive to exceed our guests\u2019 expectations on a daily basis. They truly make the difference.\u201d A pioneer for gender and racial equality, Johnson is the only African-American woman to wholly own a Five-Star resort. Renowned as the co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, she is also a partner in Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Washington Wizards, Mystics and current Stanley Cup Champion Capitals. But it is hospitality which she considers her passion. The opportunity to develop the 168-room resort was the main reason she entered the industry and the project took a decade to design and build. Since opening its highly anticipated doors in August 2013, Salamander Resort & Spa has received worldwide plaudits, and also become a community gathering point and executive retreat for Washington, D.C. residents. The resort\u2019s success over the past five years has drawn travelers from all over the world to the region, and last year the it was one of only three properties in the U.S. to be recognized by Forbes Travel Guide for both its accommodations and spa in a separate ranking of \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Luxurious Hotels and Spas.\u201d \u201cWhen designing Salamander Resort & Spa, we were driven by local culture and history to create a property that embraced the Middleburg lifestyle,\u201d said Prem Devadas, president of Salamander Hotels & Resorts. \u201cCreating a welcoming and connective environment for guests, one where the design tells a story, is incredibly important. And, of course, the exceptional service our team provides is the defining level of detail that helped Forbes Travel Guide and its inspection team recognize the resort as one of the finest in the world. We could not be more excited.\u201d Located on 340 picturesque acres in the storied village of Middleburg \u2013 the heart of Virginia\u2019s famed horse and wine country \u2013 the resort is only 35 minutes from Washington Dulles International Airport. \xa0Designed to blend into the surrounding rolling countryside, the 168-room Salamander Resort & Spa draws its architectural inspiration from Johnson\u2019s nearby farm. It offers a series of immersive experiences unique to the area, including Harrimans Virginia Piedmont Grill, a Cooking Studio and Culinary Garden, a tranquil outdoor spa courtyard with an infinity pool, a tree-top zip line tour, and a 22-stall equestrian center with riding arena. \u201cThis award is truly a testament to the extraordinary dedication our service professionals provide each and every day,\u201d said Reggie Cooper, the resort\u2019s general manager. \u201cWe all take immense pride in reflecting Ms. Johnson\u2019s belief that everyone should be welcomed as if they were entering into her own home.\u201d Considered one of the finest luxury hotel companies in the country, Salamander Hotels & Resorts has just opened the magnificent new Hotel Bennett in Charleston, SC. It also operates three resorts in Florida: The Henderson in Destin; Hammock Beach Resort near St. Augustine; and Innisbrook Resort in Tampa, which will host the PGA TOUR\u2019s Valspar Championship in March.
