About us

Celebrated for providing legendary quality experiences, Salamander Washington DC provides sophisticated globally-minded, design oriented guests some of the world’s most sought-after hospitality experiences in the most intriguing destinations. Salamander Washington DC offers these same experiences in a world capital of art, culture and politics. Located just off the National Mall and within close walking distance to the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, the Jefferson Memorial and the city’s famous cherry blossoms, our neighborhood has been transformed with the opening of District Wharf. This multi-use development presents over 25 new restaurants and night clubs, plus the Anthem: a 6,000-person general capacity state-of-the-art live concert venue that is now a must-visit stop on all major artists’ tours. The Wharf also offers outdoor markets, local DC-only shopping, watersports, and a lively street scene all along a marina-side promenade and three public piers. The excitement of The Wharf coupled with our very flexible, easy-to-manage meeting space and smartly appointed luxury guest rooms, makes the Southwest Waterfront and Salamander Washington DC the most desirable meeting destination in the District.

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
