Stay Where Old Town Alexandria Comes Alive
Welcome home to Hotel Heron, where Old Town Alexandria’s history and sophistication mingles with youthful charm and modern enticements. Nestled mere blocks from the Potomac with views that have captivated visitors since 1926, we’ve reimagined this landmark building as your perfect vantage point — not just for seeing Alexandria differently, but for experiencing it like a local.
Whether you’re slipping away from D.C. for an evening or joining us from across the country for the weekend, you’ll find our doors open to anyone who believes that where you stay should be as memorable as why you traveled in the first place.

Your room is a personal retreat where modern comforts complement historic character. Wake to sunlight dancing on century-old architecture through tall windows before stepping onto King Street where Alexandria’s charm unfolds in every direction. Following your full day, return to the comfort of plush bedding and thoughtful touches like a well-stocked minibar with local provisions, Frette bathrobes, and Grown Alchemy bath products that make your room feel less like a hotel and more like the Alexandria pied-à-terre you’ve always desired.
