Rest, Reflect, and Reconnect in the Heart of Old Town Alexandria

Your room at Hotel Heron offers more than merely a space to sleep. This is your personal slice of Alexandria, striking a balance between historic character and modern comfort. Enjoy original architectural details from our 1926 Colonial Revival design of our main building or in our adjacent Washington Building. Here, morning light streams through tall windows overlooking the bustle of King Street, yet remains comfortably distant when you need your rest.

Whether you choose our spacious Terrace King with its private outdoor space perfect for morning coffee or one of our classic guestrooms with thoughtful touches like local artwork and luxurious Frette robes and Grown Alchemist bath products, you’ll find your own slice of Old Town comfort here. Each room features velvet headboards

Mornings at Hotel Heron unfold at your pace. Catch the sun’s first light playing across Old Town’s historic rooftops from east-facing rooms. Then fuel up with complimentary coffee in our lobby from Alexandria’s Swing’s Coffee Roasters (a local institution since 1916) before heading out for a sunrise walk along the Potomac. When you desire to linger in bed a bit longer, mosey down to KILN for a light breakfast or ask our team about their favorite neighborhood cafés for a local morning experience.
