This is one of the best Kimptons I've stayed in, by far. I live in the area and sought refuge here during a power outage. The manager was extremely gracious and gave me a discounted "power outage" rate! My room was such a calming oasis of light blues, silver, and white. I didn't want to leave! All the staff members...

We come to Alexandria every Spring/Summer and usually are disappointed with the hotel choices. We were pleased to finally find this hotel and I would recommend it and stay here again. The staff was very kind and helpful and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Our room (Lorien Suite) had plenty of room and even though it overlooked the courtyard,... More

Easy access to King Street Metro for quick trip into the District. Kimpton staff was friendly and helpful. Variety of restaurant choices nearby as well as a Whole Foods. Solid internet connection with easy access. HVAC responsive to temperature settings. Usual Kimpton amenities with a great, large bathroom. Room was very quiet, but #211 had an odd corner window only,... More

The Lorien is a block from the Metro and a short drive or bus ride to all Alexandria/King Street restaurants/activities. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are decorated with taste and are kept in great shape. Overall, one can't go wrong staying at the Lorien.

This being a Kimpton hotel, I am not usually concerned about quality and in this situation I was not disappointed. The room was very clean and relaxing, and beautifully/minimally appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The only concern... More
