The Lorien carries the theme of quiet relaxation throughout the facility, from the courtyard to the lobby to your room to the fitness center and spa. Their staff are grownups, who do more than recite a script. They look for ways to make your stay pleasant. Best bed I've slept on in a hotel all year. The attached Brabo restaurant... More

They are very friendly and truly make you feel welcome. They will go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable (regardless of how... More

I stayed at the Lorien Hotel during one of their winter getaway deals for Kimpton In Touch members. I have always been impressed by Kimpton hotels, but this time they outdid themselves. From the time I was greeted at the front desk to the time I walked out it was fabulous. The staff was attentive, the little perks for being... More

My wife and I did an overnighter on 2/4/12. We had stayed here before and have always enjoyed the experience. The place is great and the staff is topnotch. The evening wine reception is a real plus. The night we were there I got on the internet for a wonderful price. We will return. More

One word..."polished". The modern decor is not my style but it is impeccably done. The staff members are absolutely some of the best I have ever encountered during my significant travels. From the valets to the front desk to the managers and all the staff at Brabo restaurant next door, absolutely world class. The setting for the hotel is outstanding... More

I can't say enough positive things about the Lorien. I travel around 40 weeks a year, 4-6 in the DC area. I have stayed at the hotel twice, and will make an effort to get there each time I'm here in the future. The rooms are gorgerous, the spa is amazing, and the food and staff at the Brabo tasting...

From the moment my son and i arrived, every member of the staff were genial and accommodating. Each employee at the Lorien, from the manager to the person cleaning the elevator with the delightful smelling orange oil greeted us with warm welcomes and offered assistance with everything from directions to taking advantage of the beverages at the lobby happy hour....

We arrived Friday evening for a nice, quiet getaway and were greeted by all kinds of help and two glasses of the most wonderful merlot. After snagging a coveted table at the Tasting Room next door we had a wonderful meal, wine and some much needed time with one another. We went to our room and to bed. Not everyone... More
