We've stayed twice at the Lorien in the past year and a half. Both times we stayed in a Lorien Suite -- the same room, in fact. The staff were wonderful on both occasions. They were very accommodating and very friendly. Room service was fantastic. It comes from the restaurant, Brabo, and both the dinner and breakfast we had were... More

We have always enjoyed staying at the Lorien, and this time was no ecxeption. The hotel is very modern and clean, afternoon wine reception quite nice, and staff excellent. My husband stayed a day longer than me, and I forgot to book the room for his last night. Zuhair Omer at the front desk telephoned other hotels until he found... More

Stayed here with my mother on a work-turned-pleasure trip. Mom would rate the room higher than I would, but we look for different things. First off, we agreed that the service was phenomenal--very polite. The last hotel I stayed at was actually the Ritz in New Orleans; I have to say customer service here was better! Very walkable to the... More

Dear HereOnBiz, I was very pleased to read you and your Mom found the service provided by our team members to exceed that of a hotel chain known for top notch service. For your needs it appears we split the difference relative to our location and ability to have a great night’s sleep. I am sorry things were not perfect... More

Great decision to stay here. We spent much of our time in DC exploring but this was a great location as the metro was only about 1 1/2 blocks away. Someone at the desk gave us a few pointers regarding the metro which was helpful. The metro was great for getting around. We had the car parked by the valet... More

I stayed at this hotel because I was attending a meeting at the Hilton down the road. The Hilton was booked so I could not get a room there. Turned out to be my lucky day! WOW. This hotel is restful, classy, and has GREAT customer service. I felt extremely safe, pampered, and valued. Upon checking in I expressed my... More

We've stayed two other times at the Lorien and this past time was really great. On this trip, the first room we were given did not meet our expectations from past visits and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a room that made us happy. As others have stated, this hotel is sleek, modern, calm,... More

Stayed here as part of a quick weekend retreat. The rooms were sleek, modern and clean. The hotel was so stylish and comfortable I had a hard time believing I was just a few yards from Old Town. The bathrooms are especially contemporary, which I like, but others may not. Would definitely recommend it to friends.

On the "advice" of our fellow TripAdvisors, we booked a weekend stay at the Kimpton Lorien and could not be more satisfied with the experience.

I simply had to take the time to rave about the exquisite service I received from the staff at the Lorien Hotel & Spa during my visit, (May 4-10) especially from Shane and Brandon. While every establishment includes some sort of narrative on the ‘level of service’ they provide guest, rarely does it go beyond smiling while they dispense room... More

Excellent Kimpton boutique, fairly new hotel and well situated in Alexandria which is quite close to Washington. It is near the top of King Street and very close to the subway which is easy to use and is a quick way to get to Washington or Pentagon City which has a wonderful shopping mall.
