We stayed here on a trip to DC. Alexandria is a wonderful little town on the water and easy access to the metro gets to you Washington in about 20 minutes. The hotel is on the main street, King Street that has just about everything you could possibly need. Park the car in the hotels garage ($25 per day) and... More

I was expecting a nice romantic date night with my significant other so I decided to book a night at the Monaco since I had seen it many times driving by King Street. It looked like it had some nice character and thought we would have a nice dinner in Old town and spend a romantic night away from home.... More

Wanted to show our 7 & 10 year old boys DC for a few days, but didn't want to stay in DC. While there were hiccups (key didn't work/movie service went out) all were resolved almost immediately. And when my husbands car battery died, the staff spent over an hour helping. Room was very clean - and pretty too! Pool... More

Where do I begin? I'll start from the top. Check in was quick and the staff was friendly. Kimpton kids were able to enjoy cookies, pretzels and lemonade in the family friendly living room for an hour, followed by big kid drinks for the adults. The rooms were capacious and the animal print robes in the room made us feel... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Monaco Alexandria. I stayed here 3 nights for business travel in the area. The staff was exceptionally friendly, tending to my 4:00 a.m. checkout with no issues, and bringing orange juice to my room as an early morning send off. The location is excellent, right in the heart of beautiful Alexandria, and a... More

This hotel is RIGHT in the heart of Old Town so it is very convenient to everything in Alexandria. Complimentary Internet and mini-bar credit are available for Kimpton In Touch members so you definitely should join. Room was lovely and very comfortable. Lobby was larger than at many Kimpton hotels. When the staff member learned I was leaving early she... More

The staff seems to make it a habit of going above and beyond the call of duty. We had experienced all sorts of travel issues before we got there. They knew this and did many things to change the mood of our trip for the better. They were successful! Great location, great room, great staff!

This was our first trip to the Washington DC area. We quickly learned that hotels in DC are outside our price range, and we began searching across the Potomac. We somehow stumbled upon the Monaco Alexandria's fantastic website and it was love at first sight. After reading a few reviews, we booked online through their website. This hotel is absolutely...

We selected this hotel based on the ratings from other tripadvisor members. We were not disappointed. The location was great, within easy walking distance of the metro and several upscale shops. The room itself was quite nice. Beds were very comfortable. The staff was courteous and accomodating. I would definitely stay here again.
