A stylish boutique retreat that blends the historic charm with contemporary sophistication, Hotel Heron provides an ideal base for exploring Alexandria’s cobblestone streets, independent boutiques, historic landmarks and vibrant waterfront—especially as it’s situated just a few blocks from the Potomac River. 

Rooms and suites are individually appointed, combining original architectural details with contemporary furnishings and luxurious finishing touches. Accommodation options range from classic king and two-queen guest rooms to more spacious deluxe rooms and terrace rooms with private outdoor space. In-room amenities include plush bathrobes, luxury toiletries, a well-stocked minibar featuring locally-curated provisions, a hair dryer, a streaming-capable TV, a Bluetooth speaker, safe and complimentary Wi-Fi. Valet parking is available for an extra charge.  

On-site, Hotel Heron offers a wide selection of dining and drinking options. KILN, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves seasonal, Mid-Atlantic cuisine. Good Fortune, the warm-weather rooftop bar, provides panoramic views of Old Town and the Potomac River, and Francis Hall, the cosy lounge off the lobby, offers excellent crafted cocktails. Complimentary coffee is also offered daily in the lobby and breakfast can be enjoyed at KILN for an additional fee.
