Welcome to Alexandria

Alexandria, Virginia sits across the Potomac River from the nation's capital. Founded as a colonial seaport in 1749, today it is a flourishing mix of brick townhouses, offices, hotels, restaurants, and shops while remaining one of the best preserved 18th-century towns in America.

Alexandria still enjoys excellent transportation links. You can board the subway at "King Street" station or "Eisenhower Avenue" to reach the U.S. Capitol, National Mall, and downtown Washington, DC in 25 minutes. And Reagan National Airport is just 10 minutes by car upriver!

Let us be your guide to hotels in Alexandria, Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area. Choose your favorite hotel by neighborhood, including historic Old Town and Eisenhower East (near the US Patent & Trademark Office and National Science Foundation).
