Lorien Hotel & Spa

Situated back off one of the cutest streets! Many shops and restaurants. King Street has a free trolley and the metro is a couple of small blocks away. Based off the fact that the building may be older, the room we got was an odd layout. The bathroom seemed to be bigger than the rest of the livable area of the space. It looks like they recently remodeled it, so it looked really nice. The only sink is inside the massive bathroom and the only mirror in the space with plugs next to it, was in the bathroom. So if you have other people sharing the space, you have to wait til they’re done on the toilet or shower if you want to do your hair/makeup. The sofabed mattress was not very good, my kids complained that the mattress was too springy and it would sometimes foldover itself when you wanted to fold the bed away. There were no dressers in our room, just a closet. But they make up for these smaller inconveniences with a nice (but small) gym and a free wine hour in the library. Their restaurant has great food too. Also very well air conditioned!!

I had an excellent stay at the hotel while visiting family in Alexandria

I enjoyed my stay at Lorien Hotel & Spa in downtown Alexandria Va. The location, staffs, the room were all exceptional and I would highly recommend to my friends and family members!

I really liked everything about this place! It's lovely inside and out. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good food at the restaurant, too.PLUS,they welcome furkids and provide water and snacks!

Wonderful 4 night stay with my family. We all loved the room, service and location!! Would absolutely recommend staying here 👍👍

It was a road trip with family and friends. I booked two rooms. The hotel is in the middle of historic Alexandria, convenient to everything including the river front. We arrived late but the front desk and valet were so kind and made us feel so welcome. It was next morning at breakfast left a sour taste. The server first gave us unfriendly looks, then showed impatience while we had questions about the menu. It took him three tries to get the check right and he acted as if it was our fault.

This property is very pretty, however, the hvac system in the rooms kept me up the entire time, it was impossible to relax, even with the TV on, it is very loud coming on and going off. I am in real estate, so I say this with all certainty, if you are a light sleeper or wanting to relax in peace and quiet, this is not the hotel. The water pressure in the sinks were so slow it didn't make sense. The hot and cold water was hard to adjust in the shower. Just not a great experience. Pretty yes, time with my family awesome, would not stay here again, not relaxing at all for it to be a spa.

This hotel was amazing. My family enjoyed it so much. A boutique style hotel that is absolutely beautiful. All of the employees were so kind. The courtyards are beautiful and the hotel is immaculate. Our room was huge and so comfortable. Complimentary wine for happy hour every evening in the lobby, which was an unexpected perk. No coffee in the room, but they had coffee in the lobby every morning, which was 1000 times better anyway. The location is absolutely perfect! Tons of shops and restaurants within a mile down to the waterfront. It’s worth the walk for sure! There is a free trolley but we chose to walk everywhere. There is a Metro station up the street and the Lorien is a quick Uber to Reagan National. I couldn’t have chosen a better spot! We are sad to leave here.
