Hotel Heron is a new hotel in Old Town Alexandria and is centrally located. The roof top bar has great views and the rooms are well done especially the bathrooms. A delightful place to stay.

Beautiful hotel in Old Towne Alexandria

We enjoyed our trip and stay at Hotel Heron. The facilities were beautiful and well maintained. Staff was courteous and helpful. The only criticism from my husband was he missed having a comfortable reading chair or coffee make in the room. He had to go down to the lobby to find coffee and comfortable seating in order to read before the rest of us woke up and got moving. We enjoyed watching Alexandria’s birthday fireworks from the rooftop bar area- a big bonus for sure!

Great sleep, great location

We were delighted by the beautiful room, the comfort of the bed and fine linens. We commented twice on the smell of the shampoo and lotion in the bathroom. We'll definitely be back.

Wonderful boutique hotel! People were friendly and very helpful. My only (minor) peeve would be the glass door on the bathroom. What brilliant decorator decided folks want to observe another‘s morning toilet? Other than that, we had a lovely stay and recommend it!
