Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Hotel Heron offers guests the opportunity to see Old Town from a new vantage point. 

Originally opened in 1926 as the George mason Hotel, this adaptive reuse combines the iconic inn with an adjacent new building that houses a modern event space and elevated guest rooms. This chic 134 room boutique hotel is home to KILN, a signature ground floor restaurant serving hearth inspired Mid-Atlantic cuisine, Francis Hall, a cozy craft cocktail bar hidden in the heart of the hotel, and Good Fortune, an open-air seasonal rooftop bar with unparalleled views of the Potomac.

Elevated amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center and meeting spaces designed for socializing, co-working, creating, eating, drinking, and relaxing. The hotel brings together world travelers and neighbors alike while showcasing Alexandria’s rich legacy and knack for innovation through thoughtful touches from local businesses and artisans.
