Good Fortune

Perched six stories above Old Town Alexandria atop a restored 1920s hotel, Good Fortune is Alexandria’s rooftop bar for golden-hour sunsets, seasonal cocktails and sweeping views. The building itself carries nearly a century of history, originally constructed as a boutique hotel in 1926, with a classic brick façade, Art Deco touches and a storied past that reflects Old Town’s timeless appeal. Its restoration preserved these architectural details while adding modern design elements, making the rooftop lounge a stylish backdrop now and into the future. 

Recognized by the Washington Post as a top D.C.-area bar for outdoor drinks, this open-air lounge brings locals and visitors together for craft cocktails, weekend yoga and starlit evenings. Guests settle into comfortable seating with bottles of wine and bartender-crafted specialties, alongside shareable bites like mini crab rolls, pimento cheese with pickled vegetables and crowd-pleasing punch bowls and sandwiches.
