Where do I begin? I'll start from the top. Check in was quick and the staff was friendly. Kimpton kids were able to enjoy cookies, pretzels and lemonade in the family friendly living room for an hour, followed by big kid drinks for the adults. The rooms were capacious and the animal print robes in the room made us feel... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Monaco Alexandria. I stayed here 3 nights for business travel in the area. The staff was exceptionally friendly, tending to my 4:00 a.m. checkout with no issues, and bringing orange juice to my room as an early morning send off. The location is excellent, right in the heart of beautiful Alexandria, and a... More

This hotel is RIGHT in the heart of Old Town so it is very convenient to everything in Alexandria. Complimentary Internet and mini-bar credit are available for Kimpton In Touch members so you definitely should join. Room was lovely and very comfortable. Lobby was larger than at many Kimpton hotels. When the staff member learned I was leaving early she... More

The staff seems to make it a habit of going above and beyond the call of duty. We had experienced all sorts of travel issues before we got there. They knew this and did many things to change the mood of our trip for the better. They were successful! Great location, great room, great staff! More

This was our first trip to the Washington DC area. We quickly learned that hotels in DC are outside our price range, and we began searching across the Potomac. We somehow stumbled upon the Monaco Alexandria's fantastic website and it was love at first sight. After reading a few reviews, we booked online through their website. This hotel is absolutely...

We selected this hotel based on the ratings from other tripadvisor members. We were not disappointed. The location was great, within easy walking distance of the metro and several upscale shops. The room itself was quite nice. Beds were very comfortable. The staff was courteous and accomodating. I would definitely stay here again. More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our wedding anniversary. I hesitated to book here because it is a "pet friendly" hotel. However, they assured me that they had a floor dedicated to people who don't have pets. While we saw pets in the lobby, we never encountered them on the elevators or on our floor. Amenities: The...

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Staff were universally friendly from the moment I checked in and remained so throughout my stay. I was really happy to find that items that Kimpton knows that I enjoy were in my room. Real Maltesers were a big surprise and I really appreciated this touch. The location was superb, really handy...

I work primarily out of a home office only an hour from Old Town Alexandria, however, there are times when I know I will need to be in Alexandria for a couple of days, so I book a hotel rather than make the often-arduous trip up and down 95. Whenever possible, I stay at the Monaco, although there are times... More
