ICONIC LOCATION

You're staying in one of Old Town Alexandria's most recognized landmarks. This 1800s building anchors a prominent corner and features a striking street art mural that's become one of the most photographed spots in the neighborhood. The ground floor houses a boutique retail shop, adding to the building's vibrant, artistic character.
While the building sits at a prominent corner in the heart of the action, your unit faces a quiet residential side street - giving you the perfect balance of prime location and peaceful nights.

WALKABILITY - NO CAR NEEDED

One of the best things about staying in the heart of Old Town: you don't need a car. The Alexandria Loft puts you within walking distance of everything:

100+ restaurants within walking distance
Potomac River waterfront: 8-minute walk
King Street Metro (Blue/Yellow lines): 7-minute walk
FREE King Street Trolley runs every 15 minutes
Boutique shopping, nightlife, and historic sites

Many guests never move their car from check-in to check-out.

THE LIVING AREA

Step inside to discover an open-concept space where floor-to-ceiling exposed brick walls immediately captivate. These aren't decorative brick facades - these are the original 1800s structural walls of this historic building, showcasing natural variations in color, texture, and the patina of time.
Soaring ceilings with exposed industrial ductwork (painted a warm copper tone as a design feature) amplify the loft's distinctive industrial-chic aesthetic. A floor-to-ceiling brick column anchors the space.
The living area features comfortable seating perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Old Town. A Smart TV is ready for streaming your favorite shows, and the open layout creates an airy, spacious feel despite the loft's cozy footprint.
Natural light fills the space from windows facing a quiet side street - you're steps from King Street's energy but tucked away from the noise for peaceful mornings and restful nights.

THE KITCHEN

The modern kitchen proves you don't have to sacrifice functionality for character. White shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances create a clean, contemporary counterpoint to the vintage brick. The kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar with seating for three - perfect for morning coffee or a casual dinner in.
You'll find everything you need:

Full-size refrigerator
Gas range/oven
Microwave
Dishwasher
Coffee maker and toaster
Quality cookware, utensils, and dinnerware
Basic pantry staples (oil, salt, pepper, coffee)

THE BEDROOM

Your private retreat features exposed brick on THREE walls - yes, three walls of authentic 1800s brick creating a dramatic, romantic backdrop. This is the signature feature that makes The Alexandria Loft truly special.
The queen bed is dressed in quality linens, and blackout curtains ensure you can sleep in as late as you'd like. A spacious closet provides plenty of room for your belongings.
The bedroom windows face the same quiet side street as the living area, so you'll wake to soft morning light rather than street noise.

THE BATHROOM

The full bathroom features a classic tub/shower combination - perfect for a relaxing soak after walking Old Town's cobblestone streets. Fresh towels, a hair dryer, and essential toiletries are provided.

IN-UNIT LAUNDRY

A rare amenity in Old Town's historic buildings: your own stacked washer and dryer right in the unit. Pack light knowing you can freshen up your wardrobe anytime. Detergent pods are provided.

FIRST FLOOR LOCATION

This unit is located on the first floor of the building. While there are stairs at the main entrance to reach the lobby, once inside you're immediately at your door - no climbing multiple flights in this historic building without an elevator.
If you're traveling with your dog, you'll appreciate the relatively quick access for outdoor breaks compared to upper-floor units.

SELF CHECK-IN

We offer convenient self check-in via keypad entry - no need to coordinate schedules or wait for a key handoff. Approximately 48 hours before your arrival, you'll receive your personal entry code and step-by-step instructions.
