Xenia Hotels and Resorts Completes Renovation of Kimpton Lorien Hotel & Spa in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia
Kimpton Lorien Hotel & Spa in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia has completed a $2.51 million redesign to the hotel's 107 guest rooms including 16 suites, signature outdoor terraces, hallway corridors, public areas, adjacent French brasserie BRABO, and 5,600 square feet of meeting, wedding, and event space. Situated along a charming brick-lined street amidst an array of boutiques and fine art galleries, Kimpton Lorien Hotel & Spa brings a sense of tranquility to all who enter. With its dedicated award-winning spa, newly refinished modern and elegant interior design, two culinary venues helmed by Executive Chef Sebastien Rondier, and unmatched service through heartfelt hospitality, the distinctly luxurious urban retreat is a destination in and of itself, while also offering easy access to the sights and attractions of Washington, D.C. and the neighboring Virginia countryside.
Kimpton Lorien Hotel & Spa's newly revealed design carefully blends Old Town Alexandria's classic architectural details with contemporary, sophisticated twists, subdued colors and a touch of whimsy.
The guest rooms feature a thoughtfully minimal, yet luxurious atmosphere where guests can retreat and rejuvenate from the day's activities. The expansive outdoor spaces are outfitted with new and cozy overstuffed couches and chairs — ideal for stargazing, conversation and even private events, weddings and receptions of up to 60 guests.
Lorien Hotel & Spa is also the ideal venue for meetings and events with nearly 5,600 square feet of event space including access to private courtyards and terraces as well as French-inspired cuisine directly from Executive Chef Sebastien Rondier of the hotel's adjacent restaurant, BRABO.
The Liberty Room, the hotel's largest space at 1,250 square feet, can be separated into two function spaces or used whole, accommodating up to 100 guests banquet style and up to 125 for receptions. The nearby Independence Room features plenty of natural light, with 730 square feet perfect for board meetings, breakout space for up to 20, and cocktail hours for up to 50 guests and leads directly out to the open-air Freedom Terrace, an intimate outdoor courtyard just outside hotel's living room. The 756 square foot Freedom Terrace has a large ivy-covered trellis, chrome accents, oversized mirrors and a contemporary in-ground fire feature and is perfect for anything from wedding ceremonies to banquets of up to 20 guests and receptions of up to 45.
Xenia Hotels and Resorts, a real estate investment trust that invests primarily in premium full service and lifestyle hotels, owns the Lorien Hotel & Spa.
