Archer Hotel has officially unveiled its ninth property, the Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria, marking a significant expansion of its boutique hotel collection. The 107-room hotel, formerly known as the Lorien Hotel & Spa, transitioned to the Archer brand on July 9, bringing the company's signature blend of casual elegance to the heart of Alexandria's historic district.
Located just two blocks from the King St-Old Town Metrorail station and minutes from Reagan National Airport, the new Archer property offers guests a prime location in one of the South's most picturesque neighborhoods. The hotel features 107 contemporary guest rooms, including 15 suites, and boasts Alexandria's only hotel spa.
As part of the transition, Archer plans a series of enhancements to align the property with its brand standards. Guests can expect new five-star beds to be installed by late August 2024, along with Archer's characteristic in-room amenities such as locally curated goodies, Frette bathrobes, and Lather bath products. A new house art collection, curated by accomplished art advisor Deborah Goodman Davis, will soon grace the hotel's public spaces, showcasing works by local artists and pieces that tell Virginia-centric stories.
The hotel's dining options include the Brabo Brasserie and Tasting Room, catering to both hotel guests and locals for various meals and occasions. Additionally, the property maintains a fitness studio and the King Street Spa, offering a range of treatments across five rooms.
This latest addition joins Archer's growing portfolio, which includes locations in major cities like New York, Austin, and Napa, as well as properties in emerging destinations within top metro areas.
