There’s a new boutique hotel on King Street in Old Town.
On Tuesday (July 9), Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria officially took over operations at the 107-room hotel that was previously home to the Lorien Hotel & Spa (1600 King Street) for 15 years.
The new hotel and spa will undergo a $4 million redesign, Alexandria Living Magazine reported last month.
The transition includes the installation of new five-star beds next month, as well as the usual amenities offered at its other locations.
According to Archer:
All rooms will also have Archer’s favorite bedside reading, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, complimentary Nespresso coffee experience, a mini fridge and MoMa blue sky umbrellas for lending. Guests will receive Archer’s arrival gift of bottled water and locally curated Caramels By Sam made in Roanoke, Virginia…
Old Town Alexandria’s only hotel spa, Archer’s King Street Spa, is a hidden gem that promises a serene sanctuary. Across its five treatment rooms spa goers can choose from a menu of relaxing treatments with signature facials, massages and body treatments designed to recharge the mind, body and soul. There are locker rooms, complete with steam rooms for a soothing pre-treatment experience, and a relaxation lounge to unwind pre- or post-treatment. An intimate fitness studio provides a dedicated space for a pre-treatment workout and stretching.
The hotel is also home to BRABO Brasserie and the Tasting Room
Archer hotels first opened in 2014 in New York City, and are owned by Kansas-based LodgeWorks Partners. There are currently nine locations, including nearby in Tysons Corner and Falls Church.
