My wife and I absolutely love the Archer! We’ve been staying here for years, since it was under the Kimpton corporation and named The Lorien Hotel. The staff is always pleasant and accommodating, the food at their onsite restaurants is always really good and the property as well as the rooms are always clean. We stay a couple of times a year when we need to get away for a few days but don’t have the time to take a longer vacation…as soon as we turn on to King Street, we feel like we’re home. We won’t ever stay anywhere else when we are visiting Old Town Alexandria.

This hotel is right on the main street in Old Town Alexandria. It's very walkable. They do offer valet parking, but I was able to find street parking right outside of the hotel, so I did not need it. The hotel felt safe and well-maintained. The restaurant attached to the hotel also has good food.

I travel back and forth to Alexandria for work, usually staying for a week, and this is the best hotel I stayed in so far. I've stayed at a different hotel previously and also stayed at an Bnb on my last trip and was so disappointed that I decided to give this hotel a try. Perfect everything. I will not try anything else in future and will stay at the Archer hotel for all my future business trips. Friendly staff, super clean and spacious room, every detail was taken care of. Perfect walkability to everything you could need.

This is a lovely boutique style property. The room was modern and clean with a balcony overlooking the courtyard. They have a charming restaurant that is decorated beautifully and had a very fresh healthy feel about it. The staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommended.
