Morrison House

A graciously appointed, intimate hotel in Old Town Alexandria, Morrison House is part of the Kimpton group, representing its take on traditional, Colonial style. Colors are subtle in the gleaming public rooms, their furnishings revealing just tiny hints of a modern design ethos. We like the quiet sitting room with polished parquet floor and wood paneling. In the guestrooms, discreet contemporary artwork mediates the yellows and peaches and Colonial-style furniture. Beds in some rooms are four-posters (with steps to help you climb in). There’s a complimentary wine hour in the evening.
