Set in a seven-story building at 1767 King Street, the Hilton Alexandria Old Town puts you in the heart of one of America's most walkable historic districts. Its 252 rooms and suites are built for quiet, with soundproof windows and high-floor views up King Street toward the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. A full-service Starbucks anchors the lobby, King Street Tavern serves American plates and handcrafted cocktails from breakfast through dinner, and PURE Wellness rooms add hypoallergenic bedding and in-room air purification. More than 11,900 square feet of event space and a 2,107-square-foot courtyard handle weddings and receptions.

Step outside and Old Town's mile unfolds in both directions: more than 100 independent boutiques, taverns and galleries line cobblestoned King Street, and the free King Street Trolley runs from the Metro out front down to Market Square, with the Potomac waterfront and the Torpedo Factory Art Center an easy walk beyond it. The King Street-Old Town Metro sits diagonally across the street, three stops from Reagan National with no transfer, and a straight ride north to the Smithsonian museums and the National Mall. National Harbor is about ten to fifteen minutes by car, and Mount Vernon roughly twenty.
