Alexandria

Old soul, new spaces

Alexandria delivers character and convenience in equal measure. Just across the Potomac from Washington, D.C., this waterfront city blends preserved architecture, boutique venues, and easy access, all within a few minutes of the capital.

Lets talk

Your event in Alexandria

In Old Town, Alexandria’s event scene has a built-in backdrop: cobblestones, character, and riverfront hotels. Pair that with modern meeting spaces and warehouse conversions that open up to D.C.’s skyline, and you’ve got range.

Alexandria is for history buffs
plus minus

Founded in 1749, Alexandria preserves its historic roots without feeling frozen in time. Groups can host receptions at museums, dine in restored taverns, or take guided tours through sites connected to George Washington’s legacy.

History is part of the city’s rhythm, not a backdrop.

Alexandria is for foodies
plus minus

Alexandria’s dining scene rivals D.C.’s, but with a local feel. Restaurants line King Street and the waterfront, offering private rooms and patios perfect for small-group dinners. Groups often end the day with cocktails on a rooftop or a ferry ride across the Potomac.

Alexandria is for logistics
plus minus

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is just 10 minutes away, with direct Metro access into Old Town. D.C. and Arlington are a short drive or ferry ride across the river, and most hotels, restaurants, and venues sit within a few compact blocks.

Spring and fall bring ideal conditions for outdoor events and waterfront walks. Winters stay mild, and summer evenings come with a steady river breeze.

Fun fact from our locals

The Alexandria waterfront still turns up artifacts from centuries of trade, including a perfectly preserved 18th-century ship uncovered in 2015 and excavated plank by plank.
