Just off the George Washington Parkway in Alexandria, Va., the Radisson Old Town Alexandria Hotel stands near the Potomac River and two blocks from the shops and historic homes on Old Alexandria's revitalized waterfront. Courtesy transportation whisks visitors to Metro train stations, where convenient connections await to the historic sites of Washington, D.C. and Mount Vernon; opportunities for attending theaters, kayaking the Potomac; riding bikes; going shopping; and just touring historic monuments. The 12 story Radisson's two story lobby and riverfront rooms offer guests breathtaking views of the scenery. The Radisson's recreational amenities include an exercise room and seasonal outdoor rooftop pool. The Radisson also features a new business center. At the hotel's Chequers restaurant, guests can munch on breakfasts and luncheon buffets, and fresh seafood, salads, Maryland crabcakes and other local delicacies. The restaurant also handles room service and provides a children's menu. Guests can also kick back in the Chequers Lounge for an evening of drinks and relaxing.
Bedecked with hues of gold and amber, paneled draperies and colonial style wood furnishings, the Radison's newly renovated 254 guestrooms come equipped with high speed Internet access, video game consoles, multi line phones, cable TV with pay movies, hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, and coffee makers. The Radisson Old Town Alexandria Hotel is a perfect choice for quality accommodations in suburban Washington and quick train and taxi rides to the capital's many sites.
