Q + A

The Alexandrian Hotel has it's own parking garage, but there are many public parking garages throughout downtown Alexandria. Street parking is very limited, but if you find a spot, please pay attention to parking signs to avoid any tickets!PLEASE NOTE: there is an art festival on King Street on September 16th from 10am-7pm and the street will be shut down. Please keep this in mind if you plan on driving in Alexandria.

Driving

Beautiful, historic hotel in the heart of Alexandria. Ask for the Dondero Room Block before August 15 to get a discounted rate. The Alexandrian has a compliementary shuttle from Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA). If guests would like to be picked up from the airport, they will need to give a call at the main hotel number 703-549-6080, and let a front desk agent know that they will need to be picked up. The shuttle picks up from terminal A (bus stop), terminal B (door #5), Terminal c (door #$9). To go from the hotel to the airport:t leaves the hotel every top hour of each hour. It takes about 10—15 min to get to DC airport.

Alexandria is just a short drive from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. No need to rent a car! You can take the Metro (Yellow Line to King Street Stop) or take a ~$10 Uber/Lyft from the terminal!

By Air

Just steps away from the Torpedo Factory and right on the water, this hotel opened in May 2017. Ask for the Dondero Wedding block by August 16!

There are plenty of hotels, bed &amp; breakfasts, and AirBnBs in Old Town Alexandria that are just a quick walk or short Uber/Lyft right from all the festivities!

Travel

John worked in Alexandria for 7 years and knows the town well. Some of his favorites are <a href="http://www.braborestaurant.com/">Brabo</a> and <a href="http://hanksoysterbar.com/">Hank's Oyster Bar</a>. Fun fact! Annabeth also used to work in Alexandria and their very first date was actually a ~lunch date~ during work hours; they got sushi at <a href="http://mymomosushi.com/">Momo</a>.

If beers are your drink of choice, have a beer flight at award-winning <a href="http://www.portcitybrewing.com/">Port City Brewery</a> or check out <a href="http://www.bilbobaggins.net/">Bilbo Baggins</a> for their extensive global beer list. If you are feeling adventurous try and find the local speakeasy PX.

Drink

Plenty of shopping to do in Alexandria! Walk down King Street and you'll find boutiques, art galleries, and jewelry stores. Don't feel like walking back up? The trolley is free and runs all day.

Shop

Alexandria is very close to George Washington's home <a href="http://www.mountvernon.org/">Mount Vernon</a>. If you'd rather stay in the city, you can check out a colonial tour or even a <a href="http://alexcolonialtours.com/ghost-graveyard-tour/">GHOST TOUR</a> of Alexandria. BOO!

History?

National Harbor is across the river from Alexandria and has plenty to do! There is the brand new MGM Casino, an outlet mall, ferris wheel, and plenty of other shopping and restaurants.
