Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful!"

The Satire, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about The Satire made it the perfect place to stay for an extended solo weekend in the DMV! The location in Old Town Alexandria was super quiet and convenient to the highway, so visiting the Washington Monument one day and heading to a concert at Northwest Stadium the next didn't feel like a chore or traffic nightmare at all. The front desk staff's customer service and hospitality was truly five-star, and the valet team was professional and friendly. I didn't get to check out the in-house restaurants or fitness center this trip, but next time I'll plan to enjoy some food and work off the calories without ever having to leave the property. The room was clean, spacious and inviting, and the bathroom had the most wonderfully deep bathtub/shower combo for relaxing. I always have a ton of toiletries and makeup, and there was more than enough vanity space with great lighting options. I would recommend The Satire for anyone looking for a quiet stay close enough to the attractions to not feel out-of-the-way, but with enough separation that you're not bothered by traffic and constant noise."
