Fabulous NYE 2025 at Hotel Heron!
Had a great stay at Hotel Heron for New Year's. I was one of the lucky few that got to experience the amazing 10 course tasting dinner at Kiln that was very special and so deliciously decadent!

Great night in Alexandria
I had a wonderful stay in room 213 of the Heron. I just wanted to see Alexandria, so I spent just one night. The room was very generous, everything was clean, and the staff was VERY accommodating. If there is one small issue I had, it was the bed itself. The pillows were lovely, the sheets and comforter were so comfy, but the bed itself was too firm for my back. No big deal, just a small hiccup. I will definitely be back!

This is a charming hotel - it’s been lovingly renovated, the rooms are very cute and comfortable. Right in old town Alexandria it’s a quick walk to busy King street or the waterfront. The staff were all lovely. There were amenities, like the speakeasy, we didn’t have a chance to visit - definitely next time!

Hotel Heron was located close to so many restaurants and shops. We parked our car when we got there, and didn’t move it until we checked out. We could walk everywhere. The room was comfortable and inviting. We had a great stay!

Great first visit
Very cool new hotel in Alexandria. Large room, very comfy bed. Neat speakeasy bar that was fun to enjoy as part of the experience. Was a super quick visit so will need to come back to enjoy the hotel bar and other amenities.
