We've been anticipating the opening of Kimpton's Lorien Hotel & Spa in Old Town Alexandria, VA (right outside of D.C.) for a while now, and it looks like the dreamy-looking "crown jewel" of the D.C. area is set to open up on February 12th (long after the smoke has cleared from all the inauguration chaos).

To celebrate, the 107-room Lorien will feature Old Town Alexandria's first full-service spa, as well as a classic-meets-modern theme in all the rooms (which are decorated in robin's egg blue, gray, and white). The place is supposed to "celebrate the story of dreams" — which, in practice, means goodies like concierges who help dreams come true, and a "Dream Service Menu" packed with comfort foods plus an array of bath, aromatherapy, and pillow options to be brought to your room.

To help keep this dream within reach, the Lorien is offering a Grand Opening discount package until June 30th, which includes:

· 20 percent off the best available rate
· Guaranteed room upgrade
· $20 hotel credit for each night’s stay
· Welcome in-room arrival amenity from celebrated Chef Robert Wiedmaier

You can apply that $20 credit toward spa treatments, room service, dining at one of Chef Wiedmaier’s restaurants (BRABO by Robert Wiedmaier and BRABO Tasting Room) or toward gourmet items at The Butcher's Block (a Market by RW).

Standard room rates start at $279.00, and the Grand Opening package can be booked at Kimpton.com using rate code EMM.

    so what?

    Despite possibly dusty headboards, I'm taking the plunge as a week later Valentine's Day present. Risky, I know. I'll report back with pertinent details.

    Alexandria+Kimpton = Good Combo

    Alexandria is such a great little town conveniently located across the river from DC. It is really exciting to have a new hotel there. Good to know they are offering introductory rates.  I wrote about The Lorien myself on my blog..http://betterlivingthroughtravel.com/2008/12/27/coming-soon-lorien-hotel-alexandria-va/
