Lorien Presents 'The Weekender,' Bike and Picnic Included

Where: 1600 King St, [map], Alexandria , VA, United States, 22314-2719

There’s something altogether dreamy about a weekend getaway that includes bicycling, picnicking, and sightseeing in historic Virginia. So it only makes sense that Kimpton’s new Lorien Hotel and Spa in Alexandria, Virginia, would be the purveyor of such an idyllic scenario. After all, lest you forget, the Lorien is dedicated to the "story of dreams.”

The hotel’s “Weekender Package” includes use of two of the hotel’s “retro-chic” bikes, a picnic lunch for two from the adjacent Butchers Block, a custom-designed biking map, tickets to the Mount Vernon estate, two river cruise tickets with the Potomac Riverboat Company, and late 2 p.m. check-out. Available through Aug. 31, rates start at a totally reasonable $398 for two nights (yes, that’s just $199 per night). You can also add $30 per night to accommodate a family of four.

Perched near the metro at the edge of Old Town Alexandria, the Lorien is convenient if you need to offset all that rural goodness with an urban fix, just a quick jaunt into D.C. But, really, why sully a perfectly quaint weekend with city frenzy?
