CHICAGO — Hotel Heron, an Aparium hotel known for its thoughtful design and connection to the local community, recently announced its transition to Curio Collection by Hilton. The 134-room property in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, will retain its distinct character as it continues to be managed by Aparium.
For meetings and events, the 2,355-square-foot Heritage Ballroom features natural light, hardwood floors and 17-foot ceilings, and it can accommodate up to 150 guests for a standing reception. The 842-square-foot Assembly Room can be divided into two breakout rooms.
Dining options include KILN, a signature ground-floor restaurant serving hearth-inspired Mid-Atlantic cuisine; Francis Hall, a cozy craft cocktail bar hidden in the heart of the hotel; and Good Fortune, the only rooftop experience in Alexandria with unobstructed views of the Potomac.
Located in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria, Hotel Heron offers guests a modern vantage point to view the beloved neighborhood. The chic hotel is known for its sophisticated design, dynamic community-focused programming and inspiring culinary concepts.
“Since opening, Hotel Heron’s sense of place has been rooted in Alexandria’s vibrant community and creative energy that comes to life through our thoughtful culinary offerings and impactful lifestyle programming,” said Matt Karow, general manager, Hotel Heron. “Joining Curio Collection by Hilton gives us the opportunity to bring that story to a wider audience while preserving the authenticity that resonates with locals and loyal guests.”
As the second Curio Collection property in the DMV region, the launch marks an exciting evolution for Hotel Heron, blending its neighborhood-driven ethos with the global reach of Hilton’s hospitality platform.
