Virgin Holidays View
With its distinct antebellum flair, the Hotel Monaco Alexandria is a boutique hotel with a difference! Built on the site of the former Marshall Inn, the location of the beginning of the Civil War, it is steeped in history. To echo its surrounds, guest rooms utilise the colours of a Union soldier and are decorated in soothing tones of mocha brown, soft black, cream and vintage greys with vibrant orange and blue accents. They also include a good range of modern amenities so you’ll feel at home straight away. Complementing all this history is a superb 4-star level of service and a whole range of amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and in-room spa service should you feel in need of a relaxing massage or beauty treatment. The restaurant, named after Andrew Jackson, is a tribute to everything organic and, in a sense, is itself making history in the local area! Contemporary Colonial-style interiors provide a lovely setting that captures perfectly the simple, classic charm of the period. Treat yourself to a sumptuous meal here as well as a drink or two, with delicious American cocktails served and a complete selection of bourbon and whiskey.
