For the first time ever, Alexandria was honored with a placement on on Travel + Leisure's “Best Cities in the U.S.” list. Votes from T+L readers put Alexandria at the #8 position among 15 cities including tourist hotspots Charleston, New Orleans and Austin.
Of Alexandria, the magazine wrote: "Though many people know it as a suburb of Washington, D.C., this capital-adjacent enclave has plenty of its own merits, including 'good food and interesting shopping,' according to one voter. Another encouraged fellow travelers to visit the city's walking trails along the Potomac."
In addition, Morrison House is tied for fifth among the best U.S. hotels.
Alexandria’s prestigious new ranking is one of many accolades, including a “Top 3 Best Small City” award from Condé Nast Traveler and “Best Small Cities on the Rise” honor from Southern Living.
