Best hotel in Alexandria hands down and I’ve stayed at all of them. Customer service at AKA is 12/10. Isaiah with the concierge team is delightful, I’ve worked with him multiple times over multiple stays, he’s always so attuned to guests having an exceptional experience. And everyone else is so lovely as well, from the servers, to managers, to concierge team. Vibes here are chic and relaxed. Can’t say enough good things.
