Whether you’re wanting to get lost among the charming 19th century buildings in Old Town, or doing business as usual in the city, you’ll find a culture as rich as its history during your stay at our Holiday Inn hotel in Old Town Alexandria.
Alexandria is home to years, even centuries worth of history that invites people from near and far to see splendid pieces of times long past but not forgotten.
Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, consisting of two buildings (the tavern, circa 1785 and the hotel, circa 1792) stands as a time-tested tribute to the Englishman John Gadsby who ran the establishment, as well as the many high profile guests that have visited the property over its time.
Former guests have included George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the Marquis de Lafayette – you’ll feel right at home, just as they did, surrounded by this establishment of political, business, and social life.
Relax and reminisce as you enjoy the hospitality of the tavern keepers. Tour the museum filled with 18th and 19th century collections or takes one of the many tours available for guests.
Regularly scheduled events draw a variety of visitors and provide entertainment and historical education at the same time. Join the Tavern Museum for reenactments of Washington’s Birthnight Ball, the Rum Punch Challenge or even a Lantern Tour.
