The Alexandria City Council has approved construction of a luxury hotel near the King Street Metro station.

The approval of the 107-room hotel is another sign of change for the historic Old Town neighborhood.

The new hotel will include a top-tier restaurant, a coffee-wine bar and a day spa. It will be built on a site that was previously approved for a condominium development.

The hotel will be the third property in Old Town operated by the Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group, based in San Francisco.

The project’s approval comes as Alexandria prepares a plan to redevelop the waterfront. Old Town also is preparing for an influx of tourists from the National Harbor convention center across the Potomac River.
