Located in charming Old Town, Alexandria, just minutes from downtown D.C., Hotel AKA Alexandria melds Italian \u00e9lan with regional historicism. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lissoniandpartners.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The architect\u2019s New York studio<\/a> touched every aspect of the property, from the existing facade, updated with new glazing and chic anthracite paint, to the surrounding landscape, now totally transformed\u2014not to mention design of all public and private interiors encompassing 150,790 square feet. Lissoni\u2019s signature move is the dramatic darkened-steel staircase connecting reception and terrace. Strictly unique, though, is the hotel\u2019s galleryesque vibe. Adorning the lobby are artworks specially mounted on custom screens, which serve as a cocooning backdrop to contemporary furnishings from such upscale Italian sources as Porro, Living Divani, and Kartell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"789\" data-src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Interior-Design-Best-of-Year-2023-Lissoni-Partners-idx231201_boy_HotelRestorationDom02-1024x789.jpg\" alt=\"the lobby of Hotel AKA Alexandria, Virginia with artwork lining the gold walls\" class=\"wp-image-222102 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Interior-Design-Best-of-Year-2023-Lissoni-Partners-idx231201_boy_HotelRestorationDom02-1024x789.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Interior-Design-Best-of-Year-2023-Lissoni-Partners-idx231201_boy_HotelRestorationDom02-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Interior-Design-Best-of-Year-2023-Lissoni-Partners-idx231201_boy_HotelRestorationDom02-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Interior-Design-Best-of-Year-2023-Lissoni-Partners-idx231201_boy_HotelRestorationDom02.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
