    DINING
    Elysium Dining Room - This intimate restaurant has no menu. Instead, a chef comes to each table before the meal to explain the day’s fresh ingredients and to ask diners about their food preferences. The chef then creates an original meal for each guest, and a skilled sommelier helps find the perfect wine.

    The Grille - This wood-paneled and leather-upholstered space turns into a piano bar in the evening. Food specialties are steak, chops, and wild game fish.


    AMENITIES & SERVICES
    What to expect: A luxurious retreat just across the Potomac from the bustle of Washington, D.C., Morrison House attracts a discerning clientele of business travelers looking for unique accommodations and leisure guests seeking a romantic getaway. The hotel is a perfect reproduction of a Federal-style mansion, complete with a parlor and library, luxurious silk wallpaper, Italian marble floors, and period engravings on the walls.

    Amenity highlights: Guestrooms evoke Alexandria’s colonial past, with references to nautical and international trade and local history. Each room is individually furnished: Some rooms have two-poster beds, others four-posters. Some include fireplaces, some crystal chandeliers. The hotel’s public areas have neoclassical moldings and pediments, and antique furnishings. With only 45 guestrooms, Morrison House is small enough to pamper each guest.

    Insider tip: Morrison House’s Old Town Alexandria neighborhood has a fascinating history dating from before the American Revolution. The concierge can arrange for guided walking tours of this historic area. Especially popular are the ghost tours—offered only after dark on Fridays and Saturdays—that illuminate secret infamies and the restless spirits of Old Town’s gaslit streets.



    The 45-room Morrison House is meticulously appointed as an 18th-century, Federal-style mansion. The lobby, parlor, and hallways hold antique and antique-reproduction furnishings, with walls covered in rich silk. A mahogany library provides a quiet place to relax and read. Around-the-clock butler service is available. A business center provides computer, fax, and copying services.
