History
Morrison House opened in 1985 at 116 South Alfred Street as a 45-room Federal-style reproduction of an 18th-century manor in Old Town Alexandria, one block from King Street. Kimpton took over management after ING Clarion bought the hotel in 2006, closed it in 2016 for a literary-inspired renovation by Los Angeles designer David Hill, and reopened it as Kimpton Morrison House. AllianceBernstein and Fulcrum Hospitality acquired the property in late 2016 and shifted it into Marriott's Autograph Collection in 2017. The on-site restaurant is The Study.
