The Exterior of the Hotel Monaco Alexandria

Do you believe guest and staff rumors that ghosts haunt the sixth floor of the historic Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, Virginia?  Want to add a little spookiness to your family vacation this October/November?  Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco, in Alexandria, Virginia, is the location where two martyrs, Union Colonel Elmer Ellsworth and secessionist innkeeper James Jackson were killed in a battle that is often considered the unofficial beginning to the Civil War.

This October and November, the Hotel Monaco Alexandria is offering a Ghosts of Alexandria Family Package, which includes the following:

• Deluxe accommodations in a King or Double Room on the “haunted” sixth floor
• Two tickets to the “Ghosts and Graveyards” tour of Old Town Alexandria, where you’ll follow an 18th century costumed guide by lantern light through Alexandria’s historic district – with ghost stories and tales of the Civil War
• Complimentary valet parking at the Hotel Monaco
• A “Key to the City” Pass featuring special discounts on historic sites throughout Alexandria

The Ghosts of Alexandria package starts at $150 and is based upon availability through November 20, 2011.  To book the package, call (703) 549-6080 locally or (800) 368-5047 toll free.   You can also book online using the rate code GHOST.
