The Kimpton Hotel Monaco (formerly a Holiday Inn) is located
in historic Old Town Alexandria on King Street. The occupied 160,000 SF,
six-story hotel was completely renovated including all 240 guestrooms, lobby
area, multiple meeting room spaces, pool, fitness area, and outside
courtyard. The renovation consisted of three phases of construction that
included an extensive interior finish upgrade to each guestroom, including
new marble bathrooms.
The public areas of the hotel on the first and third floors
also received a sophisticated and unique interior modernization. All new
mechanical and electrical systems were also installed to support the
building.
In addition to the lobby and meeting room renovations on the
first floors, the four-star Jackson 20 Restaurant, complete with exhibition
kitchen and extensive wooden bar area, was constructed.
Despite a variety of unforeseen conditions including mold, asbestos,
structural, MEP, and flooding complications, Forrester was able to complete
this project four months ahead of the original scheduled duration in order
to minimize the hotel’s downtime.
