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.
