Alexandria Nominated For Condé Nast's Best Small Cities For 7th Year

ALEXANDRIA, VA — As Visit Alexandria works to support city services with visitor-related revenue, it is hoping to make Condé Nast Traveler's best small cities list for the seventh year in a row.

Alexandria was nominated in the cities category for the Condé Nast Traveler 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards. The city has been in the top five of Best Small Cities in the U.S. for six consecutive years since the category was introduced in 2018. In 2023, Alexandria was ranked the third best small city in the U.S.

Readers can complete Condé Nast Traveler's survey by rating various cities, countries, hotels and more nominees in various categories. Alexandria will do well in the ranking when readers rate it as "excellent" in a few categories and answer a few additional questions.

Along with Alexandria's nomination in the cities category, The Alexandrian, Hilton Alexandria Old Town, Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, Morrison House and Lorien Hotel & Spa were nominated in the hotels category.

The deadline to vote in the readers' choice awards will be June 30, 2024. Participants will have a chance to win a 13-day trip on the Great Lakes from Viking Cruises. Only one vote for each nominee is allowed per email address.

Visit Alexandria, a membership-based organization promoting tourism in the city, has prioritized getting the city on high-profile rankings. The organization believes national visibility will boost Alexandria's hospitality industry and contribute to visitor-related revenues like sales tax, meals tax and lodging tax. Alexandria had appeared on lists from Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Money magazine and Fortune in 2023.
