Excellent meal with excellent service. The hotel had been renovated well since my last visit. Will definitely come back for a meal when I return to my old stomping ground again. Alexandra hotel is the only place for a great meal and at a reasonable cost

We had a delicious meal at the Alexandria Hotel. Such a lovely outdoor area that we dined in, the place was buzzing with other diners. The staff were lovely and the pie and veges were amazing. We will be back.

While a breathtaking backdrop and A-list amenities are always on offer at The Alex, be sure to check in and find out more about regular events, activities and entertainment scheduled throughout the week.

But as lovely as Leura may be, the historical hotel at its heart comes with its own irresistible magnetism that may make it hard to ever leave! Renovated in 2014, The Alex has long been a hidden gem. However, it has recently re-established itself as a regional leader in exclusive accommodation experiences. Today, all guests who stay at The Alex will fall in love with its ability to seamlessly combine classic, regal architecture with the contemporary comforts of a world-class hotel.

The Alexandra Hotel has been built on one of the finest locations in Scotland to take full advantage of the glories of Oban Bay, complete with outstanding views across to the Island of the Inner Hebrides. It is a beautiful Victorian building situated between the lodgings of the Bishop of Argyll & the Isles and the Old Oban Baptist church. The site allows easy access to the town of Oban and a superb walk along the coastal road to Ganavan Beach. Guests can enjoy stunning views of Oban Bay, the island of Kerrera and the surrounding area, and may even spot colourful sunsets, seabirds, and seals in the evenings. The interior of the hotel has been completely renovated while still retaining many of its original features, and the glass frontage allows guests to enjoy the views at any time of the day.

McCaig's Tower, often referred to as McCaig's Folly, is a notable tower on Battery Hill that provides a view of the town of Oban in the Scottish region of Argyll. It has two storeys and 94 lancet arches, and it is made of Bonawe granite that was extracted from quarries on Loch Etive across Airds Bay from Muckairn.

On a hilltop north of the town of Oban, in the region of Argyll on Scotland's west coast, is a small, abandoned castle called Dunollie Castle. The location has views of the town, harbour, and nearby isles in addition to views of the island of Kerrera.

One of Oban's two "must visit" perspectives, Pulpit Hill rises to a height of around 239 feet above the south side of the bay. McCaig's Tower, located over the east side of the bay, is the other. The great views Pulpit Hill offers beyond the island of Kerrera, which is located across Oban Bay, allow one to truly appreciate the intricate interactions between the islands and the mainland surrounding the Firth of Lorn.

Through increased knowledge and comprehension of the marine system and the difficulties it faces, the Ocean Explorer Centre equips audiences to actively contribute to a healthy and sustainably managed marine environment. The Ocean Explorer Centre aspires to deliver an exceptional tourist experience through motivating, captivating, and timely "edutainment" and thought-provoking activities at competitive pricing.

The Hotel Alexandra, historically the Walworth Building, is a High Victorian Gothic structure built in the 1870s with a sandstone faade at the corner of Washington Street and Massachusetts Avenue in the South End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.[1] The structure is located within the South End Landmark District which was established in 1983.[2]

The hotel was developed by the Walworth Brothers who founded The Walworth Manufacturing Company which was a pioneer in steam technology in the late 19th century.[3] This is likely the reason the hotel was equipped with a rare steam powered elevator. The hotel is of Victorian Heritage as it was named after Alexandra of Denmark. The hotel was opened in 1875 to crowded cobblestone streets, filled not with cars, but horses and buggies. The South End of Boston was barely 20 years old. Always a distinct building, the hotel originally stood prominently especially since most of the buildings around it were warehouses. In 1900 the hotel began a gradual desolation after the opening of an elevated train line right outside.

The hotel was discovered indefinitely vacant in the early 1990s. The residential hotel, which featured 50 rooms and 2,000 square-foot flats with high, elegant ceilings, was acquired by the Church of Scientology.[5]

In 2018, Alexandra Partners proposed restoring the historic faade of the Alexandra and constructing a 13-story hotel tower at the rear and side of the existing structure. The project received all the necessary approvals from city agencies in late 2019.[6]

The 1875 building has had multiple owners and many years of failed development proposals, its upper floors sitting empty since the hotel closed in the 1970s. But Alexandra Partners LLC, the latest team vying to revive it, has just cleared its final hurdle in a labyrinthine development-review process.

Bhogal and development partner Thomas Calus originally pitched a 150-room boutique hotel there in 2018, and closed a year later on an $11 million deal to buy the building from the Church of Scientology of Boston Inc. The Church of Scientology had owned it for a decade, planning a local headquarters there, but never broke ground. The new development team was ready to go with a hotel. Then came COVID.

The developers floated the property for sale, but got no takers. Then they came back to city officials last July with a plan for condos. The total unit mix fluctuated following visits to the Zoning Board of Appeal, but now with a final approval from the South End Landmarks Commission, the 70-unit figure is set.

It is located in the centre of Kos town, 100m from the harbor and 400m from cosmopolitan beaches with exciting water sports. Also close at hand are the castle, the museum and important archaeological sites, as well as merry entertainment at night. Despite its superb central location, the hotel inside is calm and quiet.

The interior of Alexandra Hotel is modern yet classy, the rooms spacious, and the decor contemporary. Its distinguishing feature, however, is the outstanding service, the cleanliness, the hospitality in general. The professionalism and eagerness of the staff create the warm atmosphere that guarantees return visits.

An noble house in a fine building, renowned as an integral part of the city's artistic heritage and situated in a street famed all over for its elegance and its vibrant Dolce Vita. Hotel Alexandra Rome is a two steps to American embassy, Hard Rock Caf and Teatro Sistina.

Experience the thrill of a unique atmosphere, that will guide you through the 20th century, with its noble passion and supreme beauty. An exclusive and refined style of hospitality that takes its values into a centuries-old experience of a family of hotel owners.

In Via Veneto, between age-old sycamore tree sand exclusive clubs, the Hotel Alexandra is an exciting and convenient location. Metro stop is very close to it and the most beautiful monuments are within a walking distance.

Furthermore, our hotel is located near the Policlinico Umberto I and the offices of numerous Embassies and Consulates.

Directly overlooking the sea, very close to the beach and the Promenade of Cap-Martin, the hotel benefits from a privileged location in the Bay of Roquebrune and offers an exceptional view that extends from Menton to the Italian coast.

Dear Owners of the present Alexandra Hotel,

Our family has been residents of the South End since 1986. My paternal great grandparents along with my grandfather and seven siblings arrived from Baden Baden Germany in 1870 and called this area their home. So I guess my roots and dedication to this area has been in my blood for a very long time.

As a community activist for most of my life, former president of Blackstone Franklin Neighborhood Association, was chair of the Washington Street Task Force under the late Mayor Thomas M. Menino, was the Deputy Director of Community Planning at the Boston Redevelopment Authority for 16.5 years now called the Boston Planning and Development Agency, was chair and board member of Washington Gateway Main Street for 17 years and now a board member of the South End Business Alliance. No one else understands Washington Street area and the importance of the corner of Washington Street and Massachusetts Avenue. I have dedicated my personal and professional career to the redevelopment of the Washington Street area.

The present site of the vacant Alexandra Hotel is a disgrace. Repeated attempts to develop this building have been attempted by many developers and been vacant for over 50 years as you are aware. Also thousands of hours have been dedicated to improving this corner by many volunteers over the years.

The present condition is an embarrassment since this truly is a gateway coming into the South End and the City of Boston. You've allowed the graffiti to grow, expanded to other properties in the area, the graffiti is now on the boarded up plywood on the hotel, the present scrim on the front has graffiti on it and is torn in many places. The graffiti grows since this building is covered with graffiti and unwanted advertisements, continues to deface this historic building.

It's your responsibility to take down all the unwanted posters and paint over the graffiti on the plywood and doors etc with a dark color. Post " no advertising " on the plywood. Put up a new scrim on the front of the Alexandra Hotel on Washington Street. Hire a company to power wash the sidewalks around this site and in the alleyway. The present condition of the building is making the area feel very unsafe for our businesses, nonprofits and residents of the area. I understand taking off the graffiti on the stone surfaces is problematic, however the rest can be removed by simply painting off the graffiti and spending some money to improve this site.

I also understand that your investment is once again for sale, however why would a buyer purchase this building in this condition? As I tell my clients that when you are going through an approval process and after, you need to be good neighbors and keep the building and the perimeter in good condition

This site is a blight on the area. Action and commitment to this historic building needs to be taken NOW.

Sincerely yours,

Randi Grohe Lathrop
