Alexandria, Virginia (King Street area)
I know that this location appeared in an earlier post, but there are now 4 Hilton properties, all easily accessible from the King Street Metro station. They are the Hilton Old Town (I stay there very often), Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn-Alexandria Old Town, and the Hampton Inn-Alexandria Old Town/King St. Metro. The Hampton Inn is the farthest from the station (approx. 0.3 mile walk). I've found all four locations to be very good quality properties.

Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Mall of the Emirates and Doubletree by hilton Hotel and Residences Dubai Al Barsha.
Both of them are near the Mall of the Emirates: the HGI is on the side of the Sky Dubai, the Doubletree is behind the Mall. Not more than 300 meters away with a 5-10 minutes walk crossing a couple of streets.
Rates are quite similar. I stayed only at the HGI which offers an excellent breakfast (one of the best I found in a HGI), but to a Gold or Diamond member I suggest the Doubletree for the better upgrades.

Google puts it at 650 metres, and due to construction and typical Dubai footpaths (or lack there of), plus the Dubai heat, it seems even further than that!
The suites at the HGI are nice, but they only seem to upgrade to them if the property is full (which is fine - upgrades aren't a benefit at HGI).
