I am so grateful to have found this local hotel so close to lots of good food, beer and music. The staff were so friendly and I could tell they loved their job. Our room was gorgeous and felt like our own little getaway. I would highly recommend staying here instead of the hotel chains in town.

Best in Asheville

This beautiful boutique hotel has become our reliable place to stay in Asheville. Even if it wasn’t so good, the location is perfect for our family. Think art deco with southern hospitality.

This hotel is amazing! It is in a great location with parking. They offered complimentary pastries from a local bakery for breakfast. The room was spacious, clean, and had essentials like a steamer, q-tips, hair dryer, and robes. I also love how the hotel is decorated in the art deco style. There is a really cute courtyard in between the buildings that had fire pits and seating. All of the staff that we encountered were so nice. Even the maintenance/grounds staff that we ran into asked how our stay was. We can’t wait to stay here again in the future!

Believe the hype

Hands down the most impressive hotel in Asheville. Our suite should have cost two to three times what we paid. The room/furnishings/service were all top notch. I was hesitant to believe all the positive reviews before we booked-believe the hype. This place is a hidden gem.
