We had a great time at the Blind Tiger! Our room was comfy and well appointed, and the decoration and overall vibe of the place were unique and great. We would have loved for the jets in the tub to be actually working, however we realize the description of the room does say soaking tub. But that was a minor thing, highly recommended and will stay here again.

Amazing boutique hotel :)

My wife and I visited Asheville for our anniversary and stayed at The Blind Tiger. It is a wonderful boutique hotel that is beautifully decorated with unique vintage art and furniture. It also is just a short walk from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
