Lovely boutique hotel with a classy, art deco vibe. It’s conveniently located—an easy walk to downtown restaurants, shops, breweries, galleries, etc. Staff is attentive and personable, parking is onsite. It’s truly a unique gem in Asheville.

Amazing property in the heart of Asheville. Staff is super courteous and helpful. The parking makes it easy to get in and out (although we didn't move our vehicle once we arrived.) Breakfast was perfect with some tasty offerings and the cocktail lounge at night was spectacular. At bedtime the room was dark and quiet.

We had a wonderful stay! This hotel is such a special property. Our room was lovely and we really enjoyed the thoughtful design and style of the place. Being able to walk right across the street to the concert venue was amazing. Customer service was outstanding. Jake was especially helpful and kind, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! The breakfast was tasty too. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave!

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Rooms are quiet, well-designed, and beautifully decorated. It’s so unique! Appreciated that I could easily walk to shops and restaurants downtown. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only (negligible) downside was that they were unaware of the VIP benefits I was supposed to have received through my Expedia booking.

EXCELLENT! This is my new favorite place in town. It’s an art deco style gorgeously appointed and thoughtful place. The rooms were stunning with massive bathrooms, the staff was beyond helpful, and the three houses that make up the property give it such charm. I wish I could vote this higher.

Fantastic Boutique Hotel

Absolutely wonderful! From the service, to the well thought out design, to the delicious breakfast, this place is a gem. The location is fantastic — a minute walk to The Orange Peel, nothing like being able to see a concert and not have to worry about fighting traffic, and the proximity to all the restaurant and shopping can’t be beat. Our room was well appointed and we barely heard any of the other guests, we slept soundly. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.
