Located on our roof are bee boxes in conjunction with the Bee Institute to promote sustainability. This spacious hotel offers over 22,000 sq. ft. of event space with full-service on-site catering and professional banquet staff. Their downtown location means you can walk to the breweries or take a short ride to the Biltmore. After your fun-filled day of hiking, rafting, or ziplining, a modern guest room awaits you. Select rooms & suites offer high floors and sweeping mountain views. A unique amenity to our Asheville hotel is an indoor junior Olympic pool, open year-round.
