Kimpton Hotel Arras by IHG
Restaurant had good food, and the free Happy Hour was great! The bar was nice too, and our room was comfortable and had a great view. Also this hotel is right in the middle of all the great restaurants in downtown Asheville, everything was super walkable.

The Foundry Hotel Asheville, Curio Collection by Hilton
Atmosphere was so cute and the hotel was cozy! Only two complaints we had were the unexpected construction happening outside our window at 7:30 in the morning, and the awkward pathways for the luggage trolleys.
