Perfection! Thank you to Lark Hospitality for giving these properties new life. The restoration is flawless and the rooms are gorgeous. The location is perfect - adjacent to the South Slope and just downhill from the heart of downtown Asheville. These magnificent homes could have easily been torn down to make room for condos or a modern hotel. Instead, they’ve been preserved and renewed for travelers to enjoy. Breakfast was easy, fast and delicious, parking was FREE, and the staff was super...

The Windsor Boutique Hotel

Downtown Asheville

10/10 Excellent

We were in town for a mid-week concert and decided to try some place a little different. We could not have made a better decision. This really is a different kind of hotel experience. With only 14 rooms, each with its own layout and decor, and local artwork lining the halls, you can see that the owners put some thought into the renovation of this old building. There is no 24-hour lobby attendant, each guest receives a code to enter the front door. It was very peaceful inside, with a...

The Lion and the Rose B&B

Historic Montford

10/10 Excellent

I absolutely loved staying at The Lion and The Rose. It is a charming property with a rich history and lovely owners. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a complimentary glass of micro brewed beer and the utmost friendliness. After a short tour, I was escorted to my room. It was lovely- the fainting couch was more comfortable than my bed at home. The radiator gave off the most comforting heat and I really felt like I could truly relax in my room- unlike at some hotels which feel sterile. Karen,...

10/10 Excellent

This hotel is amazing. This was my second stay and you can bet I will be returning again soon. The staff is attentive. The rooms are well thought out and unique. I love the robes and the bed and sheets are cozy. Afterglow has the best drinks I recommend the sunset dreams. I haven’t tried the restaurant yet and the rooftop bar wasn’t open on either of my visits but I can’t wait to try them. You can’t beat the location. Just a short walk to several restaurants, bars, and breweries.

Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate

South Asheville

10/10 Excellent

This is our second time staying at the Village Hotel. We like how close it is to dining and activities, like the winery and the village. Parking is plentiful and free. The only thing I would change is that the Estate has a shuttle for Inn guests only, but I would make it available to all guests, because it literally drives right past the Village hotel with no one on it. If the Estate is priding itself on local, sustainable, environmentally friendly efforts then why force everyone to drive when...
