History, culture, and natural scenery beautifully converge in Asheville, a charming North Carolina city set in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Some come to Asheville to explore the downtown galleries and buzzy culinary scene. Others want to soak up the lush mountain scenery or explore the Biltmore Estate, an 8,000-acre property with gardens, a winery, restaurants, and the massive Gilded Age mansion built by George Vanderbilt. Hotel options in Asheville emphasize boutique properties, luxury hotels, and even some lodgings right at the Estate. Here are the best hotels in Asheville.

The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa (290 Macon Ave.; 800-438-5800) Asheville

Located about two miles from downtown, the 513-room Omni Grove Park Inn, set in a 1913 building, “balances a rich history with modern amenities and features.” Travel+Leisure says it has “amazing views of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountain ranges.” Onsite amenities include a golf course, pools, and a spa, alongside a sports complex with a gym and pickleball courts. You can do a self-guided audio tour of the resort to learn about its history and its décor. A Google reviewer calls it “worth every dollar. The whole place gives cozy lodge vibes, even though it’s a large resort. You could stay here for days without needing to leave, but you’re only about 10 minutes from downtown.” >> Book this hotel for less

Kimpton Hotel Arras (7 Patton Ave.; 828-255-0303) Asheville

Travel+ Leisure calls this Kimpton, housed in a former bank building, “sleek and modern” and “puts you in the center of all things Asheville. Rooms are outfitted with cozy robes, yoga mats, and local artwork.” The hotel has a Peloton-equipped fitness center, a massage room, and a restaurant and bar—and some rooms have mountain views. A Google reviewer likes the “complimentary morning coffee and late afternoon wine, beer, and appetizers. Shopping and restaurants were within walking distance, and a short drive gets you to the historic Biltmore and Blue Ridge Parkway.” >> Book this hotel for less


The Foundry Hotel Asheville, Curio Collection by Hilton (51 S Market St.; 828-552-8545) Asheville

Housed in a former steel mill, this 87-room boutique hotel is “the definition of a stylish city hotel,” writes Travel +Leisure. Details include “exposed brick and an original elevator pulley system” plus “a large-scale mural to highlight historically noteworthy Black businesses on The Block.” A Google reviewer likes that “it’s within walking distance to everything downtown. There’s also a cute courtyard area with fire pits where you can lounge and play board games they have available.” >> Book this hotel for less

The Inn on Biltmore Estate (1 Antler Hill Rd.; 800-411-3812) Asheville

If you came to Asheville to see the Biltmore Estate, you get a front row seat staying at one of three onsite hotels. This 210-room hotel is the most luxurious of the three (the other two include a mid-range hotel and cottages), plus you can enjoy free shuttle service to the Biltmore House and Antler Hill Village & Winery. “The 19th-century French- and English-manor style rooms are polished but comfortable,” writes Travel+Lesiure. “Note the ‘V’ for Vanderbilt monogram on the bed pillows and lush wallpaper.” Hotel perks include an onsite spa, a restaurant and bar, plus unlimited visits to the Biltmore House. A Tripadvisor user likes the “exclusive location. Our room was a Grand King and had an amazing view of the mountains and the vineyard.” >> Book this hotel for less

Grand Bohemian Lodge Asheville, Autograph Collection (11 Boston Way; 828-505-2949) Asheville

Travel+Leisure describes this hotel located across the street from the Biltmore Estate as a “Tudor-meets-mountain-retreat” with “velvet couches, stone fireplaces, antler lighting, and ornately carved wooden pieces.” Enjoy the spa and fitness center, and don’t miss the art in the Grand Bohemian Gallery. A Google reviewer writes that “the whole place has such a cool vibe—everything is new and fresh. The spa was small but gave a great massage. You can’t get closer to the Biltmore without staying on the grounds.” >> Book this hotel for less
