If you are looking for a hotel that feels more like a vacation rental, a good fit may be one of 14 shabby-chic suites that have a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and living room. From the lobby — which has rustic, industrial, and country-French decor elements — you can reach the friendly concierge staff and the full-service spa. The location in Downtown Asheville is close to restaurants, shops, breweries, and galleries.
