Asheville, NC – Boutique Hotels & More
Asheville boutique hotels are perfectly situated in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. That means more to explore and more fun for you. Hop in the car for an Asheville day trip to the lake, to explore the nearby waterfalls, hike the trails, or even venture down inside some caverns. Rather stay close to your cozy home away from home? There’s plenty of art, music, and history in Asheville to keep you happily entertained.
Fun Fact: Asheville has more craft breweries per capita than any other U.S. city. Plus, it’s won the coveted title of “Beer City USA” on several occasions. There are even beer festivals, beer craft fairs (think beer soap), and beer tours. (Side note: The city has also earned the title of “Happiest City in America”… think they’re related?) You probably won’t even have to leave your hotel to sample some of the best craft beers in the U.S., as most hotel bars and restaurants are proud to offer the best local suds. Prefer a glass of wine? Ask your hotel’s restaurant for a recommendation from a local winery.
If you’re a teetotaler, your taste buds certainly won’t be neglected, as many of the area’s boutique hotels offer scrumptious farm-to-table dining and unique tasting menus. Several properties indulge guests with locally-made chocolates, freshly-baked cookies, and regional afternoon teas.

When to Go
There’s never not a good time to visit Asheville, but March to May and September through early November are our pick. With four distinct seasons, there’s a best time for everyone. Because Asheville is cooler than most parts of the Southeast, summer gets busy as folks head to the mountains to escape the heat. Fall foliage here is stunning and attracts locals and visitors alike. Winters are quite mild, and snowfall is less than 16” per year. Spring brings pretty blooms and fewer tourists.
