Top-rated hotels in Asheville
The best supported guest scores in Asheville, ranked by how many verified stays sit behind each one. Twelve four-star stays, from Kenilworth inns to downtown lofts, for couples, families and business travellers planning a short break in the North Carolina mountains.
Staying in Asheville
Asheville sits in North Carolina, and this list holds 12 four-star places to stay, each with its own page built from the booking supplier's record. The addresses run from Kenilworth Road and Cumberland Circle in the south to Patton Avenue and Broadway Street in the centre, with a cluster of downtown properties on South Market Street, Haywood Street, Clayton Street and Upstream Way. The Inn on Biltmore Estate stands apart on Antler Hill Rd, and the Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa sits higher up on Macon Avenue.
Couples tend to gravitate to the small inns and boutique addresses, where guest scores reach 5.0 at Sweet Biscuit Inn, 4.9 at The Applewood Manor and Elevation Lofts, and 4.8 at Bunn House and The Windsor Boutique Hotel. Families and business travellers have the larger downtown options, including DoubleTree by Hilton Asheville Downtown on Haywood St and Kimpton Hotel Arras by IHG on Patton Avenue. For a short break, the downtown addresses put you within the city grid, while the estate and mountain-side stays trade that for quieter grounds.
