The hype
Travelers rave about the friendly staff and the 'spotless' modern rooms, but many find the price tag steep for the room size.
Kimpton Hotel Arras
$300-500/ nuit
Réservez si You want the most pet-friendly luxury stay in Asheville with killer mountain views and a location that's walkable to literally everything.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Zero pet fees and no size restrictions (bring your Great Dane)
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in a former bank tower offer the best views in town
- Free 'Mini Me' milk fridges delivered on demand for nursing parents
En bref : It's the tallest building in Asheville, which means unbeatable views but also no escaping the downtown siren soundtrack if you're on a low floor.
Évalué par @nycyorkiegirls: I took my Yorkies to Kimpton Hotel Arras and we were obsessed! From the custom dog treats at check-in to doing yoga with a city view, everything was perfect. They even let the pups hang out at the bar with me. Definitely the most dog-friendly luxury spot in Asheville.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'City View' rooms often just look at other buildings and come with more street noise; you really need to pay for the 'Mountain View' to get the experience you see on Instagram.
- You are traveling with a dog (or two)
- You appreciate modern, art-forward design over historic stuffiness
- You want to walk to 20+ breweries and restaurants without needing an Uber

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir
- The $20 daily amenity fee credit works at Bargello or District 42—use it or lose it.
- Elevators are 'destination dispatch' (scan key, it tells you which car to take), which confuses first-timers.
- Check the Kimpton social media for the current 'Secret Password' (e.g., 'The Life of a Kimpton Guest') to get a free perk at check-in.
Quoi emporter
- Earplugs if you end up on a lower floor
- Walking shoes—Asheville is hilly but very walkable from here
- Your dog's favorite toy (though they provide beds and bowls)
Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix
- Corner King rooms for dual-aspect windows and maximum light
- Mountain View rooms on floors 10+ for the iconic Blue Ridge panorama
Chambres à éviter
- Lower floor rooms facing Patton Avenue (noise central)
- Standard 'City View' rooms if you care about the view (often just faces a brick wall or parking deck)
Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I would love to request a high-floor room (10th floor or higher) facing the mountains to minimize street noise. If a Corner King is available, that would be my top choice.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is it really dog friendly?
Yes, genuinely. No fees, no size limits, no breed restrictions. They even have a 'Director of Pet Relations' dog on site.
Is breakfast included?
No. It's a la carte at Bargello. However, you can use your $20 daily amenity fee credit toward it.
How much is parking?
Valet is approximately $32/night. There are public garages nearby (like the Rankin Ave garage) if you want to self-park and walk, but it's a hassle with luggage.
Does the hotel have a pool?
No pool. If you need a swim, this isn't the spot.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a well-equipped fitness center with Peloton bikes and free weights.
What is the 'Secret Password'?
It changes seasonally (e.g., 'The Life of a Kimpton Guest' for Winter 2025). Say it at check-in for a prize like free parking or a drink voucher.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Ask for the 'Mini Me Milk Fridge' if you're nursing—it's a dedicated breast milk storage fridge delivered free to your room.
- ✨
The hotel offers free guided art tours of their local collection—ask the front desk for the schedule.
- ✨
Bargello's pizza is wood-fired and excellent; don't overlook it just because it's a 'hotel restaurant'.
