The 'breakfast basket' delivered to your door feels like a Wes Anderson movie prop (in a good way)
The Observatory rooftop bar actually lives up to the hype with Blue Ridge views that justify the $16 cocktails
Basement bowling alley and speakeasy (The Draftsman) means you don't have to leave the hotel to have a night out
Resumo Rápido: It's a stunning, self-contained playground for adults that charges a premium for the vibe, but actually delivers on the aesthetics.
Revisado por @roxanne_fashionably: I’m obsessed with the dark academia vibe here. The library lounge was my favorite spot to unwind, and the room felt super cozy with the exposed brick. It’s right in the heart of downtown, so exploring was easy. Definitely the coolest stay in Asheville.
