Mixed drinks
Doretta W.

Hello. This will be my experience over the course of a 10 day stay here in Asheville. I will post at the end. I hope this helps. Day 1: Check in & Room The checking was super easy, and the staff was very nice. The valet parking was a little wonky with only one valet on a Friday evening. The first impression of the hotel .. stunning. Loved the nooks, the books, the decor of an old professor's English cottage. The location is in the middle of downtown with most shopping and food within walking distance. The room is spacious and well designed with one sitting area for the TV and one for the view out to the mountains. The lighting has a layered affect allowing for dim to bright. Plenty of space for clothes and personal items. Beautiful full length mirror. Honor bar ... coffee, tea, mixed drinks and snacks. The frig has water, beer, wine and more. My room has a separate tub and shower and both are large. A stopped in at the Draftsmen, downstairs bar and fun room, for a late dinner. Definitely headed back .. it looked super fun. The staff was nice. Day 2: The hotel has a super, cute and convenient tradition ... a breakfast basket at your door by 8am. It had cereal and milk, oranges, and a few trail mix bars. The shower, however, has luke warm water by 11am. Let's hope that is not the norm. Well came back to room after dinner, no hot water. I call down and there seems to be no sense of urgency to deal with the issue. Maybe Monday. I might be able to find you a room to take a shower. Wow! Not good! Now 45 minutes later, I get a call to try again as they fixed it. I have hot water again. Yay! Day 3: The breakfast basket has variety .. good! Today was a bagel, cream cheese and an orange. No microwave or toaster(did not expect one) in the room. Had to go downstairs to toast. No problem actually because I was able to grab a Hibiscus Tea at the coffee shop. Cute place with a variety of drinks including Mexican Mochas. A few breakfast sandwiches and pastries as well. I will definitely need to try this space a few more times. TIP: it is only open until noon. I left a Service ASAP on the door, yet for some reason, house keeping skipped over the room. I had to call down. Day 4: Coffee maker not working. Had to call down. It will be tomorrow before they fix it. I tried the robe and slippers .. wow the robe is warm!! Day 5: Breakfast basket was lemon poppy seed muffins with oranges and string cheese. Good. I have my new coffee maker after stopping by the front desk again and finding out it was not on their list of to dos. Pulled the car of valet .. super fast and nice. Found out later when I dropped off the car that the front desk staff was acting as valet also. They are very nice set of staff. Day 6: The bed is super comfy and the curtains let in just the right amount of morning light ... easy to sleep in this hotel. Breakfast basket was an orange, apple, granola bars and yogurt. I am on a hunt for something healthy this morning. Day 7: I finally discovered what one of the light switches on the wall was for ... window lighting. It took using it at night to see the difference. I have been asking for the room to be cleaned everywhere day. They have done a good job for the most past .. they miss a few little things here or there (did not clean the floor one day, missed cleaning toilet another day, refill the bar, etc.). Day 8: Breakfast basket was good .. banana and a muffin. Accessing the valet was easy again today. Day 9: The house keeping did a great job today with the room. Disappointed the Observation is closed, but it appears to be rented out most nights while I have been here. Popped in for a nice drink before dinner ... the bar at The Watch is friendly and large.

This is an incredibly amazing hotel - our experience was so good. From the time we pulled in with the valet, to dinner, drinks and games - it's an experience all in one. The ambiance is very modern and cozy. The restaurants are very good - it even has a lounge on the bottom level with games and entertainment. I won't stay anywhere else when I come back to Asheville.

We were able to book here to celebrate our anniversary and it was well worth it! From start to finish we had great service anywhere we went. The room itself was amazing and with all the amenities you'd love and expect to be there. The bathroom in particular almost made us consider hanging out just to take a bath, ha. There were plenty of things to do and to eat within the same venue as well. The noise was minimal and the room was comfortable. Overall a relaxing stay - will be back!

Came for a private party on the rooftop and the staff was so kind, Chloe was very helpful with insight to the area. 10/10 cant wait to come back.

This hotel was nothing short of amazing! It's decor, cleanliness, staff .... everything! One of my favorites. I've stayed in a lot of hotels around the US and this one, for the value, is by far the best! Loved the restaurant and the breakfast coffee shop. They keep this place in pristine shape and the icing on the cake is the breakfast basket left in front of your hotel room door early every morning. They also have two bars ( on rooftop) in addition to the fantastic restaurant bar.

You are here!

Like its property in Charleston, The Restoration in Asheville sets a new standard for luxury and amenities. It opened in late April 2023. This is truly a boutique hotel, with only 60 rooms. The interior design is elegant and sophisticated. Our room on the fourth floor was spacious and included its own balcony overlooking Pritchard Park. All of the refreshments in your fridge are free, you only pay for snacks or liquor on the counter above. In the morning each room receives a basket with croissants, yogurt and apples. That's super unique! As the hotel's restaurant doesn't open till lunch, you either enjoy the basket or head to the espresso-pastry bar on the main level. I was told the restaurant's hours will expand soon. The Observatory on the sixth floor has great drinks and food to order. Beautiful view of city. The Draftsman Lounge in the lower level is a Gastropub and has arcade games like pinball, skee ball and even Pac-Man. There is a variety of cool Asheville clothing for sale in the lobby. Excellent workout room on the lobby level. It even features Peloton bikes. We took advantage of a Summer Special with discounts up to 25%. Taxes and fees add another 25% to your final bill. Lastly, the staff is super friendly and helpful.

I stayed in this hotel for a school field trip and I absolutely loved it. The room was so big and nice, the workers were lovely, and I just had a great experience overall. I would give this hotel a 4.5/5 if Yelp allowed half-stars. I loved how breakfast was delivered to my door, however the food was ice cold when it arrived. I also asked my classmates and theirs were cold as well. There is a fridge and a coffeemaker in the room but there is no microwave so keep that in mind. Overall I had a nice time here and I would definitely return if I'm ever in the area again.

The expansive Exchange Restaurant at the Restoration Hotel, Asheville, NC

I went with a group of friends and family and spent a couple of hours starting around 5 pm in the new Restoration Hotel, just checking it out. One group parked behind the hotel in the Buncombe County garage and were able to walk across the street and get in the back of the hotel. Another person parked on the street near Prichard Park. We parked in the Drhumor Building lot, which is available to the public after 5 pm. The choices on the app are 1 hour, 2 hours and 8 hours, and we ended up paying $15 for 8 hours since we planned to be downtown for around 3 hours. At this time of day, there was loads of parking. We first went up to the rooftop bar. This is on the sixth floor, with part of the bar inside and part outside. The outside area faces mostly north and somewhat west. It doesn't have the view of some of the other hotel rooftop bars in town, but it's pleasant. Service was a bit slow, but this was a Friday afternoon so not unexpected. The gin and tonics were excellent. The only small problem we had is that a couple in the party ordered what we were told were nonalcoholic beers. These turned out to be Sierra Nevada hops water, not nonalcoholic beer. The waitperson handled this fine, though, and did not charge us for the hoppy water, which none of us likes. We then walked around the hotel a bit. The architects and interior designers have done a fine job with the renovation. You wouldn't believe this formerly was a First Union bank. The huge windows (arched in the back and roll-up "garage" style window in front, allow in a lot of natural light. The entrance lobby is designed to look like a library. At the back of a lobby is a small coffee bar. In the check-in area there's a Valley Courts Motel sign (see photo) used as a piece of art. I love this! The ceilings in the restaurant are made to look like pressed tin, but are a kind of polymer, I think, and the floors look like wood but most appear to be composite. The Exchange, the hotel's main restaurant (see photo), first of all, is really large for a hotel restaurant. I was expecting kind of a cozy nook, but it must have at least 80 or 90 seats, with a kind of open kitchen in the back. But very attractive. Another interesting thing about the hotel restaurant is the price level. Usually hotels have very expensive restaurants. You know, a burger is $30 or something. But the prices at The Exchange are moderate. There are two burgers on the menu, each priced at $17 with a large serving of fries. I had the smashburger, which has the potential of being one of the top burgers in Asheville if the chef would just stick with the basic smashburger concept of two patties and American cheese. Mine had a kind of mustard-forward sauce and Swiss cheese. It was good, but it could have been great. When it comes to burgers, I think classic is best. Leave the creativity for other dishes. There's also a chicken sandwich for $16 and a trout poboy for $15. Among the starters is a trio of sliders for just $11 and a wedge salad for $8. Good prices! After a relaxing dinner with drinks we went across the street and enjoyed the drumming circle. It's been a while since I've been to it, and it was fun.

Beautiful place with great atmosphere and staff. The bartender Shawn was very attentive and made great drinks. The frozen Mai tai is more delicious than it should be allowed to be. Very refreshing. The deviled eggs made me want a dozen. Beautiful venue inside with a great rooftop area.

Tiarra T.

Beautiful location. You cannot beat the views on the balcony. I didn't stay here. I just arrived for drinks with friends. We ordered the chicken nachos, cheese curds, deviled eggs, and Parmesan fries. Everything was great. I especially like the shape and crunchiness of the fries. The nachos had these excellent red onions that added a nice balance. It was full of cheese, which I love. I didn't try the cheese curds and deviled eggs; however, my friend loved it. Make sure you visit downstairs. They have a small bowling alley with arcade games and a lounge area. I was pleasantly surprised with this location and can't wait to return.

LOVE THIS HOTEL. we visited the rooftop bar and loved the vibe so we booked a room. They upgraded our room and it's gorgeous. We are so pleased with our room and fell in love with the bar--the draftsman. Such a good time & the service was incredible.

The lobby is beautiful and was decorated for Christmas.

My husband and I loved The Restoration Hotel in Charleston so when we saw one had opened in Asheville, we had to stay there for our weekend getaway. The hotel is beautiful and has everything you would want in a boutique hotel - great location, amazingly helpful staff, beautiful surroundings inside and out, comfortable bed and excellent bedding, as well as two bars and a restaurant on site. The complimentary breakfast baskets, snacks in the room, and wine/cheese happy hours are just cherries on top. We did have an issue while we were there and I will say that the entire staff was more than helpful in reaching a resolution that was satisfactory. That is why they still received a five star rating - good customer service goes a long way! We will definitely be back and we will recommend to our friends!

We…read morehad been here many years ago with my aunt and uncle, who wanted to show us the hotel and the famous elevator built into the fireplace it's very old and really interesting. Before coming, I read that the Gingerbread House competition had just ended and that the displays were still up. When we arrived, I didn't realize parking was now paid $30 which was surprising since the first time we visited it was free. Walking up to the hotel is impressive on its own. Seeing how this massive structure was built out of stone so long ago is amazing. Inside, there was a video playing that explained how the hotel was constructed, which was very informative. The roof being made of solid concrete to help make the building waterproof was especially interesting. When you walk through the front doors, the entry is grand and open, with huge fireplaces on both sides. The gingerbread house displays were spread across two floors and were absolutely incredible. It's amazing to see the talent, from young adults to experienced artists. Some of the displays look incredibly realistic. I added photos, and hopefully the video of the grand prize winner shows as well, it's truly impressive. We walked around the rest of the hotel for a while and then stopped for lunch (see my restaurant review). The food was excellent. We hope to return one day and stay here. I'd also love to come back and play a round of golf here.

The overall property, golf course are exceptional. We woke up to a Rafter of wild turkeys in the tee box out our windows!! Our suite was very warm and welcoming. The only issue the needs immediate attention is the pillows. four of us all said the same at breakfast. The last morning, my Wife woke up to a Brown Recluse spider (arguably Deadly). That wasn't the worst of it, the management reaction was apathetical at best. They said their Pest control expert deemed it a wolf spider, still a nasty bite but won't kill you! Every one I showed the pictures from their wall said absolutely a Brown Recluse. After leaving messages with his underlines, with out response, I finally called Cezar, the GM, personally, he had the same attitude, ho hum. Long and short of it, before you book your event at this location, consider if apathy is what you want of a managerial support staff. The attached pics are of the spider in our room, and a wolf for comparison. Google Brown Recluse, and wolf spider images. I have traveled the world in five star hotels, never imagined this management Teams response, or lack of it! Too may Great choices out there.

One night we went exploring and we found an old cargo elevator which was quite neat. From the hotel we were able to walk to many shops and restaurants.

I ended up lining up our extra pillows under my duvet and was able to sleep ok that way. The noise level - cool but old building equals creaky floors, thin walls, and in our 2nd room, loud pipes. Our first room was so loud above we couldn't even enjoy tv at night let alone sleep (of course we had someone who seemed to be logging steps all evening and throughout the night). Positives: Breakfast - we included breakfast with our booking thru Hotels.com, and very glad we did. Service was slow but very friendly. Although I didn't believe them at first, included is any breakfast you want. You order anything off the menu and they remove the tabs from your bill. All the food we had over 3 mornings was fabulous. The water - filtered (and sparkling) water station in the lobby. We stopped by and filled up each day. Service - every employee was friendly and helpful. They happily moved us from a 2nd floor to top after night one was too loud. Restaurant staff always nice, valets were friendly. Great location - easy in and out, perfect location to roam downtown, loads of good restaurants nearby Rooms - decent sized rooms and bathrooms, comfy pillows, power curtains and large windows. Overall after I crafted my own soft mattress and relocated to a top floor room, we ended up having a great stay.

I booked a one-night stay at the Grand Bohemian on New Year's Eve, using points along with an elite night upgrade award. From the moment you arrive, the hotel is impressive. The drive-up experience feels like you're entering the hotel itself. The valet service was outstanding -- they handled our luggage and belongings with great care and provided clear, helpful instructions on where to go for check-in. Walking through the front doors, you're greeted by a large open fireplace with chairs and couches surrounding it, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The associate at check-in was excellent. She thanked us for being Titanium members, provided water, and clearly explained where our room was located. We took some time to walk around the hotel, especially since it had been closed due to last year's flooding. The restoration work was impressive -- floors and walls had been replaced, and much of the décor had either been cleaned or fully refreshed. The hotel looks amazing. We then went up to our second-floor king suite, and it was exceptional. Straight ahead was a large bathroom, with a deck and minibar to the left. Waiting for us was a board with chocolate-covered strawberries and a handwritten card wishing us a happy anniversary and my wife a happy birthday -- a very thoughtful touch. The view from our window overlooked the entrance to the Biltmore Estate. While waiting for our luggage to arrive, we turned on the 65" wall-mounted TV and took in the room. When the luggage arrived, it was promptly unloaded, clothes were hung in the closet, and everything was placed neatly -- truly excellent service. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure. We had a late checkout, so we slept in, went downstairs for breakfast before it ended, then returned to the room for a nap before checking out. Breakfast was very good -- see my separate Yelp review of The Red Stag for details. Overall, this is an outstanding hotel. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you're well taken care of, and everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome. Yes, it's expensive -- but the level of service and attention to detail make it worth it. We will absolutely stay here again, or at one of the other Grand Bohemian hotels.

The showers were nice, bathrobes were super comfy as well as the beds. We like that there was several places in walking distance and a short drive to many restaurants and shops. Definitely a nice luxurious stay for us and they have the best smelling hand soap and lotion! The gym facility had everything I needed to do a solid work out. Really enjoyed staying here!

The location is close enough to downtown so that you can still find food in walking distance yet far enough removed from the noise to give you a bit of quiet. Unlike a downtown hotel, you also don't have to pay through the nose for parking. Staff are pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. The porch and patio areas make for relaxing outdoor spaces. The Princess Anne is an old building and though generally well-maintained, isn't immune to the occasional odd creak. Our room was, overall, fairly spacious (it included a kitchenette and dining/TV area), the bed was comfortable, and everything worked as it should. That said, the bathroom was tiny, even with the sink located in a different room. If you can abide by its quirks, the Princess Anne offers character, comfort, and charm, all at a fairly good value.

We went all out and reserved one of their 3-room "Master Suite". We ended up with THREE, VERY SPACIOUS and well appointed rooms.

There was a breakfast "special of the day" or you could order from the menu. ALL of the staff - from the front desk personell to the servers in the dining room - was great.

The views form the hotel room were beautiful. We went down to the bar to check out the sunset but since our room was on the 10th floor and the bar was on the 4th floor we made our way back up to watch from there. My main complaint was the lack of water access. We had to go to the gym to fill our water bottles up and the water didn't taste very good. Since it was a Sunday night we wanted to relax and watch TV in bed. We couldn't find a physical copy of the TV guide and struggled with the TV remote to scroll through the guide, so we ended up just clicking through channels. The towels were quite rough.

We stayed on the ninth floor facing the mountains, and the view was breathtaking, truly one of the highlights of the trip. Upon check-in, we were welcomed with a glass of champagne, which I appreciated, and even more impressive, they offered complimentary champagne every day from 3 PM to 9 PM. With the mountain views from our room, I didn't even feel the need to visit a rooftop bar! The staff at both check-in and checkout were phenomenal; friendly, efficient, and professional. We also used the valet service, which was excellent. Our car was always ready when we needed it, and the process was smooth every time. I can't say enough positive things about this hotel.

Our room was beautiful, and the bed was incredibly comfortable--exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The only minor downsides were the lack of accessible outlets for charging devices and no easy way to grab ice unless you called the operator or waited for housekeeping. We also noticed that sound traveled a bit--you can hear hallway noise due to the gap under the door. That said, the experience overall was exceptional. There's so much to do on the estate. The highlight for us was the complimentary wine tasting at Antler Hill Village--nearly an hour with 8 tastings per person, which honestly felt like such a great deal. We also rented bikes to explore the property, which was a fun and scenic way to take everything in. While there are several dining options, reservations are definitely needed--probably the only logistical wrinkle during our stay.

Both rooms were decked out for Christmas and as its focal point had a fireplace. The food was very good -- mostly we partook of the breakfast buffet (which was part of our package) and had a nice dinner there before our tour of Biltmore House. Service was excellent, from the hotel staff to the valet staff (they tried to bring us the Aston Martin (lol), to the dining staff and the shooting instructor (we had a clay shooting lesson). There is plenty to do for a long weekend -- biking, carriage rides, shooting, falconry, winery tour, riding, shopping, gardens, Biltmore House (of course), and more. A shuttle takes you to the different locations -- the winery, the shopping, the house, the gardens -- so if you didn't have a car you could get around via shuttle. I've wanted to visit Biltmore for many years and it definitely lived up to expectations. Staying at the Inn is one way to be close to the house. It was a very nice experience.
