The Restoration
One of the newest luxury hotels in downtown Asheville is The Restoration. Located in a recently renovated space across the street from Pritchard Park, this boutique hotel in downtown Asheville has no shortage of dining and entertainment options.
What is especially striking about The Restoration is the showstopping decor throughout. Whether it’s the cool decor and funky books in the library, the high ceilings in their on-site restaurant or the natural light at their Observatory bar, you are bound to be impressed.
Something else worth mentioning is their use of Gilchrist & Soames bath products throughout the hotel. They also have Restoration bathrobes in each room to really feel at home. And what’s really great is that you can expect a certain level of cleanliness and newness given its age. It opened in the spring of 2023.

And if you end up ever leaving the hotel, you will be delighted to find out it is in the middle of, well, everything.

The Haywood Park Hotel is situated in the historic Bon Marche department store building. It has a fun retro feel with huge bright rooms. But, be warned, they aren’t the most up-to-date rooms. Some have a European style and others have a midcentury modern aesthetic. But it’s a cool spot and definitely in a great location.
