Fodor's Expert Review The Restoration Asheville

This newer luxury hotel has an enviable central location overlooking Pritchard Park. The renovated bank building includes a rooftop bar, a coffee shop, and a restaurant, The Exchange, that draws from Appalachian farms and purveyors. A basement bar, the Draftsman, has two bowling lanes, Skee-Ball, and a stage for live music. Rooms vary from small to generous, and all feature design-forward touches like herringbone tine, marble vanities, and leather and brick accents. Eight rooms on the fourth floor feature balconies overlooking the park.
