The Flat Iron Hotel

The 12 Best Hotels in Asheville, North Carolina - AFAR

"Housed in Asheville’s 1920s second high-rise and reborn as a 71-room boutique, this property preserves historic details like terrazzo floors and a grand marble staircase while offering playful period touches (rooms named after 1920s icons and a bright red 1939 Steinway in the lobby). The rooftop bar spans three patios—one with firepits—for sunset cocktails and sweeping views, and a speakeasy-style downstairs lounge harkens back to anti-Prohibition history. The on-site restaurant blends modern Appalachia with Italian classics using hyperlocal ingredients, and the dimly lit dining room—scented by firewood—complements wood-fired dishes from a kitchen known for inventive items like beef-fat tater tots." - Jenn Rice
