"Reimagined in 2019 from the former BB&T Bank building—the tallest structure in western North Carolina—this 128-room downtown Asheville hotel sits within a mixed-use condo development, within walking distance of top restaurants (including Cúrate) and a short drive from numerous mountain hiking trails. True to the Kimpton brand, it’s very pet-friendly: pets can attend a daily early-evening lobby social hour and join their humans on the terrace of restaurant Bargello, with no hidden pet fees. Bookable from about 30,000 IHG One Rewards points per night, current IHG card welcome offers can yield multiple free nights." - Paul Rubio
