The Flat Iron Hotel

I recently stayed at this hotel to celebrate my birthday weekend with my mom, and I can confidently say it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make the occasion feel special, and every moment of our stay was memorable. The rooms were spacious and so clean. Every floor has a small cafe including a variety of teas, coffees, water and sparkling water. A huge thank you to Paul, who warmly welcomed us at check-in and provided outstanding concierge service throughout our stay. His thoughtful recommendations and attention to detail set the tone for a seamless and relaxing getaway. We were also blown away by the hotel’s dining experiences. Luminosa was, without question, the best meal we had during our entire trip. Red Ribbon Society was another standout, offering both atmosphere and impeccable service that elevated the evening. Every element, from the warm hospitality to the beautiful ambiance, made this trip unforgettable. I’m so grateful for the care and effort that went into making my birthday weekend so special. I can’t wait to return!

This place is wonderful! We were welcomed in with a smile and offered a nice beverage to settle down with. The check in was easy and we were given some great recommendations for dinner and maybe a drink or two. The hotel was quiet and quaint. We enjoyed all of the plaques detailing the history of the hotel and various people. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was fantastic! When we checked out, we inquired about the downstairs seating and were personally taken down by an employee to see if even though it isn’t open for use on the day we left! This place is wonderful and the people are, too. If you get a chance to stay you won’t regret it.

What a fantastic hotel and staff! We had a wonderful stay. The hotel was originally an office building built in the 1920s and it was converted into a first class hotel. The rooms are beautiful. Wonderful rooftop bar as well as a Speak Easy in the basement. One of the coolest parts is throughout the hotel, there are door signs that indicate what business had occupied the spaces years ago. It is an outstanding example of adaptive reuse. We dealt mostly with Paul who was wonderful. Ahmed was the valet and could not have been nicer. Asheville is back open and needs folks to come and spend your money visiting. If you come, book your stay at The Flat Iron! You will not regret it!

Such a lovely hotel! Excellent service + friendly staff. Rooftop bar was very nice and turned into a coffee bar in the morning. Our room was snug but charming & I imagine there are a variety of room sizes/layouts. My husband needed to take care of some work while we were there & staff made sure he was comfortably set up in a work space with an awesome view of downtown. Will definitely be back.

A fantastic and unique experience. We stayed at the hotel for our anniversary and had an amazing time. The hotel is beautifully done, and the service was incredible. When I travel, I'm always looking for an experience that embodies the culture of the area and differentiates it. This hotel does an excellent job at that. The building is a converted office building that retains its historic charm and character. Will certainly be back soon.

We stayed over two nights for a birthday/anniversary weekend and really enjoyed ourselves. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and greeted us every time we entered or left. The hotel itself is newly renovated and everything was clean and in good repair. The room was decently sized and the bed was comfortably firm. Great pillows as well. Further, though located downtown, there was very little audible city noise. The location is great and just steps from the Civic Center where we walked for a music performance. We went to the rooftop which offers a great view but we did not have breakfast or a drink there. We did have dinner at Luminosa and will review that separately.

Wow! This hotel is FANTASTIC! You truly cannot ask for a more central location, friendly staff, clean and unique rooms, delicious food and drinks and beautiful rooftop bar! I could go on and on, it was wonderful. We stayed just one night for our anniversary and I’m so glad we did! My only true regret is not trying their famous lemon ricotta pizza and eating at the hotel restaurant— we hear it’s wonderful but we didn’t have reservations. This place is a must stay! And visit their unique speakeasy downstairs.

We've been to Asheville several times. The Flat Iron Hotel has become my favorite place to stay. The bed & linens are the best! The room is comfortable & well-designed. I appreciate the sunny bathroom and fabulous shower! I found the central beverage station on the floor fun and gave more options than just coffee. It's also easy to walk to so many wonderful restaurants and other places to visit. The service was fantastic, genuinely friendly & supportive. We look forward to our next stay!

The hotel looks very pretty. There is a dining room to the left as soon as you walk into the lobby. We only went for some cocktails on at the rooftop bar. The drinks were o.k. I was expecting the grapefruit juice to be fresh squeezed, but it was too sweet. The Lemon Drop Martini didn't have the surgat rim on the first one?? The atmosphere is nice. We were there on a Monday evening, just as they opened. There were 3 outside balconies and the inside areas to choose from. I called prior to coming, and they said there are no reservations required. It is first come, first served. When we did get up there, the balcony facing the sun had reserved plaques on the tables. When I asked the bartender, she said it was reserved for a tour? When we left an hour later, the balcony with the sunset view was still empty. Also, since we were the first guests there that evening, I would have expected the tables to be cleaned. All the tables were a little sticky and had many drink rings from, I assume, the evening before. It was a nice view. Will probably try a different rooftop bar next time.

The hotel's common areas and rooms are clean, uniquely decorated and comfortable. Every staff member we spoke with was friendly and extremely helpful. My family and I throughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Asheville.

Outstanding staff, fantastic restaurant. Luminosa! Great nights sleep! Keep up the great work!
