  • Large 150-acre property with internal shuttle service to move guests around the grounds.
  • Nearby attractions include Grove Park Country Club, Grovewood Gallery, and Beaver Lake within a short drive.

Pick the Omni if you want mountain views, property amenities, and easy access to outdoor drives; expect a short drive into downtown.

Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel is in the middle of downtown, making it convenient for walking to cultural and civic attractions.

  • Centrally located near Pack Square, Thomas Wolfe Memorial, Asheville Art Museum and multiple theaters.
  • Short walk to restaurants, bars, and event venues such as Harrah's Cherokee Center–Asheville.
  • Preferred airport: Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) about 15.1 mi / 24.4 km away (distance from property to airport provided by supplier).

Choose the Renaissance for maximum downtown walkability and direct access to Asheville’s city attractions.

Rooms: variety and scale

  • Late-night entertainment at Elaine’s Dueling Piano Bar (21+) and live music in the Great Hall Bar on weekends.
