Crowne Plaza Resort Asheville by IHG

Mountain Views, Music Vibes, and Resort-Style Relaxation

The Crowne Plaza Resort Asheville is a peaceful, outdoorsy escape just minutes from downtown Asheville’s bustling live music scene. Nestled in a wooded setting, this full-service resort blends relaxation and recreation with modern comfort. Whether you're in town for a festival or a sold-out arena show, this is a great base for concert-goers who want both energy and downtime.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a 5 to 10-minute drive from downtown Asheville, this resort offers a calm space after a night of music and crowds. With round-trip shuttle service to downtown, getting to and from shows is a breeze—no rideshares or parking stress needed. The peaceful location means low noise levels at night, so you can actually sleep after the encore. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM gives you time to settle in, and the lush outdoor grounds offer a perfect recovery spot the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want fun amenities like golf and zip-lining between shows
- Solo travelers seeking a mix of music and mountain serenity

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Overlook Restaurant serves up classic American and Appalachian dishes, perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-show bite. While there's no 24/7 room service, the resort’s proximity to downtown means late-night eats are just a shuttle ride away. Start your day right with a full breakfast menu—ideal after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the resort itself leans more toward peace than parties, the shuttle makes it easy to access Asheville’s buzzing bar and music scene. Think breweries, rooftop bars, and live music venues just minutes away. Back at the resort, the vibe is chill—perfect for winding down with a local craft beer under the stars.

What People Say

Guests love the natural setting, calling it “a mountain retreat with city access.” The shuttle is a big win for concert-goers, and many appreciate the resort-style amenities like the heated outdoor pool, spa, and fitness center. Travelers also frequently mention the friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the resort is a bit spread out, so walking between amenities may take time. The decor in some rooms is described as a little dated, but clean and functional. If you're looking for a party hotel, this isn't it—but that’s a plus for many.

The Bottom Line

Crowne Plaza Resort Asheville is a perfect pick for music fans who want easy venue access and a quiet, comfy place to recharge between shows.
