The Spotlight on Element Asheville Downtown

Modern Comfort Steps from Asheville's Music Scene

Element Asheville Downtown offers a clean, contemporary stay in the heart of Asheville's vibrant downtown. With sleek, eco-friendly design and plenty of natural light, this 3-star hotel combines comfort with convenience. Just a few blocks from the city's top concert venues and surrounded by local art galleries and breweries, it’s a smart base for music lovers looking to explore Asheville’s creative vibe.

The hotel features free WiFi, a fitness center, indoor pool, and even free bike rentals for exploring the area. Whether you're heading to a show or winding down afterward, Element Asheville Downtown has everything you need for a smooth trip.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Element Asheville Downtown delivers—just minutes from top venues including Harrah's Cherokee Center. While you're close to the action, guests say the hotel maintains a surprisingly quiet atmosphere at night, perfect for post-show recovery. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night check-ins a breeze, and early check-outs are just as smooth. Plus, having local attractions like Lexington Glassworks and the Basilica of Saint Lawrence nearby means your pre-show plans are covered, too.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for walkable access to Asheville's nightlife
  • Solo travelers attending a must-see show
  • Couples planning a romantic weekend with a concert twist
  • Fans wanting quiet downtime after a high-energy performance
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

The daily buffet breakfast is perfect for late risers recovering from a night out. While there's no full-service restaurant, the hotel does offer grill facilities and vending machines for quick bites. The downtown location means you're steps away from local eateries, bars, and late-night food trucks—ideal for grabbing a post-show meal.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is right in the mix of Asheville’s buzzing nightlife. You're a short walk from live music venues, craft breweries, and laid-back lounges. While there's no bar on-site, the shared lounge provides a chill space to hang out with friends before heading out. Asheville’s famous beer scene is just outside your door.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s spotless rooms, modern design, and friendly staff. Reviewers also highlight the excellent location for walking to venues and downtown hotspots. The indoor pool and bike rentals also get high marks for adding fun and flexibility to their stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the parking fee as a minor downside, and a few wished for more on-site dining options. But most agree the location and amenities more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're coming to Asheville for a concert, Element Asheville Downtown strikes the perfect balance between comfort, quiet, and convenience—all within walking distance of the city's best live music.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Very good

Liked: Bed was very comfy. TV remote had sleep button. Breakfast was very good, not so heavy on carbs.
Disliked: Workmanship in some of the facilities was shoddy. Handrail in elevator was about to fall off. I reported every day and nothing was done. So I finally told the front desk that I was an 81 year old woman and I depend on things like handrails and if I fall, I was going to sue the he'll out of the hotel. It finally got fixed. It took 3 days. Faucets in room were loose, I expected better. I noticed other sloppy things but difficult to explain. I would have expected more ways to connect electronics at desk. No USB ports, only by bed. No electrical outlets up high so I could reach them. Had to search for ways to connect.

It was pleasant

Liked: The room was clean and big enough. The breakfast had several options, coffee was all day long. Facilites even though I didn’t use them, was perfect for a longer stay. Cafeteria was clean and super well organized. I’ll be coming back to this hotel
