The Spotlight on Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel

Stylish Mountain Vibes in the Heart of Asheville


Located in walkable downtown Asheville, the Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel blends modern comfort with Appalachian charm. Just a few minutes’ drive from iconic attractions like the Biltmore Estate and local music venues, it’s a polished yet laid-back base for your concert trip. With sleek marble bathrooms, on-site dining, and a cozy cocktail patio, it’s designed for travelers who want to unwind in style after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it


Its downtown location means you're within easy reach of Asheville’s best concert halls and live music spaces—most are just a short walk or a quick ride away. The hotel is tucked on a quieter street, so you can enjoy a peaceful night’s rest even after a wild encore. Late check-in (from 4 PM) makes it easy to roll in before showtime, and the comfortable lounge and room service offer a relaxed post-show wind-down.

Who this Hotel is great for


Groups of friends looking for a convenient downtown base
Solo travelers catching their dream show
Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
Fans seeking quiet after a loud night
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options


Fuel up or wind down at the hotel’s Writer’s Bistro, where fresh, local ingredients take center stage. The Lobby Lounge is perfect for a pre-gig bite or post-show drink, and room service is available if you're crashing in. While there’s no official late-night menu, downtown Asheville’s many eateries are just steps away and open late. Breakfast is available, even if you sleep in a little.

Nightlife Options


You’re in the heart of Asheville’s vibrant nightlife scene, with bars, lounges, and live music venues just around the corner. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the nearby scene more than makes up for it. Sip craft brews or cocktails at one of the many local bars just a short stroll away.

What People Say


Guests love the central location, with many noting how easy it is to walk to shows and restaurants. The rooms are praised for being clean, quiet, and comfortable, especially after a long night. Visitors also enjoy the friendly staff and mountain views from upper floors. The on-site dining gets high marks for its quality and convenience.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that the hotel’s decor feels a bit dated in places. Parking is available but can be a little pricey, so plan ahead if you’re bringing a car.

The Bottom Line


With its unbeatable location, relaxed vibe, and walkable access to Asheville’s music scene, Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel hits all the right notes for concert-goers.

Disappointing

Liked: First room we checked in to smelt smoky. Slept in both beds in our second room and both were so squishy we felt like we were sleeping in a taco. Bell staff and front desk staff were great!. Paying $25 to self park is outrageous. Asked for extra towels from front desk and they never came.

Waste of extra spending on...

Liked: Their location was good. The staff was courteous. Rooms were clean.
Disliked: Breakfast was awful....!!.Maybe one grade above or equal to a continental breakfast that you get for free, you had to pay $20. They also charge $25/day for parking your car in their lot. There was no mention of that in Their advertisement for Booking. Also for the price, you would expect at least a bottle of complimentary water in the room upon checking in. No water in the room.The extra charge for parking every day and cost-cutting techniques every day are visible and bad enough not to book with them next time.

Good accommodations and great location

Liked: Great location, clean accommodations, easy access to surrounding Asheville attractions. And friendly staff.
Disliked: The hotel could do with some updates. New paint in the elevators, new caulking in the bathrooms, updating the wallpaper, some pieces of wood were chipped on some of the furniture pieces. Just overall general updates. Will bring this hotel back to its former glory.

Not what expected

Liked: Location
Disliked: Not knowing the hotel was still in repair stages from the hurricane in Sept.! Pool and hot tub shut down for unknown reasons and no one working to repair! All parts of the hotel are dirty! That it was being used for housing of displaced people and there pets from hurricane by FEMA! If we would have known all this, we would have looked elsewhere!
