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.
