The Windsor - Asheville

Stylish Downtown Digs with Historic Charm

The Windsor - Asheville is a charming, upscale boutique hotel nestled in the heart of downtown Asheville. With its blend of modern amenities and historic character, this 4-star stay offers a relaxed yet refined vibe. Guests enjoy spacious, apartment-style suites complete with full kitchens, free WiFi, and thoughtful touches like in-room coffee machines and flat-screen TVs. Plus, free private parking and a central location mean you can focus on the music, not the logistics.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from top venues like Harrah's Cherokee Center and The Orange Peel, The Windsor puts you in the center of Asheville’s live music action. After the show, return to a quiet, non-smoking property with soundproofed rooms for a restful night. The late 4:00 PM check-in and generous 12:00 PM check-out add flexibility for late arrivals or post-concert sleep-ins. You’ll also be within walking distance to rideshares, bars, and music-friendly spots all over the city.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to share spacious suites with full kitchens
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list show
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
• Fans needing a quiet retreat after a loud night
• Budget-savvy music lovers who value space and location

Food and Drink Options

While The Windsor doesn’t have a full on-site restaurant, each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for prepping snacks or late-night bites. The hotel’s location in downtown Asheville means you’re steps from local cafes, late-night eateries, and brunch spots that cater to the post-show crowd. Coffee lovers will appreciate the in-room machines for a DIY caffeine fix anytime.

Nightlife Options

With downtown Asheville at your doorstep, you’re close to a mix of craft cocktail lounges, local breweries, and music bars that keep the night going after the encore. While there’s no live music on-site, you’re just a stroll away from venues and vibrant nightlife that make Asheville a hotspot for music lovers.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the spacious, apartment-style rooms, calling them “immaculate” and “beautifully decorated.” Reviews highlight the exceptional location for walking to both music venues and local attractions, and many appreciate the quiet atmosphere despite being in the city center. The friendly concierge service also earns high marks for helping guests plan out their concert nights.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, which some guests miss for a quick bite or nightcap. And while the historic building has charm, a few reviewers note the stairs can be a bit much if you’re carrying heavy gear—though the staff is happy to help.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in Asheville and want comfort, space, and walkability without the post-concert chaos, The Windsor - Asheville delivers a boutique stay with all the right notes.
