Haywood Park Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection - A historic downtown Asheville hotel with French bistro dining and mountain views

Located in the iconic Bon Marché building in Downtown Asheville, this 3-star Asheville hotel combines historic architecture with modern amenities. The Haywood Park Hotel features oversized suites with plush furnishings and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Two on-site restaurants serve distinctive cuisine - Isa's Bistro offers French dishes crafted with local seasonal ingredients, while Hemingway's Cuba on the 4th floor pairs Cuban fare with Blue Ridge Mountain views. Five flexible event spaces accommodate gatherings from 4 to 90 people, including the Main Cellar with full bar and the intimate Wine Room. The property sits steps from the Grove Arcade's boutiques, galleries, and specialty shops. Haywood Park Hotel provides walking access to downtown's breweries, theaters, live music venues, and the Harrah's Cherokee Center.

Pros

Historic Bon Marché building location preserves Art Deco architectural details

Oversized suite layouts ranging from 380 to 940 square feet

Multiple private dining and event venues with in-house catering

Rooftop terrace access at Hemingway's Cuba with mountain panoramas

Cons

2 miles from Biltmore Estate requires transportation

Pet-friendly rooms limited to 2 dogs under 50 pounds each

“Haywood Park's location puts you squarely in downtown Asheville, and I appreciate the hotel's embrace of its history, formerly a department store-the elevator announcements are a charming touch. While some amenities are modest, the friendly staff and the spacious suites make it a comfortable base for exploring the city. I think it's a solid choice for travelers looking to immerse themselves in Asheville's vibrant scene.”
