The Foundry Hotel Asheville

At the Heart
of a Renaissance

Stylishly repurposed industrial accommodations and tranquil natural outdoor spaces are at the core of our boutique hotel. Once the source of the city’s steel production — for buildings including the Biltmore Estate — The Foundry Hotel Asheville offers guests an authentically local experience proudly rooted in the historically Black neighborhood of The Block. Just a five-minute walk from the dynamic downtown scene, we welcome you to discover and revisit our comfortable retreat, take part in our curated activities, sample the delicious Appalachian cuisine and craft cocktails, and immerse yourself in the casually soulful vibe.

The Foundry Was Solid Gold

“My wife and I stayed here for two nights in March scouting wedding venues for our daughter. Very cool hotel in the heart of downtown Asheville, a 5-minute walk from the best restaurants downtown. The breakfast, bar snacks, and bar drinks were awesome.”
-Forest H | TripAdvisor

Elegant and Hip

“We stayed here on New Year’s Eve and what a wonderful experience. The place is both chic and elegant. It’s attached to a restaurant (Benne) and you can also order lite bites from the bar. We had the fries and crispy pork belly and they were both great. The ambience at the bar is wonderful with fireplaces and live music. ”
