Welcome Back

The Flat Iron Hotel

Welcome Back to Asheville

The resilient spirit of Appalachia is shining brighter than ever. After the challenges of Hurricane Helene, Asheville is ready to welcome you back with open arms, open doors, and the kind of hospitality that defines our community.

Almost all of downtown Asheville is open for business, and the area’s vibrant culture is thriving. Shops, galleries, studios, and restaurants are back to creating and serving. Nearby, the towns of Weaverville and Black Mountain are bustling, and iconic destinations like the Biltmore Estate are once again welcoming guests to experience the holiday magic.
