Planning a little trip to Asheville

[thefuzz]

Any recommendations for hotels that is walking distance to most of the eating and drinking establishments?

 

Also breweries, bars, or restaurants I need to visit while there?

 

Looking at mid July at the moment.

We stayed here and really enjoyed it:

It's right in the middle of everything, and the rooms are huge. It's a little dated inside, but when I say the rooms are huge, I mean HUGE, and right on the main drag. I just did a search for three nights in a king room on a weekend in July and it quoted me $802.

renaissance to be in town, grand bohemian to be in biltmore village

 

asheville brewing co for good beer and pizza.

 

honestly, if you want breweries/restaurants... walk around town any direction for five minutes and you'll run into one.  LAB, Jack of the Wood, Wicked Weed, they're all over the place

 

i'll also say biscuithead if you do breakfast... amazing

We love the Laughing Seed Cafe, one of my favorite restaurants. It's vegetarian and so good. I like the Harmony bowl.

Food/Beer-

Asheville Pizza & Brewing

Wicked Weed

Tupelo Honey (breakfast)

Barley's

Brew Bars-

Hi-Wire

Green Man

Twin Leaf

The Wedge

... all 4 within a few hundred yards of each other

I believe the Tourists are playing if you like baseball...

Very historic field...

Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Ty Cobb, Cal Ripken Jr, & many other legends have played there.

As far as where to stay... Just find the cheapest hotel downtown on the west side. Stay away from Biltmore Village.

Biltmore is expensive as hell, always super crowded with tourists, & the most boring spot in Asheville. There's nothing interesting in Biltmore. Stay downtown or on the other side of Asheville.

Dozens of great places to go hiking if you like that kinda thing

If you're looking for affordable Downtown Inn and Suites is nice enough and a block from Jack of the Wood

I was thinking of visiting there too.

The Asheville commercial there running on TV sold it for me.

I stayed at the Grove Park Inn for one week last month. It was great.

Ah my old stomping grounds.  I'm basing my information on the 3 years ago that I lived there so...maybe these things still exist.  Thirsty Monk has a great selection of beers, One Stop Deli tends to have the live music on the weeknights, LAB is a cool place, Wedge Brewery is cool.  Basically everything fun to do in Asheville involves beer.

If you drive around may God have mercy on you. I try anyway I can to avoid going through there.
