Embassy Suites by Hilton Asheville Downtown

Embassy Suites by Hilton Asheville Downtown opened at the end of 2023 at 192 Haywood Street, downtown's only full-service all-suite hotel. The 188-suite property includes a Blue Ridge-view rooftop restaurant, Soprana Rooftop Cucina, and close to 7,000 sq ft of meeting space anchored by the Blue Ridge Ballroom.

The place

192 Haywood Street, in downtown Asheville near Harrah's Cherokee Center, about a five-minute walk from Pack Square.

The concept

A ground-up, 188-suite all-suite hotel developed and managed by Parks Hospitality Group, positioned as downtown Asheville's only full-service all-suite property. Interiors draw on Blue Ridge Mountains motifs, and the hotel includes the Blue Ridge Ballroom (4,700 sq ft with 18-foot ceilings, divisible into four smaller spaces) plus another 2,000 sq ft of flexible meeting space, for events of up to 350 guests.

Dining & wellness

Soprana Rooftop Cucina, a Michelin Guide-recommended rooftop restaurant serving brick-oven pizza and locally sourced Italian dishes with Blue Ridge Mountains views, opened a few months after the hotel in March 2024. Every stay includes a made-to-order breakfast buffet and an evening reception, standard for the Embassy Suites brand; the hotel also has an indoor heated pool and a 24-hour fitness center.
