The Foundry Hotel Asheville occupies a cluster of historic early-1900s industrial buildings in downtown Asheville — former steel-foundry structures where, fittingly, the steel framing for the Biltmore House was once produced. Now a boutique hotel in Hilton's Curio Collection, it has transformed that industrial heritage into a sophisticated, design-forward property that honors the buildings' past while delivering contemporary luxury.
The interiors are industrial-chic — exposed brick and steel, soaring ceilings, and reclaimed materials paired with refined, modern furnishings and thoughtful design. The hotel is especially notable for its food and culture: its restaurant, Benne on Eagle, is celebrated for its focus on Appalachian and African American (Affrilachian) culinary traditions, and the hotel's lounge offers craft cocktails and live jazz, connecting to the rich heritage of "The Block," the historic center of Asheville's African American community where the hotel sits. Rooms are stylish and comfortable, and service is personal.
The downtown location is a major asset: it's within easy walking distance of downtown Asheville's shops, galleries, restaurants, and breweries, putting the city's celebrated food-and-beer scene and walkable core right at hand. The Foundry suits design-minded travelers, food lovers, and couples wanting a stylish, characterful, culturally rich base in the heart of the city. Booked directly.
