“The Arras in downtown Asheville is our family’s home away from home. The service, rooms and location are unbeatable! Jamie at the front desk was friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Barry on the night shift is great too. My husband’s from Asheville and he loves that we get to stay at the old BB&T building. I’m already planning our next stay at Arras!”
“Wow...I love this hotel. So lovely. So clean. So accommodating. The staff is top notch. Barry, Angel, Nick, and Jamie at the Front Desk...to name a few. The Valet team and the bartenders at District 42 are delightful. The amenities and guest perks are superb. In a world where mediocrity seems to rule, the Arras stands out as a true gem. Thanks to all. We will be back.”
“We had a wonderful staycation here for my wife’s birthday. We were greeted by Adam at the front desk, and he upgraded us to a beautiful mountain view suite, which made our stay even more special. We loved the evening happy hour, and the gal serving wine had wonderful energy and was so kind to us. We also really enjoyed the Thursday Girl Dinner special - $20 for Caesar salad, fries, and a martini. Again, great service at the District...”
