The 71-key Flatiron Hotel is an adaptive reuse of the Flatiron building, Asheville, NC's iconic downtown landmark. The new hotel within the Flatiron building aspires to fulfill the building's historic purpose of signaling to the world that Asheville is a place of consequence. The Flatiron Hotel project will draw inspiration from the original "Lost Generation" of the roaring twenties and connect that bygone era with a mobile creative class looking for an escape true to Asheville's prohibition-era spirit.
Within the Flatiron Hotel, guests and locals will find a restaurant featuring a wood-fired oven and craft cocktail bar on the ground floor, a rooftop bar with peerless views of the smoky mountains to the west, and, in the tradition of the Flatiron's nascent era, one may or may not find a hidden speakeasy somewhere within.
Located on Battery Park Avenue, the hotel, where it meets the charming, shop-lined Wall Street, will be a short two and a half block walk to the city's famous and historic Grove Arcade; in proximity to all the best dining, drinking and entertainment that the city of Asheville has to offer; and a short drive to Biltmore Estate and Blue Ridge mountain hiking trails.
The Flatiron Building was acquired by Flatiron Preservation Group, LLC in 2019 shortly after the City of Asheville had approved its conversion into a hotel.
