Asheville has a variety of accommodation options for every budget. Stay in Downtown Asheville, Montford or Biltmore Village for the most central location but it won’t be cheap. Consider the Aloft, AC hotel, the Element and Hotel Indigo.

You have several historic Bed & Breakfasts to choose from. Stay in the Montford area if you want to be located in/near downtown Asheville.

Asheville Bachelorette Travel & Transportation Advice
Interstates I-26 and I-40 cross right through Asheville and there are three airports in the Asheville area:
• Asheville (AVL) = 20 minute drive to downtown Asheville
• Greenville/Spartanburg (GSP) = 1 hour, 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville
• Charlotte (CLT) = 2 hour drive to downtown Asheville.
Downtown Asheville is relatively walkable. You should be able to find some uber and lyft rideshares around town but service can be slow and/or inconsistent.
Local services that I’ve heard good reviews for are AVL Taxi and Van in Black.
If you are staying outside of downtown or you are staying in town and want to get outside the city at all - especially to go hiking and see a waterfall or sunset in the mountains - then you should definitely rent a car or drive your own.
