The Radical

Beautiful, eclectic hotel in a refurbished brick building with floor to ceiling windows. The furnishings are well thought out and soooo fun! There is a coffee shop on site and a restaurant with a very interesting menu: a gym and roof top bar are still being renovated from the damage incurred by Hurricane Helene, but they are expected to be completed soon. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable-always available to answer any questions and offer information about Asheville. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with some pretty “wow” amenities: soft spa robes, excellent mattresses, duvets, and pillows, and a coffee/tea set up with a copper kettle and Counter Culture coffee bags 😳 (for the uninitiated, that’s a local coffee house with excellent coffee-I live in Raleigh and get a 5 lb bag delivered to my house every month. So. Good.) There are remarkable views of the French Broad River from the room windows (the very same river that caused the flooding from the hurricane) Would heartily and without reservation recommend. We were very happy to be able to stay in a local hotel and do our part to help Asheville get back on her feet. It’s a great town

We loved the boutique vibe of the hotel! The graffiti, unique rooms, cool lobby area and great location in the Arts District were some of our favorite features. Our room had a river view which was lovely especially in the morning and evenings. Lots of places to walk and explore close by. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome and had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

Went for a concert at the Grey Eagle! Literally right around the corner from the Radical Hotel. The lobby and all public spaces were CLEAN and smelled amazing. Our room was CLEAN, and so was the bathroom. I am picky and a germaphobe so this goes a long way for me. The beds were comfy and had four huge pillows on each bed. The hotel was minutes from everything downtown. Although our stay was short, I would definitely recommend a stay here. You get what you pay for! I know where I will be staying from now on in Asheville.

My partner and I would like to say how amazing our stay was. From the very moment we arrived, we loved the exterior. We knew we were in for a treat. We couldn't have been more correct. This place is incredible. We walked in and were greeted by the most professional and friendly front desk employee. I apologize, but I can't remember her name. She really took the time to answer any and all questions, which was wonderful because we were not familiar with the area. She even assisted us in finding charging stations for our vehicle. Every step we took towards our room was filled with visual joy. All the interior styling was so freaking cool. Once we walked into the room, our jaws dropped. We couldn't believe how spacious and well laid out everything was. So many details and accommodations were thought through. We honestly didn't want to leave. Haha. We also had the pleasure to try out the restaurant downstairs the Golden Hour, and that was amazing as well. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders were incredible. Like the front area staff, they were so nice and informative, very knowledgeable of the menu, and helped us with our decisions. The food and drinks were amazing. We honestly can not wait to return to Asheville, and for the sole reason is to stay here again. Thank you to all of the staff which made our experience quite possibly the best travel experience we've ever had. We will be back!!!!

I love old buildings and they did a great job of repurposing this one. The artwork was amazing, graffiti on the walls cool and it has high end amenities and is super clean. There are plenty of nice places to eat or drink nearby. I have stayed at so many hotels that have been forgotten, I will never forget this one and hope to stay there again.
