Here, spaces as true to the building’s original blueprints, with terrazzo flooring, marble in the lobby, and even transom windows over guest doors. The hotel’s historic lobby features strong, geometric lines and a grand marble stairwell wrapped in a two-story mural that’s a pure Asheville fantasia of mountains, dancing animals, and coy Easter eggs.
