Embassy Suites By Hilton Asheville Downtown
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want a walkable downtown base in Asheville and value a cooked-to-order breakfast. If you arrive by car and dislike valet parking, weigh that first, because guests say there is no self-park option.

This is our Best Value pick in Asheville. It suits couples and small groups who want to walk to shops and restaurants, start the day with a big breakfast and have a gym on site. Pets are accepted according to the listing tags, so it is worth a look if you travel with a dog, though fees and rules need checking.
Skip it if you want to manage your own car. Guests report that valet parking is mandatory, which limits direct access to your vehicle. Also note that the price is not low: it was slightly above our Luxury pick on the reference dates.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 192 Haywood Street. The listing places it in the River Arts District, while guests describe a central downtown position within walking distance of local shops, restaurants and mountain views. The guest location score is 9.3 out of 10.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. The Basilica of St. Lawrence is about 0.3 km away, around 4 minutes on foot. The Omni Grove Park Inn is 3.2 km away, about 40 minutes walking. That is far for most people, so a taxi or public transport makes more sense.
What guests say
The score is 9.2 out of 10 from 382 reviews, joint second among the hotels we looked at. Breakfast earns the most specific praise: a buffet with made-to-order omelettes, a waffle station and a range of fresh items. Breakfast is listed as American and buffet.
Location is the other big positive. The one clear complaint is the parking set-up, with mandatory valet and no self-park alternative.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, were about €155.33 per night. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Best Western Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway, came in at about €81.60 per night with a score of 8.3. Our Luxury pick, Cambria Hotel Downtown Asheville, was about €154.61 per night with a score of 9.1. So on those dates this hotel cost about the same as Cambria, and nearly double the Best Western. The sample median was €133.41, so it was above average too.
What you get: free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a fitness center, air conditioning and a pool listed by the property. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed, and the valet fee is not given in our data.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 hotels in Asheville. Best Value is about balance, not the lowest price: a high guest score, a decent review count and a reasonable reference price. This hotel scored 9.2, higher than our Luxury pick, with strong location and breakfast feedback. Because prices in Asheville can move between dates, compare it with Cambria for your own nights.
Before you book
Ask what the valet parking costs per night. Check whether breakfast is in your rate. If you bring a pet, confirm the pet policy and any fee. Look at the pool opening times.
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read the rate details.
