- The unique character of Downtown Asheville and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains surround the newly built Candlewood Suites Asheville Downtown. We are only 20 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) and a short drive from the many attractions in Downtown Asheville. We go beyond ordinary Asheville hotels to offer comforts you deserve, such as comfortable beds with HDTVs, free Wi-Fi access and a stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator in each room. A large indoor pool and hot tub are just a taste of the premium amenities you will enjoy at the Candlewood Suites Asheville Downtown. Our hotel's location puts you close to it all: dining, shopping, entertainment, and the River Arts District. You can spend a day perusing visiting the galleries of Grove Arcade, exploring breweries in downtown, or touring the historic, elegant Biltmore Estate. Our hotel is less than 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway allowing easy access to stunning mountain views and hiking trails. While lodging in our Asheville hotel, you are invited to use our meeting rooms, green rooftop lounge LUX, free guest laundry, and 24-hour Business Center.
