Blind Tiger thought of everything. I highly recommend and will come back if in the area. room was spacious, clean, quiet and oh so nice and dark! the white robes were a welcome treat as we got caught in a downpour leaving the Biltmore and were soaked. We could walk for dinner which we really love after a day of driving, What a lovely experience

Dreamy beds, beautiful aesthetics, kind hosts

We had visited the Portland location and absolutely adored the experience. Asheville did not disappoint! If you are looking for inspired aesthetics, kind hosts, great locations, and unique touches, Blind Tigers are for you. This breakfast wasn't quite as mindblowing as Portland's, but the host was gracious to explain the limitations they face and in light of that, it was adequate and still delightful. The Table is SO spacious we were able to crash with 4 kids on various padded spaces with extra pillows and blankets we requested. Their sheets and blankets are divine. Could not have loved it more.

Amazing boutique hotel :)

My wife and I visited Asheville for our anniversary and stayed at The Blind Tiger. It is a wonderful boutique hotel that is beautifully decorated with unique vintage art and furniture. It also is just a short walk from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
