The hotel lobby features a Gabion wall stacked using native stones of various shapes and sizes as well as locally-inspired photographic murals of outdoor scenes taken by Asheville artist Zen Southerland. The hotel aesthetics is light and open, featuring glass tiles, stained concrete, quartz-like countertops, decorative pendants, and large graphic wall coverings.
The Hotel Indigo Asheville features guest rooms with oversized beds, plush bedding, hard-surface flooring, and spa-inspired showers with Aveda products. Each guest room includes a 32-inch high-definition flat screen TV.
