Pet friendly hotels in Asheville

Hotels in Asheville, North Carolina where our source data confirms pets are allowed. Fees and room limits vary - confirm with the property.

  • Pets allowed
  • 41 qualifying stays

Pets allowed is a clean field in our source data, so this shortlist is one of the more reliable ones on the site. The conditions are not: fees, weight limits and eligible room types change often and are set by each property.

Asheville sits in a bowl in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so almost every stay involves a view or a drive to one. Downtown holds the Art Deco buildings and the restaurant scene; Biltmore Village sits south near the estate; West Asheville and the River Arts District run more independent. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs right past the city.

Common questions

Do these hotels charge a pet fee?

Most do, and our source data does not carry the amount. Check the property's pet policy on Booking.com before you book.

How many hotels in Asheville made this shortlist?

28 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is The Radical at 9.0, with a 9.2 guest rating from 198 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $95 to $421 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
