Downtown Asheville is a walkable hub of craft breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and live music venues-and more than a dozen hotels here roll out the welcome mat for your dog or cat. Travelers visiting with pets typically budget between $150 and $350 per night, with many properties charging a one-time pet fee of $50 to $100. Most downtown hotels offer easy access to Pritchard Park, the Asheville Art Museum, and the Urban Trail, so you can explore the city on foot without leaving your four-legged friend behind. Look for amenities like pet beds, water bowls, and designated relief areas, which are increasingly common in this district.
