4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Asheville

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Asheville is between January and March, when hotel prices tend to be lower. To fully appreciate the city’s rich history and vibrant culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, visitors can enjoy a range of attractions, including live music performances, theatre shows, art galleries, and local festivals. Additionally, the scenic mountains offer excellent hiking opportunities, while the city's craft beer scene and lively entertainment options provide a great value for money. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it’s an ideal period for those looking to explore on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals in Asheville, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com could keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities for savings on accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best hotel rates. You'll be promptly notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making your last-minute getaway easier to book.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may allow you to save on your stay in an Asheville hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and, at times, greater value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Asheville's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further out that’s still well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often good value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
