Asheville, North Carolina

Twelve suites above the Blue Ridge.

The Ironwood is a boutique hotel in the mountains of western North Carolina: twelve suites, a rooftop bar under open sky, a spa, and a farm-to-table restaurant that cooks what the season brings in.

Rooms

Twelve suites, and a door that closes on the city.

Heavy doors, deep green walls and dark timber, with brass that warms under your hand. Mountain light comes in through the windows, and the quiet stays in.

    Valet at the curb

    Hand over the keys at the door. The mountain roads are behind you, and the car is someone else's problem for the night.

  2. 02

    Bring the dog

    Pet-friendly rooms sit close to the door and the trees, with space enough for a long stretch after a long drive.

  3. 03

    Twelve keys, no more

    Twelve suites in the house. When the last one is taken, the lights go low and the halls go quiet.

The restaurant

Dinner that follows the season.

The kitchen works from the farms up. What the season brings in is what gets cooked, and the room is dark enough to make a long dinner feel short.

The spa

Slow work, done properly.

Heat, stone and low light, a few steps from your door. The spa sits between the restaurant and the roof, which is exactly where the evening starts to loosen.

The rooftop bar

Open sky, brass and green stone.

The top of the house, above the suites and the restaurant. Brass rail, green stone bar, and the Blue Ridge going dark while the evening goes on.
