- "The Restoration is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The location of the hotel is perfect, within walking distance of all the downtown restaurants and shops and a short drive away from the River Arts district and the Biltmore Estate. The hotels are pricier in this area but, if you want to stay in downtown Asheville, The Restoration is worth the splurge. The front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. The hotel is lovely, immaculately clean and the rooms are very comfortable, but, it also has some added touches that really impressed us. There is an area in the lobby that provides not just filtered water but also sparking water.The wine and charcuterie provided at 5:00 in the lobby was very nice but even nicer was the fact that when one person in our party who does not drink alcohol went to the bar to purchase a soft drink, there was no charge. A breakfast basket is delivered to your room each morning with food that can be eaten in your room or packed for later when you are out and about. The rooms come with an actual coffee maker and high quality, locally sourced ground coffee so you can brew delicious coffee in your room. All these little things add up and very much enhanced our stay. Our overall impression was that the hotel truly prioritizes the guest experience."

The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that you have an exceptional experience. Housekeeping is always cheerful, and anxious to provide for our needs. Though the times were booked full for Easter weekend, the tea party is the most adorable setup. Personally I am anxious to return with my preschooler just for that. The grounds are nice, and the balconies offer the perfect place to take it all in or just enjoy a quiet read. After a bit of a mixup, I was able to see the professionalism in management that justifies its stars. It’s not about the stay, its about the experience. In short the Ballantyne is not just a hotel, it is a place to retreat, relax, and receive a much needed pampering, whatever your reason may be. I 100% Recommend, and I cannot wait to return."
