This hotel is amazing. This was my second stay and you can bet I will be returning again soon. The staff is attentive. The rooms are well thought out and unique. I love the robes and the bed and sheets are cozy. Afterglow has the best drinks I recommend the sunset dreams. I haven’t tried the restaurant yet and the rooftop bar wasn’t open on either of my visits but I can’t wait to try them. You can’t beat the location. Just a short walk to several restaurants, bars, and breweries.
This is a departure from the normal hotels of Asheville. It has a much trendier/modern feel to it. It's also got everything you need to make a great stay without leaving. The rooftop has an incredible sunset view and great cocktail list. The restaurant was amazing food and atmosphere. And you can grab good coffee drinks from the cafe in the morning.
I adored my room at The Radical! The view to the river was awesome and the hotel was filled with local art. The staff was attentive and kind. Fantastic drinks, food and entertainment in two bars and a restaurant. Drag Bingo on Saturday night was a blast! Thanks for the wonderful stay!
The radical is a fun and funky hotel. It has a very unique decorative style and is extremely comfortable. The staff is wonderful, and it is very well situated in the river arts district. A very fun bar scene on weekends.
We absolutely adored this hotel! It was truly an experience. The attention to detail in the room and through out the entire property really gives it such an elevated feel! Loved being on the river and all the great breweries and stores that were walking distance!
I will definitely be staying here again!
