I had the pleasure of touring Hotel Indigo #Asheville with Meredith Morse and seeing all its enhancements firsthand! With its state-of-the-art fitness center (coming soon!), beautifully renovated rooms, stunning views, and hospitable crew, Hotel Indigo is the perfect blend of uniqueness and efficiency for your stay. An ideal spot for a corporate getaway or a family holiday in Asheville. Yes, that's a fireplace! I am excited to follow along in their transformation ??

Happy Monday, LinkedIn ?? Still basking in the glow of the much-anticipated opening of the historic Flat Iron Hotel last week! For those outside my Asheville network, The Flat Iron Building, named for its triangular shape and designed by Albert Wirth, is a historic building faced with limestone and adorned with Beaux-Arts detailing. The Flat Iron Preservation Group has done incredible work restoring it. Congrats to the whole team for a stellar opening, and thank you for having us. It was beyond impressive to see the historic preservation of this notable building with all the modern, thoughtful details like beverage bay stations that save space, provide complimentary snacks, and are more eco-friendly. The hotel features: Luminosa: An Italian eatery with a hyperlocal twist on Italian cuisine, with Asheville's beloved Graham House as the Executive Chef. The Luminosa bar transforms into a perfect coffee destination in the morning, "The Caffe," offering breakfast sandwiches, cappuccinos, and more. Creative and functional use of space! The Flat Iron Rooftop: With phenomenal views of the French Broad River Valley and Great Smoky Mountains. (I could have stayed perched here in the sun forever ?? ) They also have a "SkyBites" menu featuring small plates inspired by Luminosa's rustic wood-fire offerings. A Speakeasy: Even better than you can imagine... but you'll have to find it on your own! Coworking Space: Open to local membership as well as to hotel guests, Iron Works Coworking space is open Monday - Friday from 8am - 5pm, with drop-in passes offering access to amenities for the day, week, or month. Very cool. _______ Naturally, we were super impressed by the transformation of this historic building. Their team was beyond hospitable, and as a local, I am definitely planning my next return :) #asheville #avl #hospitality #ribboncutting #historicbuilding Olivia Terrell Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce The Indigo Road Hospitality Group

Today, we pause to remember and honor the courageous women and men who gave their lives in service to our country. On this Memorial Day, we pay tribute to their sacrifice and the selflessness that defines their legacy. As we reflect on the freedoms we enjoy, let us not forget the ultimate price paid by those who fought to protect them. "Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it." -Anonymous. Let us honor their memory and continue to uphold the values they fought to defend. hashtag #MemorialDay #NeverForget #HonorTheFallen
