About this property

Colby Loft | Downtown Asheville Loft in Historic S&W Building

Colby Loft offers a rare stay in one of Downtown Asheville's landmark buildings. Located inside the historic and fully renovated S&W Building, this luxury loft places you right in the heart of the city, just across from Pritchard Park and steps from restaurants, shops, galleries, entertainment, and local favorites.

Inside, the loft blends historic character with modern comfort. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, exposed ductwork, tile, granite, upscale appliances, and thoughtfully selected furnishings give the space a polished yet authentic downtown feel. The building also includes elevator access, making the loft easy to reach and convenient for guests.

The location is one of Colby Loft's biggest highlights. Spend the day exploring Downtown Asheville on foot, then return to a comfortable, stylish retreat in the center of it all. For guests looking to get outdoors, the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking, zip lining, and other mountain adventures are all within easy driving distance.

Colby Loft is ideal for travelers who want a true downtown Asheville experience with historic charm, modern amenities, and easy access to both the city and the mountains.

This home offers convenient access to Downtown Asheville. Because of its central location, guests should expect some street noise, traffic, and occasional nearby construction.

The Colby Loft is in a fantastic location. Located right in the heart of downtown. The S&W Market below the condo is a historic art deco building with a few take-out options for breakfast, lunch & dinner. We were able to walk to local restaurants, shops and points of interest. Parking and unloading was a challenge- but the public parking garage was convenient and a short walk behind the building. In order to enter the building and use the elevator we were sent several different codes at check-in. This was a bit confusing but we figured it out, and appreciated the security the codes provided. The condo was clean, equipped and comfortable. We liked the cement walls, urban industrial feel, & the decor.We would definitely recommend this location and will consider returning someday.(ps- the king box spring needs replacing) Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at the Colby Loft. It was so central to our downtown explorations. The apartment was really comfortable, with everything we needed. One note, the previous tenants did not take out their trash & recycling. This may have been due to some confusion in finding the trash receptacles. There seemed to be different directions in the book, emails, and fridge notes. We found the bins are outside, on the back street behind the building (not in a trash room past the elevators). Other than that, we found the Colby Loft a delightful stay.

Very comfortable and beautiful property. Well appointed and furnished. Excellent bedding and bathrooms. Save and private located in the heart of Asheville. Only problem is parking. Clsest lot is very expensive. More affordable parking is blocks away. It's worth it because i love the property -just wish parking wa easier.

Lovely loft space, great location

This was a great place to stay with my besties for our girls' reunion and I will likely bring my own family back to stay next time I am in Asheville, which is fairly often. I didn't realize that there was no parking available but there is a fairly priced garage within walking distance so not a big deal. Gorgeous place, lots of vibe.
