About this property
Downtown Asheville Historic S&W Loft - James Loft
This modern loft in the historic S&W Cafeteria building mixes old and new elements for comfort and relaxation. On the inside you will find a well-appointed, spacious loft. On the outside the city extends your experience to the rest of what Asheville offers...just a walk about to a dynamic culinary scene, shopping, art, music, theater and historical treasures. With this property, location is EVERYTHING! You will find yourself at the center of the downtown core. Within short distances, experience many outdoor activities, the famed Biltmore Estate, the historic Grove Park Inn and the beautiful vistas along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Consider the Downtown trolley tour as a leisure way to explore beyond the core and take in more history. Experience a food tour or enjoy an urban hike. Take it all in...and then come again. Asheville Strong!
