“The Blind Tiger cultivates a uniquely Asheville vibe, seamlessly blending historic charm with boutique flair; each room, individually themed, promises a stay unlike any other. Its prime location puts you within a short walk of downtown's attractions, but the inn itself-with its art-filled spaces and tranquil garden-invites relaxation. I found the daily gourmet breakfast and evening wine and cheese gatherings especially thoughtful touches.”
