Just like MICHELIN Stars are awarded to exceptional restaurants, MICHELIN Keys highlight hotels that go above and beyond in design, service, and guest experience. For the second year in a row, Blind Tiger Asheville has earned the prestigious honor.

The renovated 19th-century Queen Anne–style house holds 14 rooms in the Chestnut Hills neighborhood of North Asheville. MICHELIN lauded the hotel's eclectic style, mixing vintage and modern touches — there's also a distinct personal touch, with each room including a letter from a local filled with recommendations.

The property is available for weddings and you can even grab a day pass to enjoy the amenities while working remotely.

Of course, you can book a room at Blind Tiger for the ultimate staycation, but if you want to get out of town for a stylish stay, there are plenty of MICHELIN Key hotels just a weekend trip away:
