Blind Tiger Asheville has opened in North Carolina, marking the debut of Lark Hotels’ first Southern property.
Built as a private residence in 1889, the property was reimagined by Elder & Ash, incorporating a medley of vintage, antique, and handmade pieces that were collected over the past decade. Blind Tiger is inspired by the special lifestyle that Asheville has to offer. Rich in both nature and art, the city is a unique combination of artisan craft and nature-made.
Following suit, the hotel’s 14 rooms and suites each have a one of a kind design, taking cues from art that is nature, and nature that is art. Ranging from an airy and rustic artist’s loft on the top floor of the historic main house, to a cozy two-room cabin that feels both urban and escapist, Blind Tiger is a celebration of the diverse topography and craft that surrounds it.
Outside, the property is surrounded by lush green and flowering gardens complete with koi ponds. Expansive interior gathering spaces are meant to be used as an extension of the accommodations. And all guests are welcome to visit the pantry, which is stocked with complimentary snacks, cold brew, and cocktail fixings, day or night.
