The Best U.S. Hotel Openings of 2023

Blind Tiger Asheville, North Carolina

Lark Hotels’ first foray into the Southern market, the third Blind Tiger location (following Portland, Maine, and Burlington, Vermont) is inspired by Asheville’s lifestyle, art, and natural surrounds. Built as a private residence in 1889, the reimagined property includes 14 rooms and suites, each with a distinct design, ranging from an airy and rustic artist’s loft on the top floor of the main house to a cozy two-room cabin.
