The Radical Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina, Joins Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The Radical Hotel, a boutique hotel in Asheville’s River Arts District, has joined the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, which hosts nearly 160 independent hotels globally.

The Radical Hotel, a boutique hotel and living art installation in Asheville’s River Arts District, has recently become part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton. This move allows the hotel to maintain its distinctive character while gaining the backing of a globally recognized brand.

The Radical Hotel, recognized for its unique design, is housed in a repurposed 1920s cereal factory. The hotel, which opened in October 2023, features 70 distinctive guest rooms and suites. Its unique design and ambiance reflect the creative spirit of the River Arts District, making it a popular destination for travelers and locals alike.

Following its recovery from Hurricane Helene, The Radical Hotel decided to collaborate with the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, aligning the boutique hotel with nearly 160 other independent properties worldwide. Despite the partnership with Hilton, the hotel remains independently owned and continues to offer a unique, locally inspired experience.

This year, the hotel received recognition from USA TODAY 10Best, securing second in the 2025 Readers’ Choice Award for Best New Hotel.

The partnership with Hilton also brings added benefits to Hilton Honors members. These guests can now earn points through their stays at The Radical Hotel. Furthermore, those who book directly through Hilton’s preferred channels can enjoy instant benefits such as a flexible payment slider, exclusive member discounts, and free standard Wi-Fi.

The Radical Hotel demonstrates the growing trend of boutique hotels seeking partnerships with global brands to enhance their reach and offer added benefits to their guests.
