Element Asheville Downtown

With 100 rooms across 7 floors at 62 College Place, Element Asheville Downtown is a Marriott-branded extended-stay property built in 2020 in the heart of downtown Asheville, NC. Guest rooms average 375 square feet and suites average over 525 square feet, each equipped with in-room kitchenettes, flat-screen smart TVs, and free high-speed WiFi. The hotel sits steps from Asheville’s culinary, brewery, and arts districts, and is 6.4 miles from Biltmore Estate and approximately 12 miles from Asheville Regional Airport (AVL). From Monday through Thursday, the hotel hosts a complimentary Relax Reception featuring locally brewed beers and organic wines.

Event space at this property is limited, making it best suited for intimate corporate gatherings and room-block group stays rather than large conventions. Total verified meeting space is 399 square feet, accommodating 1 confirmed meeting room with a capacity of up to 20 people. The hotel also references a Summit Meeting Room, a City to Sky Terrace, and a Gallery and Patio as additional gathering options, though individual square footage and formal capacities for these spaces are not publicly documented. Groups requiring larger breakout or ballroom space should plan to use nearby off-site venues in downtown Asheville.
