A special thanks to all the sponsors, speakers and attendees who are traveling to participate in our first WordCamp! In the spirit of keeping everything WordCamp affordable, we’ve arranged for blocks of rooms to be held for you. All of the hotels listed below were picked for their proximity to our venue (which is 9 miles west of downtown Asheville.) There are also some wonderful hotels downtown and near Biltmore Village which are a little (ok, sometimes a LOT) more expensive, so you’re on your own for booking those (try exploreasheville.com for help). But do give us your feedback on where you stayed so we can consider any changes for next year.
Note: You must call the hotels directly using the phone number listed and mention “WordCamp Asheville” in order to get the rates arranged. And reserve now! These blocks of rooms will begin disappearing April 30th – May 14th

Advisory: Being local, we haven’t stayed at any of these hotels. We recommend AAA or TripAdvisor to check them out (and perhaps find alternatives that suit your personal style better.) We have listed them from highest to lowest rating based on AAA (from Wonderful to Excellent to Very Good, to Good.) In blocking rooms, we skipped any lower rated hotels, and also all hotels in other areas.
