The Radical, a new boutique hotel, is set to debut in the River Arts District in Asheville, NC. Now accepting reservations for stays beginning October 8, 2023, The Radical is owned by Hatteras Sky and operated by Lark Hotels. The collection of spaces, uses, businesses and offerings, including guestrooms, will reportedly reflect the independent and artistic communities of Asheville.
About the property: The 70-room contemporary hotel and living art installation breathes new life into a once-abandoned building while preserving beautiful evidence of its past lives—from a 1920s breakfast cereal factory to a graffiti artists’ haven. With "rebel luxe" interiors by Suomi Design Works, the hotel’s layered design melds with towering raw concrete pillars, exposed brick walls and original street art.
The Radical will offer dining and bar concepts helmed by Asheville chef and restaurateur Jacob Sessoms. Good to know: The hotel will also be home to an outdoor courtyard with multiple terraces for events, weddings and community programming.
The opening of The Radical expands on Lark Independent’s footprint in North Carolina, joining seven total properties in the Southeast operating under the boutique hospitality brand’s third party management services. On the heels of The Radical opening, Lark Hotels and Hatteras Sky will also launch Zelda Dearest, a 20-room boutique hotel inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald.
