After Bon Marché's long run as one of Asheville's premier department stores, the building entered a new chapter in 1937 when Ivey's Department Store took over the corner of Haywood Street and Battery Park Avenue. A fixture of downtown commercial life through the mid-20th century, Ivey's welcomed generations of shoppers through its doors until closing in 1976.

Today, the same building stands as Haywood Park Hotel, carrying forward a tradition of hospitality in a space that has been welcoming people for more than a century. While the mannequins, clothing racks, and department store counters are long gone, the grand architecture and sense of occasion remain. It's one more chapter in the story behind our motto: A History of Luxury.

Some places just age well.

Since 1923, Haywood Park Hotel has watched downtown Asheville change outside its doors while keeping its timeless charm intact. You roll up and suddenly it feels like you could hear jazz drifting down Haywood Street and catch the scent of fresh ci**rs in the air.

A history of luxury never goes out of style.

Before Asheville’s skyline was dotted with boutique hotels and rooftop cocktails, the Battery Park Hotel stood as one of the grandest destinations in the Southeast. Opened in 1886 by railroad tycoon Frank Coxe, the massive Queen Anne-style hotel overlooked the city from Battle Square and welcomed everyone from politicians to celebrities escaping to the mountains for fresh air and luxury. At the time, Asheville was becoming known as a health and travel destination, and Battery Park Hotel helped put the city on the map in a big way.

While the original hotel is gone, pieces of that era still echo through downtown. Here at Haywood Park Hotel, we’re proud to be neighbors to that history on Battery Park Avenue, carrying forward some of the same charm, hospitality, and appreciation for Asheville’s architectural character.
