History
Kimpton Hotel Arras occupies a landmark modernist tower in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, originally built as the Northwestern Bank Building, which opened on October 23, 1965 after a groundbreaking in February 1964. Rising 19 stories to about 228 feet, the roughly 201,000-square-foot tower was long the tallest building in Asheville and later served as the BB&T Building.
Developer McKibbon Places carried out a major Art Deco-inspired redevelopment, and the building reopened in November 2019 as the Kimpton Hotel Arras, with the 128-room hotel occupying floors 1 through 9 and the 54-unit Arras Private Residences filling floors 10 through 19. The reimagined tower, managed by McKibbon Hospitality, added the ground-floor restaurants Bargello and District 42.
