The 84-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott at 836 Upward Road, scheduled to open Friday, offers amenities that include an indoor pool and free hot breakfast.

The newest hotel in the Flat Rock area provides guests convenient access to the Flat Rock Playhouse, Carl Sandburg House and Chimney Rock. Rates begin at $89 per night. 

“Delivering both function and comfort, our new design and décor elevate the Fairfield brand, setting a new standard in the moderate tier category,” Callette Nielsen, vice president and global brand manager, Fairfield Inn & Suites, said in a news release. “At Fairfield Inn & Suites, we provide an easy, positive and productive travel experience, as well as the promise of consistent and reliable service at an exceptional value. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Hendersonville Flat Rock is a truly stunning example of the brand’s contemporary look and feel, and we are pleased to introduce Fairfield Inn & Suites hotels in the Flat Rock area.”

The design includes an updated exterior with a signature tower, a curved porte-cochere and an inviting glass entrance that ushers them into the hotel. Once inside, guests experience the hotel’s open public space featuring natural light and views throughout the lobby to connect the indoors with the outdoors.

In the lobby area, guests can choose to be productive, relax or enjoy breakfast or a snack in a modern and flexible environment featuring a vibrant, natural color palette of greens, blues and oranges. Guests can also unwind in the lobby’s inviting living area ― whose focal points include a natural stone hearth, organic-shaped sofa and lounge chair, and unique local features — or they can grab a drink or snack item from the 24/7 Corner Market. 

The breakfast area’s signature farm table provides a central gathering place where guests can watch television, meet up with colleagues or get work done. In the morning, guests can enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, choosing from oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, make-your-own waffles and other healthy items, such as fruit, yogurt, and whole grain cereals and breads. 

Guest rooms include a work area with an ergonomic chair, task lighting and convenient electrical outlets and a curved, mobile desk that enables guests to create their own work space while also optimizing their television viewing. 

Additional hotel amenities include an indoor swimming pool, an exercise room, valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as fax and copy services.
