Virtelle’s success is measured in part by the vitality of our community.  When it thrives, we thrive.

Our hospitality extends far beyond our lobby - we are part of Asheville’s vibrant community.  While our goal is to provide exceptional service to the guests of our city, our mission is to give back in ways that enrich lives and create a lasting positive impact on our community.  

Each year, we are committed to many community efforts including Sweet Dreams, Full Plates campaign, UNCA Foundation, and United Way.  Our leadership also serves on a wide array of community led boards and initiatives including the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, UNCA Foundation, and the United Way of Buncombe County Board.

Founded in 2018 by Swati and Himanshu, Horizons at Carolina Day School is a tuition-free transformational, community-centered, summer learning program that provides fun, experiential, and challenging academic enrichment for low-income students.  Children join Horizons the summer after Kindergarten and return to the program each year through 8th grade, building lasting relationships with their teachers and peers, and developing life skills essential for success.
