Achernar, the closest and brightest classical Be star, presents rotational flattening, gravity darkening, occasional emission lines due to a gaseous disk, and an extended polar wind. It is also a member of a close binary system with an early A-type dwarf companion.We aim to determine the orbital parameters of the Achernar system and to estimate the physical properties of the components.We monitored the relative position of Achernar B using a broad range of high angular resolution instruments of the VLT/VLTI over a period of 13 years (2006-2019). These astrometric observations are complemented with a series of more than 700 optical spectra for the period from 2003 to 2016. The present dataset contains the high resolution spectra of Achernar that were included in our study. They werecollected using the BESO, BeSS, CHIRON, CORALIE, FEROS, HARPS, PUCHEROS, and UVES instruments. The spectraare provided in the form of standard FITS files, with the continuum flux normalized to unity.
