Opened in 1913, The Omni Grove Park Inn is one of the great historic resort hotels of the American South — a massive, rustic-grand structure built from locally quarried granite boulders in the Arts & Crafts (Craftsman) style, with a famous Great Hall anchored by enormous stone fireplaces. Perched on the slope of Sunset Mountain in north Asheville, it commands sweeping views over the city and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it's earned National Historic Landmark status over its century-plus welcoming presidents, dignitaries, and luminaries (F. Scott Fitzgerald famously stayed for extended periods).
The resort blends its historic character with full modern amenities. Accommodations span the atmospheric original inn and newer wings, many with mountain views. Its crowning amenity is the subterranean Grove Park Inn Spa — a dramatic, cave-like spa built into the mountain, with grottos, waterfall pools, and a renowned wellness experience, regularly ranked among the country's best. There's also a championship golf course with mountain views, multiple restaurants and lounges, a sports complex, and grand public spaces. The hotel's elaborate seasonal events (including a famous National Gingerbread House Competition at Christmas) are draws in their own right.
Its north-Asheville mountainside location keeps it a touch removed from downtown (a short drive) while delivering the views and the grand-resort atmosphere, and it's a relatively easy drive from the Biltmore and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Grove Park Inn suits travelers wanting historic grandeur, a destination resort experience, the celebrated spa, and quintessential Asheville character. Booked directly.
