Best Resorts in Asheville, NC

Overlooking 8,000 acres of land south of downtown Asheville, North Carolina, the Inn on Biltmore Estate promises the same hospitality that former owners George and Edith Vanderbilt once showed guests at their home in the early 20th century. According to visitors, the hotel's employees are friendly and exceptionally attentive. Rooms, which come with complimentary Wi-Fi access and 24-hour room service, offer woodland and mountain views from king-sized or double beds. The Inn on Biltmore Estate also earns high praise for its cuisine at The Dining Room, which serves regional fare in a formal setting, though a meal here won't come cheap. You can also enjoy a traditional afternoon tea in the hotel's eatery. Other on-site amenities you'll find at this estate include a spa, an outdoor pool, a fitness center and various meeting spaces.

Located in northern Asheville, North Carolina, on the fringes of the Grove Park Country Club, The Grove Park Inn lures guests with its leafy surroundings. Travelers say that autumn is a great time to visit, as the rooms offer fantastic views of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountain ranges' kaleidoscopic fall foliage. As for the inn itself, many applaud the guest rooms for their soothing neutral decor and large, comfy beds. Others report that the resort's large size has caused the original inn to lose some of its charm. Guests also note that as the resort has grown, the prices have increased, too. However, visitors do appreciate the 43,000-square-foot spa and its range of decadent treatments. When it's time for a meal or drinks, guests can head to one of the several restaurants or bars on the property. Lodgers who participate in the Omni Select Guest program can earn and redeem free nights here, and get additional perks.
