This was an exceptional COVID hotel experience. This is a full service hotel and the valets and bellhops take their jobs very seriously. I don’t know if I’ve met a friendlier group of people. The old school, original Otis elevator is very small, but very cool all at the same time. We enjoyed the variety of restaurants, marketplace and bars at the hotel. Of all the servers we encountered, there was only one bad experience. It was disappointing, but not bad enough to downgrade my rating of this hotel. We did venture down to the spa, but did not have any treatments. On our next trip, the spa will be on our agenda. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see a black bear foraging in the bushes close to the front door!
The Terrace was over crowded with guests who didnt seem to care about the mask mandate. But the guy at the hot chocolate ginger bread house was very polite and made some fire hot coco. Beautiful views and beautiful interior. Parking was plentiful and free.
Our stay was the good as it always has been. However the staff are really ride to guests that even take down their masks for even a few seconds. I couldnt believe the way they talked to paying customers. I agree with wearing masks but, the way I kept hearing the staff speak to people who had mask down for just a few seconds even, where disrespectful, a couple where uncalled for. I seen one almost turn into a fight, and another guest that got threatened to be removed. It was for my wife and kids. Causing us to leave because my daughter felt unsafe. Such a beautiful and awesome place, lots of great memories there. Its never been like this before.
We love the Grove Park Inn and have a tradition of visiting wash November just before Thanksgiving.The huge lobby is flanked by giant fireplaces with rocking chairs comfortable seating - a great place to sit and read or enjoy a beverage.The sunset terrace has spectacular views of the valley and mountains and, as the name implies, the best place to enjoy a glass of wine watching the sunset.The spa is fabulous with wonderful treatments plus pools, saunas and whirlpools.The service is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this historic inn!
This is a beautiful hotel and the staff are wonderful. The rooms are OK but the room I was put in had a sticky substance on the window and the chairs in the room were visibly dirty (white chairs with brown stains). Additionally, the floor I was on had a STRONG smell of chlorine (floor 4 - Vanderbilt Wing).PRICE GOUGING:The hotel charge $30 dollars for their breakfast buffet, this would be a reasonable price if high quality foods were provided (meat, fish, etc) but the quality of the food was no better than what would be expected at a Holiday Inn free breakfast buffet or a Cracker Barrel. BUT it doesnt end here, the hotel wants $2 for a mask. $2 for something that is MANDATED by the government (this isnt an anti-masker thing, its just ridiculous that for upwards of $500 a night, masks are not free). Overall, great hotel in a great location with great, friendly employees. Just terribly anti-consumer policies. Open your wallet and grab your ankles if you plan on staying here.
The Inn itself never disappoints. It is a wonderful place to spend with family and friends for the holidays. The seafood dinner, however, was a thorough disappointment. Our disappointment was seen, addressed, and partially remedied by wonderful staff, particularly Anna, the Assistant Mgr.The disappointment was from the absolute lack of quality of the food presented in the very very small amount of options. I understand that we are all in this together regarding pandemic and that it has affected each and every one of us in our businesses. However, the restaurant should not still be charging $50 a head when the food that is provided is worth less than $20 per person.
No question the place is beautiful and has amazing views. But the Sunday buffet was very disappointing. The price is higher than ever but there was only half the variety. No breads and really no salads. This used to be an amazing brunch. I understand that covid is here, but then at least up your game. I had the eggs Benedict with a very very thin piece of ham on a Biscuit. To add insult on top of the whole experience i had to pay for valet to eat at their restaurant. I guess they dont want the public eating their. I suggest another choice for Sunday brunch.
Excellent hospitality, fantastic staff, and great food and drinks. Our puppy was exhausted after everyone fell in love with him in the lobby. Vue was amazing, and Kims drinks at Edison were out of this world good. Nowhere I would rather spend my hard earned money...
We had a wonderful stay at the Omni Grove Park Inn despite some of the restrictions because of the pandemic. Some of the restaurants were closed and others only allowed half capacity, but you could order take out to eat in your room. We ate at the Sunset Terrace, Blue Ridge and Edison. We ordered take out from Edison 3 times! There was no room service either. We spent a wonderful afternoon in there gorgeous spa. Our room had a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the golf course. My husband and I would open the windows to enjoy the view when we read books. It was a very relaxing stay.
The place is beautiful, pricey, the food was pretty good just really salty (I am not big on a lot of salt). However, after dinner, we went to the bar for a cocktail....well, that was when the star rating goes down. Hey ladies, if you want your husband groped by a bar waitress named Christine, then this the the place for you! She was all over our neighbors husband, put her arm around his neck, got right up in his face, had her body all pushed up on him FYI: I guess covid didnt matter to her but her tip did! Well, then we bought one round and guess what, yup, same thing to my husband because he was holding the debit card, he didnt want to leave her even 50 cents! Well, lets just say, I will be making a phone call tomorrow. I didnt realize this place hired this kind and that we had to watch our husbands being touched and rubbed on. She made all 4 of us very uncomfortable! Unbelievable behavior!
One of my favorite destinations. This is a place that you spend a long weekend without leaving the resort. Theres hiking and golf right on the grounds. The restaurants are fantastic and the dueling piano lounge is a lot of fun! And you need to spend at least one entire day at the world class spa. Even my husband loves it! But make sure you book your spa treatment when you book your room, or you may not get a chance.
Omni Grove Park Inn provides so many attractions that has something for all ages and personalities. Sitting in front of those gorgeous fireplaces is so relaxing. Best place for Leadership retreats to hash over the year and plan for the new year. Excellent staff and food.
Stating the obvious here but it’s amazing. Grove Park is a gem. Check in was easy and there was a small problem with my room which weirdly enough the lady next to me was having too (possibly a booking glitch?). Anyways the problem was immediately resolved without any problems and with a sincere apology which was greatly appreciated. That’s definitely part of what you are paying for here is quality service and they definitely delivered! My room was gorgeous, clean and quiet. I had a beautiful Mountain View. Everything was just amazing. Would highly recommend!
Loved all of the amenities. We were willing to pay a little extra knowing that if we never left, we could enjoy the resort. We did just that. We stayed in the original historic part of the inn. The bathroom could have used a little more attention on the cleaning aspect. However- being able to open the windows completely and let the mountain air in was a total plus. We enjoyed music in the lobby bar and sitting in front of the massive fireplaces.
We had such a wonderful experience at the Sunset Terrace! Our server was greatand who really took the show was the server assistant ,Dani! He was so polite, made sure we always had our glasses full, and was genuinely kind and caring. We will definitely be going back again soon!
We came here for dinner and ate at Blue Ridge. It turned out to be buffet, but the best buffet I have ever had! There were people there to serve out your choices and it was all delicious!In the main lobby towards the back there is a giant gingerbread house, actually made of gingerbread! From there they sold hot chocolate and cookies.
My wife and I stayed here for our 1 year anniversary (actually we stayed the week leading up to our anniversary day). The resort and the views were beautiful. The food was amazing (we highly recommend the Smash Burger). The room was fine, but the bed definitely left something to be desired. We didnt sleep much the 6 nights we stayed. Otherwise this would easily be 5 stars. I definitely recommend for the amazing food, views, amenities, and location.
Socially distant dining. Delicious food. Cozy atmosphere. Large fireplaces. Indoor and outdoor seating with beautiful view of the mountains. Amazing spa. Cant wait to return!
Night time on the balcony of the Omni Grove Park. A few cocktails, a fabulous dinner, and hopefully an excellent nights sleep in one of the oldest rooms in the hotel overlooking the front entrance. More photos to come! Love this place. We return every year usually during the holidays, but came for the fall to see the beautiful leaves changing their color for the season.
Just visited as a guest to enjoy the fantastic views from the outside terrace area while enjoying a couple of local beers and cocktails. Parking is free for the first three hours and service was excellent and friendly. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the Asheville area and it has one of the best views around.
Great place for our honeymoon. Do plan ahead for events and ideas there but overall one of the best experiences we had ever had
We had mixed experiences. Our room was kinda funky. Lights not working, no nightlight in bathroom, asked for a room with a view, no view, zero view, no real bathroom door, weird sliding door that didnt work properly, sad chairs in the room, no towel bars, short supply of towels. I could go on, but I wont. That said, the staff was helpful and friendly. We did have comfortable beds, hot water, central ac/heat. The food was outstanding. We were not advised booking our stay that veranda dining reservations a few weeks out are necessary. But honestly I think its partly our fault for not knowing that because of covid-19 they have cut from 150 to 75 guests out there, so please if you are reading this and veranda dining is important to you make reservations accordingly. I do hope you go, but without too high of expectations. Just enjoy the history of the place, and relax.
Extraordinary place. An incredible location facing west with amazing views of the mountains, best time to go is for a drink at sunset and dinner at any of the 3 restaurants. Prices are very high, a glass of wine $18 and the have very few outdoor sitting area but they have many indoor seating chairs, is reccomend it to get earlier and reservations need it. The formal dining restaurant is very casual, small dishes and over priced meal; $75 for deer or $99 entrecot. There is also an sport bar and restaurant but the main attraction is the amazing lobby with the fireplace. It is worth the visit
We did not stay at the resort and my rating is for the dining experience in the Blue Ridge only. Let me preface by saying that the venue itself is beautiful, the concept of separate food stations had the capacity to be a novel and inspiring experience, and our service was outstanding. With that said and with no intention to be unkind, I can say with all sincerity that my husband and I agreed that most fast food had more taste than what we ate. It was our 37th wedding anniversary and we expected a lovely formal meal. What we got was a plate of cold or lukewarm foods that seemed unseasoned, bland, and aesthetically unappealing on the plate. I did not avail myself of the Asian station (which seems to have substituted for a pasta option) and, therefore, the only other hot vegetable available that night were peas in the pod that I suspect were meant to be blanched. They literally still had the woody stems and tips on them-all of them!- (I discovered when I choked on them) and were as crunchy and verdant as when plucked from the garden. A blue cheese and pecan wedge salad literally left a pool of water on my plate and I counted two specks of blue cheese and half a pecan in the whole serving. It had zero taste. I exaggerate not. Cocktails were all ice and fruit juice and horribly expensive! A preschooler could have enjoyed them. The desserts were beautiful to look at, but even they seemed to taste a lot alike. I hesitate to sound snarky, as my son is a chef in a high-end bistro in Ohio and I know adjustments to menus are being made during Covid-19. However, I do think care can be taken in the prep of food so it is at least eatable. We did not have a late evening reservation which might have explained some deficits. Most of our very expensive meal was left uneaten on our plate.
This place is certainly beautiful. When you pay the price here you would expect a comfortable bed, our bed was awful. I didnt sleep the 3 nights we were here. Also, with the price you would expect a King bed, no it was a queen. Also, to use the gym you have to use the spa, we were told you could ask one of the employees and they would unlock it for us. Im fine with paying money if a place is worth it, but GPI needs to lower their prices or make improvements.
Very pretty but that comes with a cost. For a luxury resort you really pay for the view not the service. Too many expensive restaurants on site and few complimentary things again for the price. Rooms are average. Go here for the view but dont pay for upgraded rooms. Trust us. Want to see 5 star with a cheaper price for a resort? Della terra Colorado. You are welcome.
Phenomenal! Impeccable service, breathtaking view, very romantic, upscale experience. It is a little expensive but it is well worth every dime you spend! I look forward to visiting again soon!
Awesome history here. Food and service were good. Very crowded.
One of our most favorite place to visit. The view at the Sunset Terrace Restaurant is spectacular! Always have a great dining experience.
It had some amazing views and great amenities. Most of the amenities are not available due to covid-19 but still a nice resort. The staff deserve 5 stars and get all of your requests taken care of promptly. I would recommend ordering takeout and running by the ABC store if its a long stay because the resort restaurants and bars are priced similarly to Vegas, Miami and DC
I always visit when I’m in the area and especially in the Fall. Drinks on the back terraced seating areas with gorgeous views...it’s definitely a must!!! Iconic is all I can say about the Omni Grove Park Inn.
I was impressed with the Omni Hotels Commitment to Clean and the protocols they had listed on their website so my husband and I decided to make the trip. I have heard great things about Grove Park and was excited to try it out.Upon arrival, it was clear we were going to be exposed to COVID-19. The furniture in the lobby was definitely not spaced for social distancing. Every day we encountered guests who were combatant and rude to associates when asked to wear a mask. There were guests everywhere who did not have a mask on properly but were not addressed by staff.The property simply told me, guests dont have to wear masks while eating or drinking so they excused guests from wearing masks as long as they were holding a glass of wine or cup of coffee. The scene in the lobby and the sunset terrace looked just like old times.If you have stayed at this property I encourage you to quarantine and get a COVID test to prevent the spread. If you want to catch COVID, I recommend staying at the Main Inn and making sure you get a spot in front of the fireplace.
The historic rooms with a king sized bed are nice. The whole things is done in arts and crafts style, which I love! There are two massive fireplaces in the lobby where people wait to snag a rocking chair. The 1913 restaurant is overpriced and not very good. The terrace restaurant is tastier and a little less pricey. The marketplace is a good place for a cappuccino or chai.
Christmas at the Grove Park Inn is magical. Definitely a site to see even if you are not staying at the Inn.
What to say about the 5-star hotel and restaurants...it is exceptional from start to finish. Eat in the Blue Ridge room as often as you can. Walk the property and take in the history. Sit in the lobby and enjoy the fireplaces. Enjoy drinks and food in the sunset porch. All will be outstanding, I promise. But, bring your wallet...lol
Never disappoints. Dinner at the Sunset Terrace is a must. Beautiful hotel full of history. Portraits throughout of all the dignitaries and celebrities who have stayed there.
My husband and I stayed at the Omni Grove Park Inn for our 5 year wedding anniversary trip. The whole stay was incredible from start to finish. The entire place was gorgeous, and the staff was so accommodating and friendly, especially Marilyn at the Sunset Terrace! She made us feel so special and she was such a joy to see each day! The spa is next-level! Its pricey, but worth every penny. We are already finding reasons to go back soon!
Its my first resort--not my last! Love The Grovepark Inn. Its so truly healing and restorative with luxurious pampering and care. The Sunset Terrace offers incomparable international cuisine and made our visit so enjoyable. Love the staff love the patrons love the beauty of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains...cant beat it anywhere!
Today we visited the Grove Park inn to view their gingerbread house competition. The Grove Park inn was absolutely beautiful. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The gingerbread houses were amazing. My two-year-old absolutely loved them. I would highly recommend stopping to see the gingerbread houses!
My husband and I had an awesome weekend here, even with the Covid restrictions. We had wonderful service everywhere. Dinner and lunch both at Edison and The Sunset Terrace were amazing. We also had attentive service just while lounging and having drinks. The spa was unreal...the atmosphere with rocks everywhere and large pools made it seem not so crowded. Our room was clean and it had a really pretty view of the mountains. My husband loved the golf course. All of the staff members were accommodating and friendly. We cannot wait to return!
Positive: Beautiful property, very relaxing. Negative: No. Loved everything
Fantastic resort with a high level of service. The spa is one of the best in the area, but you will need to book months in advance in order to ensure availability.
I was really looking forward to a special weekend getaway in the mountains at this infamous resort. But I have to say I was disappointed with the accommodations. Everyone was very friendly and I had a great time with my group. However, the hotel is extremely overpriced. I do not mind paying luxury prices for high end accomodations. But at the Grove Park you pay luxury prices for a small room that is not comfortable (too soft mattresses and pillows and a comforter that is as thin as a sheet), with very basic furnishings. The showers are very small and awkward for me at 5’10 and it takes several minutes for the water to heat up. We ate at their restaurants both nights which were very good. However, upon check out several people in our group noticed that the dinner charges had been charged to the wrong people and I had an incorrect charge to my room (which I discovered before check out). I would probably give it another try if they did a major overhaul to the rooms.
Gorgeous facility! The sprawling lobby is absolutely gorgeous with the large stone fireplaces. Great spot to sit outside and relax with a beverage. The grounds are beautifully maintained. The spa is impeccable.
We go here once in a while to relax. Beautiful day building beautiful view. Fun place to hang out!
From the time we checked in, Lindsey took exceptional care of us. We have not stopped talking about our experience. We definitely plan on a return visit
We had a wonderful lunch here on our vacation! You cannot beat the view from the terrace! It was absolutely gorgeous. We got the burger and the fried green tomato BLT and they were both wonderful. We are looking forward to visiting again!
What a GORGEOUS PLACE TO VISIT. Architectural design was unbelievable, and the grounds were just breath taking. A lot of Presidents and Celebrities have sayed there.BUT HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLETHad a glass of beer, glass of house wine, and a Sangria drink $49.75To PLAY with the RITZ, YOUR going to PAY.
Had their Brunch. I have to eat gluten free, and everyone made sure it was perfect. Great folks working there!
I truly love this place for so many reasons. I love its grandness but yet the way it still feels cozy. In the summer we love to dine on the patio and take in the summer mountain air. In the winter we love to sip something warm in one of the rocking chairs by the massive fireplaces. We love to roam the halls checking out that years gingerbread displays and beautifully decorated trees throughout the resort.
Mountain Trout is a staple of the Terrace at GPI...and our favorite meal. Ohhh... daStout blends perfectly.
Amazing piece of history!! The lobby is PHENOMENAL! Our Bellman Darus was incredibly helpful and kind. If you get him as your Bellman, BE SURE TO TIP HIM, HE DESERVES IT! The rooms were a bit disappointing because they are so small. But what can I expect from a hotel that was built in 1913! Definitely worth the stay!
Great hotel. Beautiful grounds and hiking trails on property. Restaurants were good. Lobby bar was nice and comfortable. Good for families and adults. Short drive to many attractions in the area.
A beautiful hotel with great views! It was extremely busy but that just shows how popular it is!
Amazing place, great service. The food in the restaurants is delicious and fast. The hotel is amazing it is really comfortable and has great views. The spa is beautiful.
This is a beautiful hotel, with ok rooms and a beautiful ambience, particularly for the holidays; however, since it was taken over by the Omni, you are discouraged from coming to visit, or eat at the restaurants except for designated times as they host the gingerbread competition. It used to be free to park and visit at any time, and we always had dinner and then went to see the beautiful houses. Now they charge a huge fee to park, the food is not great especially for the price and the times are limited to a couple days a week.Maybe having the competition online this year will allow more people to see all of the houses and be inspired without having cram this into the propertys schedule.
Went here to check out wedding venues. Maud couldnt have been more dismissive. Drove 2 hrs to be told we could see 2 not the 3 locations we were interested in. Then learned no 2021 openings any at any of the 3 venues in our time frame. Dont get all the hoopla over this place other than outdoor views. Lunch was even average.
Amazing location, makes you feel like youre in a Hallmark Movie!
This place is very pricey, but worth it. You’re getting a five star hotel, with 5 star service at a 4 star price. You can stay in the historic part of the hotel, like I did, or the newer part. The historic rooms are rustic, lacking outlets by the night stand and USB ports. But you fell like you’re staying in a mountain lodge. The newer part is like any other hotel room, but with morn modern conveniences. The grounds are spectacular. So are the rooms. The hotel is made of stone and has the lodge feel. The lobby is lovely. I would definitely stay here again.
Stopped here to eat breakfast at the Blue Ridge Restaurant. The views are amazing and the food is to die for. Everything is made in house or locally from strach. Make sure you come hungry so you can try all of it.
Whatever you do - do not book online. You can not cancel for any reason. I booked a birthday get away for NOV 23. when we called the next day to book spa treatments they told they were none. We called back to Cancel immediately. They politely let me know that i booked online and would have to pay $520. I was heartbroken as this was a gift for my friend and now I’m out the money. Have been to grove park many times and even held business functions there over the years. I will NEVER go back.
This hotel was so beautiful. We did not stay here but a friend had and told us just go there and see the place. We were in Banner Elk NC and did a day trip. This place is just magnificent. Lobby was beautiful, spa was very large, had a nice restaurant and several bars huge beautiful fireplaces. If you are ever in area take the time to see it!!
Historic, beautiful and the perfect place to stay. As great as the property is, the staff is even greater. David Wilkins at the front desk was amazing and helped make an anniversary trip perfect.
There are, arguably, only 2 places to stay in Asheville - the Grove Inn or the Biltmore Estate. Come to the Grove Inn to understand what may have brought people from across the east here to experience the crisp mountain air. These are two completely different experiences, though. The Biltmore is Disneyland. The Grove Inn is all about the sunset; perched on a steep mountainside, the rooms are all BELOW the lobby level with a panoramic view of the Blue Ridge and Asheville below. Be aware: this is a tourist attraction and many people come here for happy hour cocktails and to watch the sunset.Try and get your room in the Vanderbilt wing. The Sammons wing, while architecturally the same, is a much further walk from the main hotel, lobby and amenities. In addition, the Sammons wing parking is much more difficult to access with a lower ceiling; problem for SUVs. The swimming pool and fitness center are in a different building entirely; quite a walk from the Sammons wing, but even for the Vanderbilt wing. The designers sacrificed what would have been a great public pool area at the foot of the mountain for a private spa, so you have to, effectively, leave the resort to go to what is a neighborhood gym.The distance of amenities and the long lines for morning coffee at the resort store, are the only obvious shortcomings. But thats not why you come here. It is a wonderful, historic place with updated comfortable rooms.
Beautiful, relaxing, perfect girls trip. The resort is amazing and the spa is magical. Put this place on your list.
I am aghast at the horrible treatment by the staff at this hotel. As many reviewers have stated, the prices are very high but the views make it worth the stay. Based on this, we nevertheless decided to book 3 nights as we dont mind paying high prices for what we expect to be quality facilities and service in return. Well, how wrong we were with the Omni Grove Park! The rooms are small and mediocre at best with well-worn and damaged furniture. And this in what are described as premium rooms.Upon check-in, I informed the desk staff that my father has mobility issues and that we require rooms with reasonable accessibility. Instead, we were placed in rooms in the most remote part of the hotel. When I asked for a more accessible room, the answer was no and that no further help could or would be provided in this regard. So much for the ADA!Once we finally arrived at the rooms and saw how lacking they were, I returned to the front desk to cancel the remainder of the reservation. The front desk clerk did adjust the reservation accordingly and agreed to refund the unused parts of the reservation. This was and is appreciated.Nevertheless, I did request to speak to someone more senior about the quality of the rooms and the exorbitant rate we were being charged. I received a call from the Front Desk Manager who insisted that the hotel had done enough for us already, and that we had no basis on which to complain further. This struck me as a VERY strange thing for someone in guest relations and customer service to say, so I requested that she have her senior call me to discuss my concerns. The Front Desk Manager refused then hung up on me. Having just paid $1200 for 2 rooms for 1 night, I find this behavior beyond reprehensible.This property obviously does not care about its customers experience or disability challenges. The only bright spark was the hostess at the restaurant who listened empathetically and apologized for our disappointing experience. It is for her alone that I even considered giving a one-star rating. Without her, rating would be negative 10!This property is only about maximizing its profits by jamming as many people through as possible and not its guest experience or welfare. Definitely DO NOT recommend.
Visited today to meet family for lunch. Was impressed. Great view of mountains. Had trout lunch/dinner. Staff was very nice and all wearing masks. Bit expensive but everything we ordered was great so cant complain too much. Will be back.
Its was a relaxing weekend. You can almost feel the history in that place. The price of food was unbelievably expensive. I would recommend it if you want a husband and wife get away and just want to spend time on the course or in the spa. But I would bring a few snacks with me. Its hard to relax when you feel like youre being robbed when you buy a bottle of water.
Beautiful view and place. Lots of safety in place for the pandemic times. Amazing staff. Great place for a wedding
For a buffet the food was stellar and plentiful. It was priced fairly for all the selection and quality. The only complaint I can say about the place is there is no free parking that I know of. Highly recommend a visit if you are in town. The overall venue from the shops to the food. Definitely get a hot chocolate from coffee shop and go sit by the fire.
Love the history and architecture of this place! Just gorgeous!
It was a wonderful experience - but be warned - felt as if there wasnt enough social distancing and enforcement of wearing masks. Have a side of covid with your dinner. At least 15 people standing within a 3 to 10 foot distance of our table.
I travel around the world and the USA a lot so comparing it to places I have been: Views are beautiful and it’s a cool old hotel. The service has been good. We got an executive suite for a night to check it out. My wife and I were disappointed in the cleanliness of the room and it’s very old decor and layout which is understandable given the age of the place. The food was ok, neither of our dishes were cooked properly and we waited 22 min from being seated until the first person talked to us which didn’t sit well with us. The spa is cool looking and worth the photo-op. The golf course is nice and well maintained. My wife and I are in our young 30s and it’s probably for an older age group. I wouldn’t spend the money again to come back but if you want to come for lunch and check out the view I think that would be cool.
We come to the resort and spa at least once a year for the last several years. The rooms in the old part of the hotel are small and bathrooms are smaller, but its worth the stay. I highly recommend this resort and the spa. Always a great night at the piano bar as well!
This hotel was stunning! The service was incredible; all the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The location was amazing, close to downtown, but secluded. The view was amazing, lauded by many we spoke to in Asheville as the best in the area. We didnt get to see any of the competing Ginger bread houses, but theyd started advertising with the hot chocolate stand, which was delicious. The breakfast buffet we had was plentiful and delicious.
Amazing resort with some great views of the mountains and downtown Asheville in the distance. There are a number of shops to visit, tasty restaurants to eat at and great outdoor seating! There are a number of bars and even an amazing spa! The staff is very friendly and helping. The rooms are nice and the beds are comfortable. I look forward to coming back again!
Great place to go and explore even if you dont have a dime in your pocket. Great place to spend the weekend if you do have the dimes
Hands down one of my favorite hotels ever. Spent 4hrs in the lobby, with drinks and fire. Go!
This was by far one of the most outstanding venues I have ever visited. The hotel is spectacular but the grounds are even better!! I did not stay the there but I did enjoy the property and also enjoyed dining in their restaurant. The fish I had was beyond delicious, so fresh and tasty. The service was very good to!
The hotel (Main Building) is beautiful and the views were spectacular. We ate at two of the restaurants and the food was great, especially at the Edison. Due to COVID restrictions, reserving a table was the most frustrating part but this was not a planned trip. I now know next time to make dinner reservations when I make my hotel reservation. My room was ok, it served the purpose but nothing to write home about. There was an issue with a bug (it was huge and it got away by scurrying under the baseboard) and the hotel offered to spray my room but not move me so, I was not impressed with that result. I declined, not wanting to have a chemical sprayed in my room with 3 more days left of my stay. Lastly, I went to the Marketplace Store inside the restaurant on my last night. The doors were closed but three young females were in there cleaning, I’m assuming after their shift. I knocked hoping to make an emergency purchase but instead of telling me sorry we are closed, they decided that it was funny to laugh and ignore a customer.I do plan to return for another stay yes but I will not spend another dime in the Marketplace Store.
A spectacular dinner only bested by its spectacular view of the mountains.
Its an architectural masterpiece with amazing views and interesting history.
Great elegant beautiful adventures place with the best energized helpful staff. We had a great time. Thank you
Incredible historic Inn in Asheville. Great service. Food and drinks are excellent. Dining furniture on both open porch restaurants needs to be replaced. Its unacceptable and not in keeping with the consistent quality of this Inn.Patrons need to be made to follow Covid19 precautions, evidently some cant comprehend.
A must do in Asheville NC. Great Sunday Brunch
Not a lot of the amenities are available during Covid restrictions. The Hotel is beautiful, cant get a better scenery. Didnt get to try any of the full service restaurants as majority of them are closed. Staff was very friendly, very helpful.
This is certainly a special place! Words fail to adequately describe this experience. History, Mountains, Incredible Food and A WORLD CLASS SPA!
Staff was friendly, fireplaces warm and cozy, hot chocolate delicious!
Send your taste buds to heaven & your budget to hell. Really gorgeous, delicious, but for one night splurge only.
Stunning setting overlooking the mountains. Nice indoor/outdoor seating. Perfect place to grab a cocktail and sit by the fireplace or enjoy the sunshine. Only giving a #4 since we did not stay there overnight; unsure of room accommodations.
I have stated here many times in the past and always enjoyed myself. However, during COVID much has changed and I would not recommend spending the money for half amenities. The spa is reduced capacity and full most days of our stay, they are not offering day passes and the therapeutic waterfall pools are closed. They are not offering room service. Some restaurants are not open and all are reduced capacity so reservations are difficult to obtain. No glassware provided in room including coffee mugs. But, the views are still amazing and cannot be paralleled.
We went to The Omni Grove Park Inn for a lunch date. The service was above and beyond; extremely friendly and fast. The food was amazing and great to enjoy with the beautiful view. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends.
It was so beautiful. .loved every bit of it .THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE ...were amazing. .The big fire places were cozy...enjoyed it very much
This is a wonderful getaway resort. We love Omni hotel hoping and this was a home run. Terrace sunsets are awesome. Gotta spend on a good spa day...worth extra money!
I’ve been to hundreds of hotels. Some VERY nice ones. But The Grove Park Inn is hands down my favorite. From the small details to the big ones this place has it all. Great restaurants, great rooms, INCREDIBLE atmosphere/ambiance, AMAZING views, neat shops, the best breakfast buffet in the state and most importantly there is not a better Spa in the country.I would absolutely live in this hotel if I could. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, something with the family or a place to have your business meeting this is the place!
