Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa Review

Best hotel experience I have had in many years! Plenty of staff, excellent world class spa, historical and elegant environment. Dog and family friendly, great place for couples or best friends weekend. Book a facial if you can, it was glorious

Always good..one our Favorite places to go in Asheville

Relaxing time, beautiful views, great food. I can't ask for much else.

The staff is very accommodating. The room that we stayed in was recently renovated with elegant rustic feel. The grounds are beautiful. The food is excellent.

I booked for an event. Needed to change my arrival date. The Omni gave me the option of paying $919 per night for a different room. Would not return my $332 deposit. Skip this place, it is a rip off. Plenty of other places to stay in Asheville.

Rude staff unhelpful and even we couldn't get in to any of the restaurants on a weekday for lunch we got stuck paying $20 for parking for maybe 20 minutes.

Absolutely breathtaking place to visit. Please go if you get the chance

The Omni Grove Park Inn was very beautiful, and a great setting to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Even though obscured by rain, fog and night, the view was great. Dinner at the Edison restaurant was delicious, and the service was very good. Finally, we got there to catch the world gingerbread competition, and we had a lot of fun seeing all of the entries. We would do it again.

The Grove Park Inn was exceptional. The views, amenities and service are amazing. The spa facilities are truly some of the best around. The massage was quite disappointing. Avoid the Mountain Air massage...it is loud. Masseuse was not great, but the gratuity is already included.

This trip was such a special treat for us! It was our first time at the resort. The spa experience as well as the love and luxury package made our weekend getaway all the more perfect. We will be back!

Great place for a date. Sit by the fire and have a drink and talk. Take a stroll to see the decorated trees. Quiet and peaceful late at night.

Love coming to the Grove Park just to visit and have a bite and a drink on the back veranda. Beautiful.

This place is a treasure. Only ever stayed in the old building, but that's because the original rooms in the old hotel offer the best views, and are full of original built-ins, hardware, etc from the original construction in the Art Deco/Craftsman style of the day. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and all the rooms are quiet because they are so solidly built. If you stay in even numbers in the old building, you'll overlook the subterranean spa, the golf course, and have a great view of the Asheville skyline. The main great room is incredibly impressive and made of massive stones, beautiful Art Deco light fixtures and 20+ foot ceilings. There are two large (you could almost walk into them) fireplaces at each end you can sit in a rocker and enjoy. All the staff are friendly and attentive. Concierge service is excellent. Behind each fireplace is a single small elevator still managed by an attendant. The spa here is extraordinary and beneath the grounds. There are multiple treatments available, aromatherapy, hot-towel, clay, dry/wet sauna, cold water/hot water tubs, the works. The masseuses are all excellent. The co-ed area is a stunning human-made cavern with multiple pools (lap, relaxation, high pressure waterfall grottos, an outdoor pool and lounge with cafe service). Worth the cost. If you do the spa, allow yourself several hours- you'll be glad you did. Dining is also first-rate. Get dinner at sunset on the Sunset Terrace at least once, even if you don't stay overnight. I can't recommend the Omni Grove Park Inn enough!

Rich history, best lobby in NC with 2 huge fireplaces, incredible service and attached shopping and food options. Incredible view and one of the best spas in the country. Not for those on a budget, but luxury accommodation in the mountains or for a daytrip. Elaine's piano bar is good entertainment on the weekends for adults. Several bars and restaurants and excellent food.

Gorgeous and relaxing hotel no matter what season. We have returned many times. The sunset on the back terrace is a beauty to behold. Excellent service by all hotel staff.

Recently had a phenomenal evening dining at the Sunset Terrace for a bachelorette dinner. From the food, the service, the views it was a night of perfection. The Grove Park Inn continues to outshine and out-do themselves with every visit. Stunning surroundings and amazing service, always creating a memorable experience, a must visit while in Asheville!

This is one of the best resort facilities I ve ever been to in the US. Staff is amazingly pleasant and helpful.

Kellys our lounge waitress was very sweet. We enjoyed great family time.

Beautiful Inn and surrounding landscape. The gingerbread houses each year are always amazing!

I have been going to The Omni Grove Park Inn since the early 1980"s.
My stay has always been exceptional.
I checked out yesterday and I am already looking forward to the next trip.

Move over Disney, this is the most magical place on Earth.

The Omni Give Park Inn is a wonderful hotel. The rooms have very nice views and are comfortable. Service at the hotel is the best I've experienced at many places. The are several restaurants add shops in the hotel. There's a spa and a good course. The Omni Grove Park Inn is located just a few minutes from downtown Asheville, NC with many great places to eat, shop and enjoy nightlife.

Breathtaking views. Outstanding buffet. Gourmet food. Great for special occasions. Always delicious.

Food was great! Amazing views and friendly staff! And wasn't priced to bad either! Look forward to returning in the near future!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay at the Omni Grove Park Inn. The hotel is tastefully elegant, the staff friendly, prompt and professional, and the spa and recreational amenities were superb.

Awesome place. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are nice. Great. Place to stay.

Although you have to plan a month in advance during the Christmas season it s worth it

Stay nearby for less money and then visit the resort. It is fun to watch others do that and anger the snooty people who paid so much to rub elbows with common folks.
The resort is beautiful and the views are amazing.

Fantastic property, very friendly staff, great accommodations, great food

Great Hotel. The resturant's are all 5 star. The service is top notch and all the staff are extremely helpfully and quick to attend to any needs you might have. Highly recommend.

Crowded because of the holiday so had to be patient with bar service but other than that, wonderful! Beautiful view, delicious dinner, stunning decorations for Christmas! Loved it!

Great location and attractive property. Lay out makes it a long walk to some of the activities and conference rooms

It is in the beautiful mountains of NC. The staff from the reservations dept to the housekeepers were 2nd to none. Great customer service!

Most beautiful hotel in Asheville, well worth the money, and we will have to stay here during our next visit. Great views and almost has everything you need (food, pool, golf, lounge) for a weekend getaway. Be aware of snakes in the garden though!

Great experience. A very upscale place, but not stuffy in the least. We were treated like the top guest, though I bet everyone there felt the same

Wow, Wow and WOW. What a place this is. Terrific panoramic views of the mountains in the back, unbelievable food and a place with the reputation of having celebrities, movie stars playwrites, dignitaries eat/stay at the property. Started in 1913 and still going strong. No accident there for sure. There is also a golf course as well. The only negative is the parking is not good but you get the first 3 hours of parking free - but you'll need all that to eat your huge meal and find your car. The cost is a little high, but to be expected for this level of service. It's also on my wife's top 5 best meals of her life, so it's a 5 out of 5 stars for this reviewer. It's fantastic, you will LOVE it.

Interested architecture, historical, huge property. Looks like a castle, made out of granite rocks. Huge fireplace in the huge entry/great room.

Oh my Lord what a beautiful place. There's nothing like it.

The spa facilities are amazing. A truly relaxing experience.

What a stunning place!!! I can t say enough about the views! We ate at the Edison and the food was wonderful! The raspberry lemon drop was my favorite drink!

Seriously amazing views and outdoor seating areas for drinks and food. Historic and inspirational place where many great influences of U.S. history and innovations came. Cool to know that great minds have collaborated here. I wouldn't recommend the hotel, but the rest of the resort is great (stay for a day and get reservations for a dinner at sunset on one of the terraces). Views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and downtown Asheville is minutes away.

Had a great night eating at the Blue Ridge. Seafood night was excellent as was the service.

I found my stay/experience significantly lacking the wow factor that I was expecting. The room (Deluxe king resort view) was much smaller than the online images made it seem. There were very few usable pillows on the bed which were not comfortable and the bathroom was a tight space. Outlets were scarce as well. Our room was not cleaned after our first night and we left early in the morning giving housekeeping ample time to service it. I found the daily resort fee and parking fee unreasonable as there are no complimentary activities/amentities you might find at other resorts who charge the same fees. The staff was very courteous but good customer service only goes so far when the facilities themselves (outside of the main historic inn) are very dated (elevators, hallways, guest rooms etc.). Overall, the prices charged for the room rate, drinks and food are inflated simply due to name of the hotel but each are not deserving of their price point. Sadly, I doubt I will ever return.

Incredible service from valet parking, check in, bellhops, concierge, waitstaff on and on. Beautiful views from the rooms. Numerous restaurants. No reason to leave. Oh, yeah...get a day pass for the spa!

Enjoyed the Sunday brunch at the Blue Ridge Dining Room. It was well stocked and the food was delicious as usual. The service was quick and attentive.

Was a great venue for a Valentine's dinner. Seemed they over booked for reservations as we had to wait for 20 minutes in line even though we had a specific time to be seated.

It was absolutely gorgeous my daughter Renee and I went there for a tour Mount people don't go there for towards that we went there for a tour to check it all out and it is beautiful the scenery the trees the waterfalls is a day to remember

Wonderful atmosphere and the staff is top shelf. The food is out of this world delicious! !

Great service and food. Very much enjoyed ourselves. The view was beautiful!

Would recommend staying over night or just come look around

the view was amazing! We ate at the Blue Ridge restaurant for their breakfast buffet. We got there about 45 minutes before it closed, and the food wasn't as fresh as it would have been if we were earlier. The food selections were pretty amazing though.

The place is beautiful. We went there for a drink on Thanksgiving and the decorations were magnificent. I've been coming here since 1965 and it never disappoints. Well not exactly true, we wanted to stay there but they were totally sold out.. It was our fault for waiting too late to get a reservation. A note to anyone wanting to go there over Thanksgiving, book a few months in advance.

First three hours parking free...walk in... check it out...have a drink with mountain views or catch a rocking chair by the giant fireplace inside! Either way you'll enjoy it!

Historic, grand and beautiful. If you can't afford to stay it is still worth a visit to see; beautiful stonework, fireplaces everywhere including 2 in the lobby that are tall enough to stand in. Treat yourself to a day at the spa, it's a splurge but so relaxing to spend the day in pool, eucalyptus steam room, plunge pool, sauna, loungers outside or comfy chairs inside near a fire.

Stunning views and great food. The history behind this Facility is also pretty amazing, I can't imagine anyone today working that hard to build a structure from rock with mainly manual labor. Make sure to save up and get the buffet at least once, fast for a bit before if you can lots to try and all so good!

Hopefully I'll get to stay one day.

Incredible ambience and history! Would stay again without a second thought!!!

Always a joy for Thanksgiving Brunch! Really signals the start of the holiday season for me and our family.

Very beautiful and well run hotel. The sites are amazing

Luxury meets comfort at the Grove Park Inn. Nothing but the finest in service and accommodations delivered in the most comfortable setting imaginable. The mountains surrounding Asheville provide the most amazing backdrop to the Grove Park Inn. Featuring an abundance of beautiful scenery, meticulously-maintained landscaping and energy that invigorates every sense. The Grove Park Inn is remarkable in every way possible.

A dramatically beautiful hotel in a spectacular mountain setting. The Great Hall is at once thrilling and relaxing and a tour of the historic central structure is fascinating. Gracious staff provides outstanding service.

Amazing experience, must watch the sunset from balcony

World class experience. My wife and I usually just get day passes to the spa as the massage therapists there are overworked and overpriced. Are you really going to pay $250 for a massage that you can get in town for $75? Your best value is to get day passes for $90 a piece and use the hot waterfalls, mineral pools, heated figure 8 pool, polar pluge, and aroma therapy saunas all day. You can even order food from the outside area.

Avoid peak times if you are looking for value. We usually wait until this hotel is around $300 per night. Haven't been back since Omni took over. Hope the prices are still competitive.

The Biltmore Hotel is also a good option, but we prefer the Grove Park. A+ experience.

We had a really enjoyable stay and a wonderful round of golf on the beautiful course. I was overwhelmed by the helpfulness and friendliness of all of the staff that we came in contact with. Overall, this was a great experience!

A very nice historic resort with a wonderful view of Asheville's mountain valley. It's expensive like all resorts, but worth the splurge if you've never been. Classy vibe with an accompanying old lodge feel. Great place to have food and drinks with a spectacular view. And the dueling piano bar (Elaine's) downstairs is worth a visit after dinner.

Can't beat the view, the sense of retreat, and the wonderful food. The art and artisans are inspiring, too.

Christmas at the Grove Park Inn with my family was spectacular! Two teenage boys were engaged by the golf course, fitness center, car museum, gingerbread house exhibit and hot chocolate house. My husband and I visited the spa. Happy memories, amazing service. Highly recommended

Great to be back speaking for NCACPA on LinkedIn today and Social Media Marketing. Grove Park Inn is amazing how they have upgraded but kept the history and feel of a legendary place. The rooms are excellent the service is outstanding. Look forward to coming back. Big thanks to North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants for bring me in. I had a great time.

I absolutely love this place from the incredible mountain view, craftsman style design, history, immense roaring fireplaces, fabulous Blue Ride breakfast and overall fantastic low key place to recharge my batteries.

A perfect weekend getaway to sit back and relax. The views are indescribable and alone are worth the price to stay. The history of the hotel which is well preserved instills little lessons throughout your stay. From the moment you walk up you feel like you are somewhere special. The restaurant options, spa, pool, market and terrace bar make it easy to stay on property for days while still having many options. In addition this hotel is just a short drive from the Biltmore and downtown making everything Asheville has to offer accessible. I plan to travel back time and time again.

We stayed for just one night, but will be coming back for a longer stay in the future. Staff was excellent and we'll organized. Hotel is breathtaking and unique. Our room was average sized for a hotel, but meticulously maintained and very comfortable. I can't wait to return with my family for a longer more emersive visit!

It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay. My only regret was that I had not scheduled a longer visit.

Wonderful atmosphere, great wine list, superb service!!
