CITY GUIDE
STAY
While the Grove Park Inn is an obvious choice for drinks with a view , I often recommend The Foundry Hotel downtown and the Grand Bohemian in Biltmore Village for an upscale stay . Both are centrally located and have outstanding dining and lounge areas . For a different experience , many local Airbnb hosts go out of their way to provide travelers with a uniquely Asheville experience . You will often find local craft beer in the fridge and Poppy ’ s Popcorn in your welcome basket !
Omni Grove Park Inn A favorite since 1913 , this historic hotel provides scenic views , several dining options , golf , a subterranean spa , and more . Known for its distinctive stone architecture , the hotel also hosts a national gingerbread house competition during the holidays .
