The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa
Asheville, North Carolina
The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa is one of the South's
most venerable and famous grand resorts. Built in 1913 from granite stones
mined from Sunset Mountain, the resort overlooks the Asheville, North Carolina
skyline and provides guests with majestic views of the legendary Blue Ridge
Mountains. For decades, the Inn has been a favorite year-round destination
for both leisure and business guests as the resort continues to lure future
generations to its magical mountainside splendor. Its splendid views, old
world charm, peerless amenities, and a long tradition of exceptional service
and Southern hospitality make it a place to savor as one of the most enduringly
original and exciting resorts in America. BUILDINGS: Guest rooms are located
in the historic Main Inn and in two contemporary wings named the Sammons
Wing and the Vanderbilt Wing. Historic Main Inn Guestrooms are newly refurbished
in 2001 and contain the original solid oak Arts & Crafts-era furnishings
with hand-hammered copper Roycroft drawer pulls. Additional features include
CD stereo players, refigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, iron and ironing
boards, in-room safe, in-room pay movies, cable television, voice mail, data
ports and windows that open for fresh mountain air. Contemporary Wings Guestrooms
are more spacious than those in our historic Main Inn and are furnished with
Arts & Crafts reproduction furnishings. Features include coffee makers,
iron and ironing boards, in-room safe, in-room pay movies, cable television,
voice mail, data ports and windows that open for fresh mountain air.
Recreation abounds, including 6 indoor and outdoor
tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, a sports center with indoor swimming
pool, racquetball court, and fitness equipment, and a new $40 million spa,
which opened early in 2001.
For tennis players the lure is both the setting and those
indoor courts (three of them). Stewart Atkins, who started there as assistant
pro in 1992, is now the tennis director. Out of his long experience there
he has carpentered together a multi-pronged program intended to have something
for everyone.
