LOCAL AREA

Asheville has been coined “Beer City USA.” Visit microbreweries within walking distance of each other in the South Slope Brewery District or check out bigger names like Highland Brewing. Head to downtown Asheville for mouthwatering and creative dishes, local art galleries, and one-of-a-kind shops.

Minutes from the hotel, explore the stunning Biltmore Estate, its rich history, lovely gardens, and myriad of nearby shops and restaurants. Next, discover the Glass Conservatory with exotic tropical displays and walk the NC Arboretum filled with beautiful green spaces dotted with diverse plants.

If you enjoy the outdoors, you must drive the Blue Ridge Parkway for hiking, fishing, beautiful waterfalls, and lookout stops with the captivating blue mist that gave them their name. Visit Great Smoky Mountains National Park and feel the majesty of the storied mountains at the most visited national park in the country.

Start your day early in the hiking trails and other busy outdoor activities to avoid the largest crowds. Also, if you are planning to make reservations for dinner at a downtown restaurant, make sure to book in advance as tables can fill up quickly.
