My husband, mother and I spent a weekend at the Inn on Biltmore Estate in January. Having stayed at the Grove Park Inn previously, we were looking forward to a new experience in Asheville. The Inn on Biltmore is a lovely hotel with a more peaceful vibe than the Grove Park. It feels more intimate and updated, and I think there were fewer children than we experienced at the Grove Park. The room we stayed in was generous in size and had a lovely view of the mountains. The bathroom was very well appointed and clean. My mother's room was equally nice. One slightly negative thing that we all noticed was that the TV had very few channels, and the volume was quite loud each time you turned it on. We ate in the Library for dinner and the larger restaurant on the lower floor for breakfast. Both were very nice, with excellent service and food. Being able to use the Inn's shuttle to get around the Biltmore property is a huge perk, which I feel is worth quite a bit in terms of convenience and reduced wear and tear on you. The weekend we were there was rainy and cool, and it was especially appreciated. My husband and I went to the spa (he for a massage and me for a facial). He was quite happy with his massage. I was not very satisfied with my facial (so superficial that I didn't have a "glow" for even 5 minutes after I left the spa). I would return to the Inn on Biltmore, but I would not return to the spa for a facial. All of the personnel that we encountered at the Inn were well trained and went out of their way to accommodate us. One final thing: One night that we were in Asheville, we ate at Frankie Bones and enjoyed it very much. If you decide to leave the property to eat, I would recommend this restaurant.
Room Tip: Ask for a high floor, facing the mountains.
