Luxe hotel on Vanderbilt estate w/ fine dining, pool & spa







































"Why is extravagance so alluring? It’s a fair question, especially in earthy Asheville, North Carolina, where tattoos and craft beer are more the norm than 19th-century French Renaissance opulence—with one exception: the Biltmore Estate. George Vanderbilt’s grand 250-room ode to the Gilded Age has remained America’s largest private home and a top state attraction, and The Inn on Biltmore Estate is the ideal way to experience it. With views of the mountains and the estate’s 8,000 acres, the Inn on Biltmore Estate offers luxury hospitality in the vein of the Vanderbilts, but with contemporary amenities and no pretension. Think Gilded Comfort Age. From $350. —Stephanie Hunt" - CNT Editors

"Set on the 8,000-acre estate conceived by a Gilded Age industrialist, this French château–inspired stay offers Old World elegance, exclusive access to expansive grounds after day visitors depart, and eco-conscious operations (nine acres of solar panels offset roughly 20 percent of the estate’s energy use). Guests can unwind at a full-service spa, sip wines from the estate vineyard, swim in a heated outdoor pool with Blue Ridge views, and dine on farm-to-table Southern cuisine in a white-linen dining room; the property is undergoing phased renovations with newly designed rooms already debuting." - Jenn Rice
