The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa

“Omni Grove Park Inn - always Outstanding”

My wife and I travel to Asheville as often as we can, and the centerpriece of all of our stays is the Grove Park Inn. The staff, service, and ambiance are all consistently exceptional and this stay was no exception.

“Nice resort but hard to agree with cost/value”

We had a nice stay, and found the facilities, service, property and view to be very good. There is construction happening as of May 2026 so be alert to that. We booked a Mountain View room at the lower end of their price range. We actually had a “Tree View” of a massive tree 30 feet from our win… more

We had a nice stay, and found the facilities, service, property and view to be very good. There is construction happening as of May 2026 so be alert to that. We booked a Mountain View room at the lower end of their price range. We actually had a “Tree View” of a massive tree 30 feet from our window. You could have a view of the mountains and sunset if you stood at the left side of the windows and looked down the fairway. At these prices we expected an actual Mountain View. The room was comfortable but dated and has seen a lot of use. As an hotel room the Omni is expensive and not a great value, but the price is not out of line for a resort. If your intention is to stay on the property and have a resort experience then I think there is value. If you just want a luxury hotel room you can do much better for a fraction of the price. Also, be sure to look at taxes and fees. You will pay state and county tax on the room as well as the resort services charge. You pay that charge regardless of the services you use. That is about $100 per night on a $500 room. That’s not unique to the Omni but still it adds up. The staff were uniformly professional so I want to be clear that we were treated well. But beyond that the facilities were just not up to the standard considering an entry level room cost the better part of two grand for three nights. That is a lot of expensive ambience

“Beautiful but details matter”

The property itself is beautiful, the service was really good when dealing directly with staff, however at this price point it’s lacking in other areas. Small and large details really make a difference. I’ve got Champion status and reserved 3 rooms. The coffee drop off signs were not picked up … more

The property itself is beautiful, the service was really good when dealing directly with staff, however at this price point it’s lacking in other areas. Small and large details really make a difference. I’ve got Champion status and reserved 3 rooms. The coffee drop off signs were not picked up for 2 rooms one day even though I called that night to remind them. Coffee tray not taken from day before when room was cleaned or from outside the door for a 2nd room when the new coffee was dropped off. The decor and paint in room needs a refresh. Nice robes and I appreciated having 2 luggage racks as that’s rare! Food was pretty good l, but other than Edison it is quite expensive. There are cute restaurants in town that we enjoyed like Chestnut Asheville where we had a great lunch. The spa was fully booked for day passes the entire time we were there, which was disappointing as that’s one of the reasons I booked this property. I called to book about a week in advance. I’d recommend staying mid-week if you can as this hotel draws weddings and conferences, as the common area with big fireplaces to enjoy is packed and super loud with big groups. Sunday night was a welcome more relaxing time. Excellent gym! Views a 10.

Our recent stay at the Omni Grove Park Inn was, overall, an average experience with some clear highlights and a few notable drawbacks. The property itself is undeniably unique, with a historic charm and setting that make it stand out. Our accommodations were comfortable and satisfactory, offering a good balance of character and modern convenience. One of the true bright spots of the trip was the golf experience at the resort course. The staff there were exceptional—kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely accommodating—which made for a very enjoyable and memorable outing. Where the experience fell short, however, was in the food and beverage category—specifically when it came to the balance between cost and quality. Unfortunately, our first evening set the tone. We chose to dine at the resort’s premier restaurant, Sunset Terrace, expecting a standout experience. Instead, our meal for a group of seven—costing nearly $900—took an unusually long time to reach the table. More disappointing was that much of the food arrived at only lukewarm temperature. While we are not the type to complain or send dishes back, the experience led us to make a collective decision not to return to that particular restaurant for the remainder of our four-night stay. On a positive note, we did try several of the other dining options on property, which proved to be significantly better in both service and quality. In summary, the Omni Grove Park Inn offers a distinctive setting, solid accommodations, and excellent golf with outstanding staff. However, the inconsistency in dining—particularly at what is positioned as a flagship restaurant—left something to be desired, especially given the price point. With some improvements in that area, the overall experience could easily move from average to truly exceptional.
