The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa remains one of the world's legendary getaways. Built by hand from native granite boulders, the resort and spa overlook Asheville, North Carolina’s skyline and the majestic Blue Ridge mountains beyond. When it opened in 1913, William Jennings Bryan said it was "built for the ages," and Charles Sammons assured its survival and continued success when he purchased the hotel in 1955.

Under his direction, Sammons Enterprises began an enormous restoration and expansion program. The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa is now a full service resort and conference center. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a member of Historic Hotels of America, the 512-room resort is famous for its year-round activities, its recently renovated Donald Ross-designed 18-hole golf course and its unparalleled full-service spa, opened in 2001. The Spa at The Grove Park Inn Resort is nothing short of extraordinary, as its architecture and treatment packages combine the natural elements of fire, rock, water and light.

Thanks to the ongoing investment and care of Sammons Enterprises and the countless distinguished and attentive employees who have hosted guests through the past 94 years, The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa is sure to remain a pioneer in a class of its own and a true industry-leading business.
