Escape to a Historic Four-Diamond Mountain Resort
It all began with an elixir. Developed as a preventative for malaria, Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic made its creator, E.W. Grove, both wealthy and nationally renowned.
The tonic is largely forgotten today, yet it allowed Grove to forge a more lasting legacy: a place of rest, relaxation and renewal in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. Built from a sketch by Grove's son-in-law, Fred Seely, The Grove Park Inn opened in 1913 to instant acclaim, with Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan declaring it "built for the ages.”
The Inn has remained dedicated to providing its guests with respite from the outside world for over 100 years. From the striking native granite exterior to the Roycroft chandeliers in the Great Hall, rich history is built into every inch of the resort.
Grove's vision of a place of rest and comfort continues to evolve to serve a modern audience and now his Inn remains one of America's most beloved destinations, The Omni Grove Park Inn.
