The historic Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, has marked its centennial in grand style with a spectacular renovation, rejuvenating its public areas, conference rooms, and guestrooms.

The culmination of this extensive transformation coincided with the resort's centennial celebration in July, providing a fresh and modern look while preserving the establishment's timeless charm.

Among the remarkable changes is the introduction of EDISON, craft ales + kitchen, a pub and restaurant dedicated to local craft beer and Southern comfort food with a contemporary twist. The restaurant, honoring frequent guest Thomas Edison, now offers both indoor and outdoor seating for an enhanced dining experience.

Additionally, a new cocktail terrace has been seamlessly integrated beside the renowned Sunset Terrace, the resort's chophouse, offering extra seating for cocktails and light bites while enjoying breathtaking mountain views.

The Omni Grove Park Inn's lobby has been revitalized with new registration and concierge workstations and meticulously refurbished 36-foot-wide fireplaces, now accompanied by wooden columns handcrafted by the skilled local artist Rob Kleber of Earth in Home.

All 167 guest accommodations in the Vanderbilt Wing, including those on the Club Floor, have received a thoughtful makeover. While preserving the Arts and Crafts design's authenticity, the rooms have been updated with a contemporary and airy color palette, blending the best of the past and present.

Furthermore, the resort's 55,000 square feet of meeting space has been enhanced with new carpeting, technology, and furnishings, providing a perfect backdrop for productive and stylish gatherings. The Country Club's outdoor area has also been expanded, allowing guests to enjoy the scenic surroundings.

To complete this grand renovation, the resort's retail spaces have been tastefully redesigned, ensuring a delightful shopping experience for visitors. The Omni Grove Park Inn's century-long legacy continues to thrive with these exciting updates, promising a splendid experience for all who cross its threshold.
