A wonderful place for a special occasion. This Inn has been visited by Presidents and Celebrities. Beautiful at Christmas or any time of year. Several dining options within the Inn itself overlooking the city. Our place to go for a romantic night out in Asheville! We like the Blue Ridge Dining room which is a buffet style and also the Edison which is more casual.
