That s not to say that the rest of my room, or the Inn itself, wasn t equally breathtaking. My king-

This past weekend I escaped the oppressive heat of central North Carolina and headed maui travel packages up into the mountains on a media tour of Asheville sponsored by the Asheville Convention Visitors Bureau . Over the next few weeks I ll be highlighting some of my favorite moments, meals, and memories of the weekend, maui travel packages but I want to start with some windows; specifically, the windows in Room 528 of the historic main wing of the Grove Park Inn .
The first thing I did upon checking into my room was to fling these windows wide open and take in the view. Original to the almost-100-year-old Inn, the windows were my daily postcard. Every morning I would wake up, open the windows, and spend a few minutes gazing maui travel packages out onto Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
That s not to say that the rest of my room, or the Inn itself, wasn t equally breathtaking. My king-sized maui travel packages bed was the perfect place to unwind after a long and stressful (ha, right) day of eating and drinking. The bathroom was a great escape as well; the tub was deep and inviting and the hammered sink was a thing of beauty.
Now I didn t spend all my time in my room; there was plenty to explore around the Grove Park Inn as well. For starters, a fantastic bistro located on the back porch with a grand view of the mountains and Asheville maui travel packages in the distance. It began pouring shortly after I checked in, but that didn t keep me from wandering.
At almost 100 years old, the Grove Park has hosted its fair share of celebrities and dignitaries. Eleanor Roosevelt, William Jennings Bryan, and Dwight D. Eisenhower have all graced the halls, but they don t impress me. In my opinion you haven t arrived until Barbara Mandrell and Richard Simmons have stayed in your hotel.
In all honesty though, the Grove Park Inn was one of the most incredible hotels at which I have ever had the privilege of staying. It s got everything history, luxury, charm, amenities, and an incredible staff.  I was consistently impressed with the quality of service shown to guests, and I would highly recommend the Grove Park to anyone looking for a special getaway in the mountains.
