Abstract:
Recent renovations of the Grove Park Inn in Asheville have once again made it one of the grandest resorts in America. The original structure, built in 1913, became a major retreat for America's elite. A two-million-dollar renovation and a twenty-million-dollar addition of 202 rooms have been completed. While Thomas Wolfe may no longer stroll through its grand hallways, the Grove Park Inn is once again a place of distinction for North Carolina, capturing the charm of the Appalachian area.
