Macon Avenue winds up the mountain with some tight curves, so budget a solid fifteen minutes from downtown even though it looks closer on the map. The 1913 granite lodge sits at the top with free parking for three hours, then it jumps to twenty or thirty bucks if you stay longer.

The Omni Grove Park Inn, perched on the hillside overlooking downtown Asheville, is an iconic mountain resort renowned for its historic architecture and sweeping Blue Ridge views. The Inn offers an impressive array of bars and restaurants, from the elegant Vue 1913 brasserie and steakhouse Sunset Terrace—with locally sourced steaks and seafood—to EDISON’s contemporary kitchen and craft ales bar. Guests and locals alike gather in the Great Hall Bar, which boasts 36-foot stone fireplaces, signature cocktails, live piano music, and an inviting ambiance for conversation or relaxation.

Locals respect Grove Park Inn for its tradition, hospitality, and the mix of upscale and casual eats. Sunset Terrace is a go-to for classic chophouse fare and sky-high outdoor dining, while the Great Hall Bar’s live music and impressive sunsets are legendary for date nights or unwinding with friends. EDISON draws crowds with Asheville craft beers, seasonal cocktails, and the best mountain views for an all-day hangout.
