A Place to Live. A Place to Play

As frequent visitors know, downtown Asheville NC is a vibrant and picturesque city nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina. George Vanderbilt put Asheville in the map on Christmas Eve in 1895 when he opened up his home to family and guests from around the world - the largest private house in the country. He created this country retreat to pursue his passion for art, literature, and horticulture that has remained strong in Asheville for over a century.

Many come to Asheville for the abundant natural beauty, friendly atmosphere, beautiful seasons, great weather, year-round outdoor activities, world-class dining and exciting nightlife, including a vibrant local arts and music scene. Steps away from The Asheville Club at 151 is downtown Asheville and the famed Grove Arcade, the hub for all dining, cultural and entertainment venues to make your stay - whether for a long weekend or a few weeks - one to remember.
