AAA Four-Diamond establishments are upscale in all areas. The fundamental hallmarks at this level include an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and attention to detail. Lodging ratings include eight different classifications, such as bed and breakfast, hotel, cottage and country inn with four sub classifications such as historic, classic and suite. Restaurants have varying cuisines and ambiances. The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa President & CEO, Craig Madison, accepted the award and thanked the AAA for placing the Inn in such exclusive company. �We are honored to receive the Four Diamond Award, and grateful that the efforts of our staff have been recognized in this fashion,� said Madison. �We are also pleased to be able to offer our guests both Four Diamond accommodations and Horizons, a Four Diamond restaurant.�
The Grove Park Inn was built in 1913 overlooking Asheville's skyline and the Blue Ridge mountains. Architecturally unique, the historic Main Inn is constructed of native granite boulders quarried from nearby mountainsides. On the National Register of Historic Places and a member of Historic Hotels of America, the Inn houses the world's largest collection of Arts & Crafts antiques under its red-tiled roof. Amenities at the 510-room resort include a world-class, 40,000 square foot spa, private Club Floor, century-old, Donald Ross-designed golf course, tennis, swimming, Sports Complex, shops, fine dining and children's programs.
