Bottom Line

The four-pearl Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate is a well-designed contemporary hotel that offers the prime advantage of a location right on the Biltmore Estate property. The hotel features a seasonal outdoor pool and fitness center, and the surrounding Antler Hill Village area contains a winery, shopping, farmyard, and outdoor adventure center. A restaurant showcasing seasonal seafood is in the hotel, and several more restaurants are located on the estate. The 209 fresh, contemporary guest rooms all come with 42-inch flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, Keurig coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi, and attractive bathrooms stocked with C.O. Bigelow bath products. Those who want a more affordable hotel, not on the estate, but still a short drive away might consider the Baymont Inn & Suites Asheville/Biltmore, which has a free breakfast and indoor pool, but not as many on-site activities or restaurants.

Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate

Scene

Upscale contemporary decor and a relaxed vibe for families and couples 

Opened in 2015, the Village Hotel is situated in a modern, four-floor building on well-landscaped grounds with trees, flowers, and several patios. Contemporary public spaces make good use of natural materials like wood and stone, and feature fine furniture and big windows to let in natural light. Guests spend much of their time wandering the fields, forests, and gardens on the estate, and engaging in activities like hiking and biking. The hotels draws leisure travelers to wealth of dining and activities and pleasant Biltmore setting. The romantic atmosphere lures couples, while families with kids benefit from the playground, farmyard, and seasonal pool.

Location

In Antler HIll Village on the Biltmore Estate grounds, next to winery and shops

Village Hotel is located a five-minute drive off U.S. Interstate 40, situated in the Antler Hill Village section of the Biltmore Estate property. The village’s winery, playground, outdoor adventure center, and barn are all less than a five-minute walk, and the vast Biltmore Estate can be hiked to in about an hour (guests can also drive there or take the hotel's free shuttle). Venturing outside the estate, the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway is a 10-minute drive, the 19th-century Smith-McDowell House (Asheville’s oldest house) is a 12-minute drive, and the 42-acre Western North Carolina Nature Center zoological park is about 17 minutes by car. The center of Asheville features shopping, dining, galleries, and museums -- it’s a little more than a 15-minute drive, and just north of downtown Asheville is the Montford Area Historic District. North Carolina Arboretum is a 25-minute drive from the hotel, and it takes roughly the same amount to time to reach Asheville Regional Airport.
