THE OMNI GROVE PARK INN EXPANDS SPECIAL EVENT SPACE WITH UPGRADED PAVILION COMPLEMENTING RESORT’S HISTORY

The arts & crafts-inspired venue to host corporate and social gatherings beginning late fall 2017

Asheville, N.C. (May 1, 2017) – The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C. is debuting an arts & crafts-inspired Pavilion, providing corporate groups and meetings clientele, as well as social event planners, an exciting new venue housed at the historic North Carolina address. Opening in late fall 2017, the highly-anticipated addition is being designed to better serve guests’ needs and offers breathtaking views of the famed Blue Ridge Mountains, while honoring the style and craftsmanship of the historic Main Inn.

The Pavilion has been thoughtfully designed to showcase The Omni Grove Park Inn’s abundant natural beauty and stunning scenery. Exposed trusses, reclaimed wood and a stacked hearth around the large fireplace will provide a rustic ambiance, while polished concrete flooring and modern technical amenities ensure the Pavilion provides up-to-date conveniences. The structure also features six pairs of picturesque, floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountain range and The Inn’s lush Donald Ross-designed golf course.

Supplementing the Pavilion’s impressive features, The Omni Grove Park Inn’s experienced event staff are expertly trained to coordinate special occasions ranging from large scale events, such as weddings and concerts, to private, intimate happenings, such as wine dinners and historical lectures. Another experiential touch for functions, weddings and family reunions is the event lawn and game area.

The Pavilion will complement The Omni Grove Park Inn’s already impressive function space, adding an additional 3,260 square feet and space for up to 210 guests. The Inn also houses 25 meeting rooms and two ballrooms totaling more than 55,000 square feet.

Nightly rates at the historic mountain retreat start at $249 per night. For more information about events at The Omni Grove Park Inn or to book a reservation, contact (800) 438-5800 or visit www.omnihotels.com/hotels/asheville-grove-park.
