Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate Offers Guests a Casual Overnight Stay

ASHEVILLE, N.C. –  Guests to Biltmore House can enjoy a casual overnight stay at Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate, set in the heart of Antler Hill Village. Opened in 2015, the 209-room Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate provides a range of options to guests who want to stay overnight. The Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate is the estate’s second accomdation property, joining The Inn on Biltmore Estate.

A stay at Village Hotel gives guests access to shopping, dining, Biltmore Winery, live music, hiking and biking trails, other outdoor activities and the farmyard – all within short walking distance.

“Village Hotel offers a casual location for our guests to use as a home base for exploring the estate,” says Biltmore Vice President of Lodging Meghan Noel. “I’ve heard our guests describe their time at Village Hotel as feeling like they are relaxing in someone’s home. That’s exactly what we hoped to hear. The design of this property was created with that kind of relaxed experience in mind.”

Natural elements and rustic features were used in the exterior and interior design, inspired by the eclectic mix of cottages and farm homes original to the estate. The first level takes inspiration from a farmhouse while the second level incorporates materials reminiscent of the working aspects of a farm, such as dark wood and leather.

Archival images adorn hotel public areas, telling the story of Biltmore’s agricultural legacy and showing historic estate scenes of the Vanderbilt family enjoying leisure activities.

Each of the hotel’s 209 guest rooms and suites offer a cozy cottage setting with a window seat, 400-thread count linens, a 42-inch LCD-screen TV, refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker and walk-in shower.

Dining at Village Hotel features The Kitchen Cafe, a quick and easy stop for freshly prepared breakfast items and on-the-go lunches and picnics. The Village Social is the hotel’s casual full-service restaurant and bar serving light breakfast, lunch and dinner emphasizing a small plate tasting menu featuring seafood, Biltmore Wines, craft beers and signature cocktails.

Village Hotel stands in an area originally used as a social hub for estate employees who began Biltmore’s tradition of hospitality over a century ago.
