Hard Summer Rain. Grove Park Inn. Luxury hotel.

“Rain, at times heavy, is expected. Significant rainfall expected through the morning. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue through today before moving out Friday morning.”

Well when it rains, it pours! And when it hits hard on a metal roof nearby, it’s quite dramatic! Glad I’m safe and warm within the confines of the grove Park Inn, one of Asheville’s most storied resort.

In Asheville, the summers are warm and humid, and it can be wet and partly cloudy very often, year round.

Relax in our unique subterranean spa with an indoor pool or enjoy a round of championship golf on our Donald Ross-designed course.
