The Spa at Omni Grove Park Inn Celebrates 21st Anniversary

The Omni Grove Park Inn is a historic resort built along the Blue Ridge Mountains, just minutes from downtown Asheville, North Carolina. The founder of The Omni Grove Park Inn, E.W. Grove, a creator of pharmaceutical compounds in the 1890s, took respite at Sunset Mountain to immerse himself in the clean healing mountain air and knew he had to create a health and wellness destination for city dwellers looking for rest, rejuvenation, and healing. The hotel embraced its prominence as a premier destination for well-being since the early 1900s, The Spa at The Omni Grove Park Inn was the first themed spa on the East Coast and is consistently voted as one of the top resort spas in the world.

The Spa focuses on the area’s prominent natural surroundings by bringing the outdoors in with mineral water, natural light and rock formations. The $50 million, 43,000-square-foot subterranean Spa features cavernous rock walls, arches, and tunnels, with numerous water features throughout the facility and 16,000-square-feet of amenity space, and a lap pool blanketed with 6,500 fiber-optic stars and underwater music. Guests can revitalize mind, body and spirit with therapeutic treatments including massage, body and skin therapies; facials; wraps; aromatherapy; and hand and foot rituals, enhanced with essential oils.

The Spa Boutique carries many items for continuing the bliss at home including skin, bath and beauty elixirs and gift ideas from candles to teas, clothing to blankets. The Spa Café is counted among The Omni Grove Park Inn’s many dining destinations, with a menu of house made soups, salads and specialty sandwiches, as well as specially blended fresh juices and smoothies.
