The Residences at Biltmore Parnters with Other Local Businesses to Promote Summer Tourism: Asheville Luxury Hotel Designs Packages to Inspire Visitors

An Asheville luxury hotel designs some affordable vacation packages that include entertainment and restaurants to inspire visitors to travel to Asheville this summer.

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) August 12, 2008 -- With the high cost of fuel and the unstable economy, travelers seem reluctant to plan vacations this year, even to a popular destination such as Asheville. While Asheville is still seeing summer tourism business, it is less than in years past. And the local businesses that depend on summer tourism are feeling the pinch.

To combat this, many businesses are running gas card promotions or lowering their rates to drive business. However, one local hotel, The Residences at Biltmore, has decided to design a few all inclusive packages with pricing that makes visitors realize they can have an engaging and exciting mountain vacation without breaking the bank.

The Residences at Biltmore has designed three different packages that appeal to three different target markets to illustrate the value in an Asheville mountain getaway. All packages require guests to stay at least three nights, with the third night being free. They then incorporate admission or gift certificates to area attractions and restaurants. Not only do these packages benefit the hotel, but they also encourage visitors to explore Asheville and spend dollars at other tourism related businesses.

Their "Romance & Celebration Package" is designed for couples that are celebrating a special occasion or are just looking to getaway. In addition to a stay in one of their luxurious One Bedroom Suites, it includes such things as a couples massage, admission to the Biltmore Estate and the Asheville Art Museum, and a gift certificate good at a selection of fine downtown restaurants.
For families, their "Family Adventure Package" is an incredible value. Starting at only $792.00 for a three night stay for a family of four, this package consists of admission to the Biltmore Estate and Chimney Rock Park, the Gray Line Trolley Tour of Asheville and family playtime with pizza and drinks at Asheville's Fun Depot.

They even have a package for those with the spirit of adventure. Their "Explore Adventure Package" is designed for two guests and again involves a three night stay along with admission to the Biltmore Estate and Chimney Rock Park, as well as a whitewater rafting trip with Wildwater Rafting and a dinner gift certificate good at a selection of fine downtown restaurants.

The Residences at Biltmore is committed to providing the highest quality guest service and to offering Asheville vacation packages with extraordinary value. James Gibson, Managing Director, who worked for Ritz Carlton prior to joining The Residences at Biltmore, says, "Asheville is such a vibrant and diverse city. We wanted to partner with local attractions to highlight Asheville's broad range of exciting possibilities and at the same time give value to visitors."

Located at 700 Biltmore Avenue between the Biltmore Village and downtown Asheville, The Residences at Biltmore is the only hotel in Asheville with 24-hour Concierge service. Studio and One Bedroom Suites are currently available for booking with Two and Three Bedroom Suites scheduled for completion in September. They are currently ranked #1 of all Asheville hotels on TripAdvisor.com, an online social media travel network of sites that rank properties and attractions in various locations based on traveler reviews and opinions.
