In the early morning hours of Hurricane Helene, when floodwaters swept through Biltmore Village, many feared the damage would be irreversible. Among the hardest-hit landmarks was the iconic Grand Bohemian Hotel, a cultural gem known for its immersive art, world-class hospitality, and signature elegance.
.
Fast forward seven months, and that very hotel — now renamed the Grand Bohemian Lodge — has risen from the flood with more beauty and heart than ever.
.
Today, our team stood witness to a full-circle moment. The lobby is alive with art once again. The Red Stag Grill hums with warmth and conversation. And the spirit of this place — curated by Kessler Hospitality, who worked tirelessly to restore every detail — is stronger than ever.
.
We captured footage of the first guest checking in since the storm. And as staff and visitors gathered in gratitude, you could feel it: this wasn’t just a reopening. It was a revival.
.
Asheville has always been known for its resilience. But this — this was a living, breathing reminder that we are not only coming back, we’re coming back brighter.
.
So if you’re planning a visit, stay where the comeback began.
Stay at the Grand Bohemian Lodge. Be part of the story.
