The Grand Bohemian Lodge Asheville has reopened its doors following an eight-month closure caused by Hurricane Helene, which struck the region in September.
The 104-room property, which is part of The Kessler Collection's portfolio, underwent a major revamp during the pause.
The project preserved many of the hotel's signature architectural features, such as carved wood paneling and the lobby's stone fireplace, while also adding a richer color palette and new furnishings — many custom-made in North Carolina — to its public spaces.
Additionally, the property has expanded its Grand Bohemian Gallery art space as well as reimagined its check-in area to create what the hotel describes as "a more welcoming arrival" area. A 450-square-foot meetings space has also been added to the lodge's adjacent 20-room Manor House annex.
The property's Red Stag Grill restaurant has similarly received updates, including refreshed menus, a newly restored private dining room and an expanded wine vault that houses more than 700 bottles. Billed as a "game-driven steakhouse," the restaurant's offerings include dishes like Elk Carpaccio and Black Forest French Toast Bites.
"Our goal wasn't just to restore the property, it was to breathe new life into every corner while preserving the essence that made it so beloved," said Diana Kessler, creative director of The Kessler Collection, in a statement.
Located within Asheville's Historic Biltmore Village, the Grand Bohemian Lodge Asheville is also affiliated with Marriott's Autograph Collection.
