Old Edwards Inn and Spa

Named TripAdvisor’s #5 Top Hotel in the U.S. in 2015, this Relais & Châteaux resort sits atop the scenic southwest plateau of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, offering abundant opportunities for relaxation, recreation and adventure. The European style resort cascades along several blocks filled with amenities, music, dining venues and individually appointed guestrooms, suites and cottages. The new Falls Cottages surround a new outdoor amenity terrace with a second heated mineral pool, whirlpool and freestanding double-sided fireplace. Friendly, impeccable service with a backdrop of rustic mountain elegance creates the ideal North Carolina vacation for romance, girlfriend getaways, families, and leisure and business groups. Surrounded by pristine mountains with lakes, streams and waterfalls, Old Edwards is also in the heart of the fun and artsy walking downtown of Highlands, NC. Just step out the front door for live music and theater, great boutique shopping, award-winning dining, museums and galleries.
