Top 12 Hotels Near Biltmore Estate, North Carolina

While the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC has never been officially named “castle,” it’s one of the few in the U.S. that can be referred to as such. Many come to see the 250-room French chateau-style mansion and estate. It’s so vast it even has its own vineyard along with magnificent gardens spread across its 8,000-acre property. While you may not be able to call it your own, by staying at one of the hotels nearby, you’ll be in a perfect location to visit this American castle nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and get a glimpse of what it might be like to call it home.
