I went there with my family over the spring break and it was absoultely gorgeous. Everything was completely classic, like out of an old time movie that Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn would stay at. The ballrooms were overwhelming and the ice cream parlour was convienent for late night cravings! The hot tub was great for meeting new people during the evenings. The grounds were great, palm trees everywhere. Very nice indeed!

I just recently returned from spending the Thanksgiving Holiday at the Belleview Biltmore. I was joined by a group of friends from Europe. We found the hotel to be special treasure. It is full of charm from an era gone by. If you need the sterile amenities of "new" property, then this is not the place for you. But if you are the type of traveler that enjoys sitting on the veranda or taking in an old world spa . . . this is the place for you. The Thanksgiving Buffet was scrumpcious and the next night we greatly enjoyed the Friday night seafood buffet, which was very reasonable and seems to also be a local favorite. Don't miss having cocktails at Sunset at the Cabana Bar . . . soooooooo tranquil after a walk on the beach. I am thankful I go to spend a Thanksgiving there. I hope the grand old hotel survives the move to tear it down and put up yet another concrete box.

My mom and I went on a weekend getaway at the Biltmore over the summer. She'd been before but It was my first time and I found it to be absolutely charming.

The hotel is over 100 years old and is in need of a lot of repair, especially after last year's hurricanes nearly ripped the roof off. But it's charm far outweighs it's flaws.

We got a junior suite on the first floor overlooking the pool. It was only $119 a night.. what a deal!! Nicely decorated, the living room area had huge wrap around bay windows and a plush couch with a huge arm chair. High ceilings, a mini fridge and ceiling fans. The bedroom had a king size bed, desk, nighttables, wardrobe and tv, chest of drawers and more chairs. We had two walk in closets. The bathroom was a little small but considering the period it was built, size was forgivable and it was comfortable enough, with a large window that let lots of light in. Aveda toiletries are awesome!

The restraunt has very good food and the Sunday brunch is wonderful. There is a ice cream shop where you can get pastries, ice cream, snacks, etc. There is also a gift shop, a business center with free use of computers, a hotel museum, and art gallery, a billards room and a pub in the basement.

The spa is great and I really liked the exercise room and indoor pool/huge jacuzzi. The outdoor pool/jacuzzi area is incredible. The pool is HUGE and there is a bar that will serve drinks at your chair. There is also a playground area for the kids.

Overall the grounds and hotel are really beautiful and quite charming. There are so many hidden areas to explore and relax with a good book.

I recommend the hotel tour and I will go back, it's relatively inexpensive for a charming experience.

the first room smelled horrible, the bed was tiny, the bathroom was old, the windows were so dirty you could barely see out of them. when we asked to be switched the next room still smelled horrible and there was mold on the ceiling. when we weren't happy with the second room we asked for our money back, we were told we would be billed for a night anyway and were asked to look at a third room. the final room was renovated and was decent but there were weird bugs stuck to the tiles in the bathroom and the bed was like a rock. overall it was a horrific experience that no traveler who spends good money should go through.
