ASHEVILLE, NC (Jan. 8, 2004) – While people across the country are making resolutions for the new year to lose weight, be happy or save money, Asheville area hotels are offering an easy way to do all three. Surrounded by the highest peaks in the Eastern U.S., Asheville embraces travelers in 2004 with money-saving packages, peel-off-the-pounds outdoor activities and boundless fun.
New “Three-For-Two” packages are available now through March 25, 2004. By visiting www.exploreasheville.com, guests can purchase a room for two mid-week nights (Sun.–Thurs.) and get the third night free. Some packages come fully equipped with a hot country breakfast, massages or tickets to an area attraction, starting at $99 for two nights.
On the site, visitors can quickly and easily compare features and prices, culling from a comprehensive database of packages. Following the holidays, the first six weeks of the year are typically less-crowded throughout the mountains. That means easier reservations at restaurants, discounted rates to attraction sites and shorter lift lines at area ski resorts.
While the highest mountain peaks receive enough snow for outdoor fun, down below in Asheville, travel is easy with little or no snow on the ground. After a day on the slopes, visitors can cozy up in a quaint coffee house, take in a theatrical performance, or just relax at one of the many romantic bed & breakfasts or hotels.
Here’s a sampling of other post-holiday travel deals in the Asheville area:
Round up a few fellow frazzled girlfriends for a getaway designed to leave you relaxed and recharged. This package includes two nights accommodations, breakfast daily, one dinner, two coupons for a glass of wine, special discounts for a fun shopping spree, a cozy robe, daytime Estate admission passes and valet parking.
Asheville is just a short scenic drive from the real Cold Mountain and boasts many sites where you can go to walk in the footsteps of Inman and Ada. A variety of packages include a two-night stay, plus amenities such as a copy of the "Cold Mountain" novel, live Appalachian music or a waterproof trail map of Cold Mountain.
Welcomed by champagne and a floral bouquet, guests can escape for two nights to a room with a beautiful mountain view, an ultra-romantic dinner one night and breakfast for two each day.
