We have used the concierge collection alot over the years and we too are sorry they have cut some of our favorite hotels out. However, one that we liked the best is still avaiable - Grove Park Inn. We have used this 3 times and it was a great experience. Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway are fun. Grove Park is like going back in time. The spa is state of the art if you are into that. We spent alot of time sitting in the lobby area bar and people watched - even though I'm not normally into that it was fun.
