NEW SPA AMENITIES BUILDING AND POOL ARE THE
LATEST ADDITIONS TO OLD EDWARDS INN AND SPA’S
MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION
-Smoky Mountain Resort extends their offerings
with the launch of three new developments for summer-
July 24, 2007 (Highlands, NC) – The brand new 15,000 square-foot Spa Amenities Building at Old Edwards Inn and Spa not only adds more of the finest treatment rooms and spa services to The Spa’s menu, a new heated outdoor mineral water lap pool is now available for a refreshing dip at this destination resort in beautiful Highlands, North Carolina.
The opening of the new Spa Amenities Building adds more than new treatment rooms. It also includes a Spa Café and a pair of exclusive Luxury Spa Suites. There are also gender-specific locker rooms, steam rooms, mineral whirlpools, a ladies sauna, as well as three alternatives for relaxing between treatments: a spa solarium, a nap-reflection room and expanded Spa Terraces – great for dining al fresco.
But, The Spa Amenities Building isn’t the only new development at Old Edwards Inn and Spa. With increased capacity for guests, meetings and celebrations, the new Lodge at Old Edwards Inn has also opened to add more upscale accommodations at this redesigned, upgraded and extensively renovated property. Together, the new additions are the finishing touches of a $50 million expansion by the Old Edwards Hospitality Group, owners of the Inn and Spa.
“These additions really make Old Edwards Inn and Spa a more comprehensive and luxurious resort,” said Mario Gomes, CEO of the Old Edwards Hospitality Group. “Our guests now have even more opportunities to relax and enjoy our property.”
