Grand Bohemian Lodge Asheville, Autograph Collection

Far more than a renovation, the property has introduced refined layers of craftsmanship, regional connection, and thoughtful enhancements at every touchpoint. The newly re-envisioned lodge features an expanded Grand Bohemian Gallery, an elevated culinary experience at Red Stag Grill, updated wellness offerings under the renamed Spa at Grand Bohemian, and refreshed and expanded gathering spaces, all underscored by a renewed sense of place and purpose.

Staying true to its original character, the design carefully restores key architectural elements including the intricate carved wood paneling, museum-quality display cases, and a grand stone fireplace in the lobby. A deeper, richer color palette now defines the public spaces, introducing a sense of warmth and quiet luxury that aligns with the Grand Bohemian Lodge brand. Public areas have been revitalized with new furnishings, many of which were custom-made in High Point and Hickory, North Carolina. The check-in area has been reimagined for a more welcoming arrival. An expanded Grand Bohemian Gallery now has cozy seating vignettes, inviting guests to relax and connect. The adjacent Manor House, a 20-room annex, also expands the guest experience with a new 450-square-foot meeting space ideal for private gatherings and exclusive buyouts.

At Red Stag Grill, the on-site game-driven steakhouse featuring elevated Appalachian cuisine, the culinary team has introduced refreshed menus while preserving the restaurant's European hunting lodge-inspired ambiance. Signature offerings include the Elk Carpaccio and Black Forest French Toast Bites with ingredients from North Carolina purveyors such as Carolina Bison, Asheville Tea Company, Coffee Library, and Potential New Boyfriend Ice Cream. A newly expanded wine vault houses over 700 curated bottles, alongside thoughtful touches like tableside martini service and a restored private dining room. The dining room showcases original artwork by local artist Mitch Kolbe, commissioned to capture the spirit of the lodge. Kolbe, whose solo exhibition was interrupted by the hurricane, was commissioned by Diana Kessler to create a seven-piece collection specifically for Red Stag Grill. A visual tribute to resilience, craftsmanship, and the beauty of the surrounding landscape, the stunning diptych showcases a local farm located 10 miles from the property.

The Grand Bohemian Gallery Asheville, the on-site art gallery curated by longtime director Constance Richards, has unveiled a new retail shop alongside a dynamic 2025 collection with pieces reflecting on the past and looking to the future. Featured artists include Mitch Kolbe, Jean Claude Roy, Charles Clara, Susan Spies, and the late Vadim Bora. Many of these artists experienced loss during the storm, and their new work reflects both memory and renewal.
