Lantern Lodge (formerly The Residences at Biltmore)

We stayed her in March 2026. It’s an apartment style hotel. We had a one bedroom which was sufficient for our family. The couch in the living room pulls out. The front desk was nice and gave us extra linens and blanket. Honestly, I would not call this a 4 star hotel. More like 3ish. It’s dated and there are issues. I am sure the staff is working hard to keep everything up. We did like the kitchen with the fridge, toaster, and microwave. We were able to make food for kids and house our snacks comfortably. The hotel is also conveniently located 10-20 min from all the activities. The area is pretty run down, likely from that storm in 2024 and is still recovering. Would we stay here again…maybe. The price was more affordable for what we got so we appreciate that aspect. Have fun and enjoy you

This lodge is definitely worth your stay. The amount of space you get (full kitchen, dining area, large living room with gas fireplace, separate bedrooms and baths) is amazing, and the cost is cheaper than area hotels. My 2 BR unit was $129/night. It is not a luxury hotel, so if that is what you are wanting, this may not be the place for you. It is a lodge with sort of log cabin lodge feel and is very quaint. But in saying that, I would say the overall quality for price is better than regular 2 and 3 star hotels (like Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, Holiday Inn, Marriot). The furniture is better quality(more comfy) than basic hotel quality hard couches/chairs; there is granite in the kitchen and baths; and a beautiful stone surround gas fireplace in the living room that was wonderful.

Stayed in the two bedroom. It was more like a nice apartment. One bathroom had a shower with seat and safety bar which was great for my older mother. I’d definitely stay there again. To note, there aren’t many dishes and lots of light from the parking lot in the bedrooms at night.

Positive: The room was big and quite big. Comfortable, we also loved the big shower as we are big people. Negative: The bed could be a little more comfortable

The studio suite was exceptionally clean and had everything I needed. Free parking. Only 2 cons I must mention. They have a restaurant but they don’t serve breakfast. I only stayed overnight so that would have been nice to offer. The other thing is you can really hear the people above you walking. Still the bed was comfortable and I slept fine
