Hotel at a Glance: The Esmeralda Inn & Restaurant
The wooden floor in the lobby of the historic Esmeralda Inn & Restaurant holds a notable distinction: Patrick Swayze danced on it in Dirty Dancing. Established in 1891 and fully renovated in 1997, the inn received the floor as a donation. The property has always had a Hollywood connection: Clark Gable, Mary Pickford, and Gloria Swanson were regular guests here at one time, and several silent movies were filmed on site. Today, the beautifully restored building features an on-site spa tub, a huge stone patio out back, and luxe-rustic decor.
- Start your day with a complimentary hot breakfast.
- Take in the view: On the outdoor patio, you can see the Rocky Broad River, Hickory Nut Gorge, and Chimney Rock while you warm up next to a stone fireplace.
- On-site restaurant: Dine on filet mignon, local trout, and Faroe Island salmon.
- Hang out in the game room: You can shoot billiards or play board games while looking out over the mountains.
- In-room amenities: Plush bathrobes, Bose Wave radios, and free WiFi
Lake Lure, North Carolina: Mountain Country near Chimney Rock and Asheville
Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Lure might seem about as far from Hollywood as you can get. But this little mountain town has an impressive list of onscreen credits—The Last of the Mohicans, Firestarter, and Dirty Dancing were all filmed nearby. It’s not all that strange when you think about it. The area’s lush, towering mountains and dense forests make for a majestic background, whether you’re shooting a movie or taking a relaxing vacation.
The 1,500-acre Lake Lure, which National Geographic called “one of the most beautiful man-made lakes in the world,” attracts visitors year-round with its swimming, sunbathing, fishing, and boating opportunities. Overlooking the lake is Chimney Rock Park, where you can hike the trails or take an elevator ride up 26 stories to a mountaintop lookout point with sweeping views of the landscape. You’ll be less than a 30-minute drive from Asheville, an eclectic city with some of the most unique shops and restaurants in North Carolina.
