The Biltmore Greensboro Hotel is a 26 room boutique hotel, located in the heart of the downtown business district. The building dates back to 1895, originally constructed by Moses Cone for his textile business. Renovated as a hotel in 1920, the Greensboro Hotel was the first hotel in town to offer rooms with private baths, electricity and the citys first unmanned elevator, all at a cost of $2.00 a night. In the early 1960s, the hotel was renovated and reopened as the Greenwich Inn. World renowned interior designer, Otto Zenke, was commissioned to design the look and feel for the hotel. He chose to make use of the buildings turn of the century aesthetics by creating an Old World European feel. The lobby was designed after an English writing room, and a European theme became prevalent throughout the hotel. Ownership transitioned in the early 1990s, at which point the Greenwich Inn became the Biltmore Greensboro Hotel. The name was chosen as a way to pay homage to the original establishment; inclusion of the Biltmore name was intended to help describe the type of ambiance the hotel had to offer. The hotel has been under local ownership since October 2007, and continues to be a strong presence in the heart of downtown to this day.

Classic comfort and hospitality

There are some terrible reviews about this hotel all over the Internet, but they've recently changed management. And it looks like the new management is so much more capable and caring than the old management, so don't let those reviews scare you off! This is a great place to stay! The best thing Biltmore Greensboro has going for it is its location, smack dab in the center of downtown Greensboro, a short walk from many excellent restaurants, pubs, cafes, and shops, not to mention the train station. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful for the most part. They gave us great advice about where to go for our needs, the rooms were spotless, service was top notch, and they were all very professional. My only complaint is that we mentioned that our refrigerator didn't work and that we were having problems with the fan in the room, but the staff didn't do anything about it. That wasn't enough to mar our stay, but it would have been nice to have a working refrigerator, especially since we needed to keep our water bottles cool on such hot days. (We stayed during the summer.) We didn't get to try the complimentary breakfast or wine because there were many restaurants, etc. that we wanted to try in the area instead. But everything looked fine. The WiFi signal was a little weak on the ground floor, but looks like it'd be stronger on the other floors.The hotel also has a computer and printer on the ground floor that you could use at no cost.

Disaster

When I arrived to check-in I was informed that there had been a problem with the reservation and that there was not a room for me. They were no longer using the company that was responsible for making their rooms available on the internet sites.

Charming hotel

Superb location, made all the difference in my trip to be able to walk everywhere. Free parking right across the street. This hotel was so lovely, just beautifully decorated and charmingly furnished. Wines and cheese are served early evening. The breakfast was more than adequate with bakery type pastries/cereals/fresh fruits etc. the only criticism I had, and it's kind of a big one, was my room location. Directly behind the hotel is a bar that can get REALLY loud. My room was the last on the first floor hall before the back door. If you book this hotel, and I would certainly suggest that you do-specifically ask for above the first floor.

Biltmore excellent value.

Feel of a bed and breakfast. Quaint old hotel with creaky wooden floors and vintage furnishings.

My Stay At The Biltmore

The reason for my stay at the Biltmore was to attend my university's homecoming. I loved the great location and the friendly staff. I was not impressed with the decor of the hotel. The bed spread looked faded and dingy, carpet in the closet looked suspect, and the hardwood floors had not been swept and obviously not mopped (cobwebs in the corners, dusty under the bed). Also there is not much privacy. The walls are very thin. I would recommend this hotel if one is looking for close proximity to downtown. I was able to ride my bike or walk to all my events. My overall opinion of the Biltmore is I liked my stay. Would I stay there again? Only if I cannot stay somewhere nicer.

Not very clean!

The Biltmore Hotel, Greensboro, NC definitely needs a new housekeeping staff as well as some upgrade of fixtures, like toilet seat, etc. The carpet of my room was un-vaccuumed, The toilet seat was stained. There was no soap dish for the one and only bar of soap. The tub floor could use a scrub with a little more elbow-grease!! The room seemed much smaller than pictured. Lightbulb out in the chandelier and cob webs still there!
