Over the years, the ‘Hotel Belleview’ was renamed ‘The Belleview Biltmore Hotel’, ‘The Belleview Mido Hotel’, and most recently, ‘The Belleview Biltmore Resort’.
Regardless which name was used, the hotel offered guests from around the world a remarkable stay from 1897 until she was closed for renovation in 2009.
These photographs offer a glimpse of the interior, but pictures can’t do justice to the beauty, scope and elegance of this magnificent building. Nor can they provide the sensation of walking down a corridor, knowing you are following in the exact footsteps of both famous and common people from several past generations. They can't provide the smell of old wood or the sound of an antique key rattling in a lock. But until the Belleview Biltmore Resort reopens, they are all we have to remind us how much we stand to lose, in the event we fail in our efforts to protect her, and restore her for the benefit of future generations.
These are just a few of the photographs I have taken of the Belleview Biltmore Resort over the years. If you have a few pictures you would like to submit to this collection, please contact me via e-mail.
