With a peaceful location in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Omni Grove Park Inn has become a renowned health and wellness destination for travelers looking for rest and relaxation with its popular spa offerings. This year, The Spa enhanced its wellness offerings with a new partnership with famed luxury skincare line BABOR.
