The Biltmore was struggling with less than 50% occupancy.  Jim and Marilyn Palazzo are wagering that significant capital improvements can turn the 80-bed facility around.  Read about their plans here.

From the article by Melissa Westphal on RRStar.com:

The Palazzos are pumping about $3.5 million into renovating the building. That money will pay for bigger, more modern rooms with flat-screen TVs and new beds, a restaurant that will serve gourmet meals, new bathrooms with Kohler fixtures and earth-tone decor, a new therapy wing and a spa that will offer massages, manicures and pedicures.

“We know it’s not home for people, but we want it to feel like a close second,” Palazzo said.

The Biltmore name will vanish and the facility will be known as the Homebridge Center, a nod to the efforts of getting people back to the comfort of their homes after treatment.
