Hotel for Bel Chere

We%26#39;re just starting to plan a trip to the Smokies this summer and thought it might be fun to attend Bel Chere since our dates will coincide.

There are 5 of us including a teen, a pre-teen, and a toddler. We were hoping to find a hotel within easy walking distance of the festivities. Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks!

The hotels within walking distance of Bele Chere are limited, but they include Four Points by Sheraton, The Renaissance, Haywood Park hotel are some to choose from. I would personally want to stay a little out of the way from Bele Cher as it can stay noisy until well into the morning. There are numerous shuttles all over town so you wouldn%26#39;t need to hassle with driving or anything. It will be a fun time though and definitely worth a trip.

Thanks so much for your reply, I really appreciate it. Noise isn%26#39;t so much a problem for us (we travel with a sound machine, he he), but with a little one it helps to have a place to go back to for naps that%26#39;s easy to get to.

I%26#39;ll look into your suggestions!

There are free shuttle busses from several locations for Bel Chere, and unless you want to hear the crowds and the bands all day and well into the night, I would stay at a motel near Biltmore Square Mall, SW of downtown, or River Ridge Shopping Center, east of downtown and park for free at either of those locations and ride the free shuttle. There are several motels close to eiathr of those locations.

Alternatively, if you have kids spread from teen to toddler, you might want to stay close to town so your group can split up according to exhaustion factor. Consider one of the B%26amp;B%26#39;s in the Liberty / Chestnut or Montford neighborhoods that are within walking distance to downtown ...they provide a wonderfully relaxing respite from the chaos of Bel Chere. The White Gate Inn is ideally located for this option.

wherever you decide I would start calling and checking on availability NOW. Bele Chere is one of the most popular (mostly) free festivals in the South East so it draws people from NC, SC, TN and GA.
