The Battery Park Hotel is the name given to two hotels in Asheville, North Carolina. The one standing today is 14 stories tall and was built in 1924 by Edwin W. Grove, during a time of increased tourism in the North Carolina mountains. It replaced a Queen Anne style hotel[2] which stood 125 feet tall. The name came from the fact that Confederate forces used the site for batteries of artillery.[3]
