This will help you tailor your itinerary.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in North Carolina?
If you want an outdoor escape, try to book a hotel in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. However, if you want a city base still close to the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville is a good choice for booking a hotel. Also, the city has gained great acclaim for its vibrant arts scene and microbrew culture in recent years. Sports fans will love Charlotte, as you'll find places like the NASCAR Hall of Fame here and games played by the NFL's Carolina Panthers and NBA'S Charlotte Hornets.

The best time to visit depends on your preferences. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds than summer.
