Forget Swedish massage, hot tubs or a chocolate on the pillow. The Crowne Plaza Resort wants its guests to really get swept away during their stay in Asheville.

To that end, the resort is partnering with the city-based Adventure America Canopy Tours to build a high-flying zip line this spring on its property. Yet to be officially named, the zip line would be the first within the city limits, according to those in the industry.

“This is good for our guests and good for the whole community,” said Angela Beattie, spokeswoman for Crowne Plaza, adding that the zip line would be open to the public.
