Bestselling Disney Book Films Trailer at Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville

ASHEVILLE, NC--(Marketwired - Jul 11, 2016) -  A magical forest full of danger, missing children, a grand old home that's as sprawling as it is majestic and one girl named Serafina who can unravel all the mysteries -- such is the beginning of the bestselling book, "Serafina and the Black Cloak" by Robert Beatty. And for the book's legions of young fans, The Kessler Collection's Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville is the only place where the story's second installment, "Serafina and the Twisted Staff," can come to life.

Long regarded as one of the finest luxury hotels in Asheville, North Carolina, Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville combines Tudor-style architecture with boutique amenities. Not only does this enchanting alchemy translate to exceptional stays, it also makes the property an ideal setting in which to film the trailer for "Serafina and the Twisted Staff."

The book is set within the legendary Biltmore Estate, home to the 178,926-sq.-ft., chateau-inspired Biltmore House. The private home is the largest in the country and was built by the Vanderbilt family during the 19^th century.

The hotel's location near the Biltmore Estate, coupled with its own unique architecture, made it a natural choice for filming the trailer. Fans of the book can immerse themselves in Serafina's world when they visit this Asheville boutique hotel. The mysterious stone arches of the hotel's cavernous spaces, the majestic chandeliers over a Bösendorfer piano, the dramatically illuminated Red Stag Grill -- all of these spaces set the stage for a trailer that captures the spine-tingling excitement of the book.

In order to provide a comprehensive "Serafina" experience, the hotel and the author, Robert Beatty also created a room package that includes the following:

• Signed copy of Robert Beatty's new book "Serafina and the Twisted Staff" (beginning on July 12^th)
• Two tickets to the Biltmore Estate
• Gourmet breakfasts for two children (16 and under) in the Red Stag Grill
• Two coupons to enjoy the Serafina Dark Forest Flavor ice cream from The Hop
• Adventure Map - Guide to Serafina's Mountains to help you explore Serafina's world
• Serafina notebook, pin, pen, sticker, tattoo, lollipop, and poster
• 2 tickets to Biltmore Estate (Kids 16 and younger admitted free)

In addition, guests can look forward to a possible book-signing at the hotel as well as a character breakfast to round out the experience.

As details are finalized, readers can watch the trailer for "Serafina and the Twisted Staff" here and sharpen their detective skills in anticipation of a stay that promises to be as exciting as the pages that inspire it.
