Luxurious, quiet, wonderful service, great bar and terrace… we can’t say enough about Zelda Dearest. Staying there was a welcome break from chain hotels during college touring. We felt pampered and relaxed. Don’t pass this gem up!

We loved our stay at Zelda Dearest! My daughter and I stayed Wednesday to Saturday for a girl’s retreat. The hotel was beautiful, the room spacious and clean, the service great, and the location an easy walk to restaurants and galleries. We loved the friendly atmosphere of the city, the many food options, and the art scene. I definitely recommend this hotel if you are considering a stay in Asheville.

Great property, staff, and location!
Everything from booking to check out was flawless. The property is in a great location, secure, and everything in the room was spotless. The breakfast provided in the morning was another bonus. Even after we checked out, the staff went above and beyond to help us with something we needed assistance with. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Asheville.

Delightful!
We went for a weekend trip. The renovations are well done and the rooms are thoughtfully decorated. Definitely a level of luxury with quality linens, robes, a steamer and good tea and coffee in the rooms. The location is perfect if you plan on wandering around downtown - it is very walkable.

Staff (Erica and Amy) were amazingly friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was huge and beautifully decorated. We felt as if we were staying at a bed and breakfast with lower hotel price. Hotel is walking distance to downtown shops and breweries. Overall, highly recommend!
