Amazing property in the heart of Asheville. Staff is super courteous and helpful. The parking makes it easy to get in and out (although we didn't move our vehicle once we arrived.) Breakfast was perfect with some tasty offerings and the cocktail lounge at night was spectacular. At bedtime the room was dark and quiet.

Great boutique hotel in heart of town

We loved our stay at Zelda! The location was perfect for navigating around downtown Asheville. We were within a 5-15 minute walk anywhere we wanted to go. We loved all of the little touches in the room and how nice it was! The room even has a sitting room! We loved the on site bar Wine and Roses. Jake in the bar took excellent care of us and the other guests. He gave us some good recommendations for places to eat. The outdoor area was great for cocktails and catching the sunset. We are planning to come back in a few weeks for my birthday! This is a gem right in the heart of downtown. Don’t skip it!!

Lovely boutique hotel with a classy, art deco vibe. It’s conveniently located—an easy walk to downtown restaurants, shops, breweries, galleries, etc. Staff is attentive and personable, parking is onsite. It’s truly a unique gem in Asheville.

Dearest Place To Stay

Beautiful place. I was late getting there but they had an alternate check in for me set up and had checked with me to make sure all was okay. The breakfast was great, service superb. Local to all things Asheville. Would definitely stay there again.

EXCELLENT! This is my new favorite place in town. It’s an art deco style gorgeously appointed and thoughtful place. The rooms were stunning with massive bathrooms, the staff was beyond helpful, and the three houses that make up the property give it such charm. I wish I could vote this higher.

We had a wonderful stay! This hotel is such a special property. Our room was lovely and we really enjoyed the thoughtful design and style of the place. Being able to walk right across the street to the concert venue was amazing. Customer service was outstanding. Jake was especially helpful and kind, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! The breakfast was tasty too. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave!
