Best stay in AVL

Amazing place, will definitely return!

Lots of character. Great location in the heart of Asheville if you want to walk to restaurants, etc. The continental breakfast was excellent.

Charming hotel in a convenient location.
Terri, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Zelda Dearest was perfect! It was so stylish and so comfortable. The breakfast was perfect - much better than the sub par hot breakfasts in other hotels. With coffee, fruit, and pastries it was perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the toiletries smelled great. Not to mention that it's just a 2 minute walk from the Orange Peel! I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

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.

My stay at Zelda Dearest was wonderful! From check-in to check-out everything was amazing. The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable and the location was perfect! Close to local attractions and walkable to downtown for shopping and food. I highly recommend staying at this unique hotel.

Zelda Dearest is a gem…beautifully appointed rooms across four Victorian buildings. The staff is superb - attentive and kind. Great location to visit Asheville’s best restaurants, cocktail bars and breweries.

Great Asheville find!

Really cute boutique hotel in a great location close to downtown Asheville and South Slope activities. It was well designed and very charming in a modern/retro way

Amazing staff and breakfast.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Rooms are quiet, well-designed, and beautifully decorated. It’s so unique! Appreciated that I could easily walk to shops and restaurants downtown. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only (negligible) downside was that they were unaware of the VIP benefits I was supposed to have received through my Expedia booking.
Sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Abbey, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the most aesthetically pleasing rooms I have ever stayed in! My kids and husband loved every detail. The staff was very professional and kind.

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!!

We loved the room. It was luxurious, the bed was very comfortable, and it had everything you could wish for. Also within walking distance to downtown.

Garrett, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Don’t hesitate!

Can’t say enough good things. Jake and the rest of the team went above and beyond. Room was amazing, service was amazing, everything was amazing. We’ve been duped by well photographed “boutique” hotels in the past but this place is everything in the pictures and more. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re on the fence.
Zachary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel with multiple house like building. Location is very convenient and you can walk to downtown restaurants
