Enjoyed the experience in a historic property turned hotel. Well thought out. A few quirks but overall a great stay and convenient to downtown and other great spots in Asheville. Recommend for those looking to get outside the box of hotel stays. Well done.

A Gatsby getaway thanks to Zelda!

A unique and well appointed nod to history! Gorgeous interiors ! Such a great quirky compound of old restored homes. Grab a flapper dress and head to their bar to mingle or get immersed in artwork and decor .

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.

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.
