We absolutely loved Zelda Dearest. This place has quickly become our go-to when we’re in Asheville — the 1920s vibe, the atmosphere, the staff — all of it just works. Breakfast was fantastic and the perfect way to start the morning before heading out to explore downtown. The location is great too, easy walking distance to everything. If you haven’t stayed here yet, you’re missing out. We’ll definitely be back.

Zelda Dearest is the most charming place you can stay in Asheville. A mix of comfort, luxury, and convenience made better by the excellent staff. They remember and treat their returning guests exceptionally well. There’s plenty to explore close by, but this is a wonderful place to enjoy on its own. Slow mornings in the courtyard or starting the evening at Wine & Roses. You leave your stay feeling restored and refreshed, but I’m always terribly sad to check out. No amount of days here is enough!
