Truly a gem - We will be back

This place is absolutely a beautiful place, which is renovated with the finest details in respect for the old building. The staff was super friendly, and our room was perfect in all aspects👌 If going to Asheville, don’t hesitate to book this, you won’t regret.

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 .

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.
Dawn, 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.
Margaret, 1-night trip
