Fantastic Boutique Hotel

Absolutely wonderful! From the service, to the well thought out design, to the delicious breakfast, this place is a gem. The location is fantastic — a minute walk to The Orange Peel, nothing like being able to see a concert and not have to worry about fighting traffic, and the proximity to all the restaurant and shopping can’t be beat. Our room was well appointed and we barely heard any of the other guests, we slept soundly. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Zelda Dearest! My daughter and I stayed Wednesday to Saturday for a girl’s retreat. The hotel was beautiful, the room spacious and clean, the service great, and the location an easy walk to restaurants and galleries. We loved the friendly atmosphere of the city, the many food options, and the art scene. I definitely recommend this hotel if you are considering a stay in Asheville.

Stylish hotel with wonderful service

Not only was this hotel gorgeous and so beautifully decorated, the service was genuinely lovely. I had a lot of trouble getting there after multiple delayed flights and they were very flexible with my reservation and when I arrived I found they had upgraded my room to an incredible suite. The suite was very large and very comfort has been considered. The bar area if beautiful as well. I also had to leave very early in the morning to make a flight and missed breakfast service. They were kind enough to pack up a breakfast bag for me to take with me. That's wonderful service. I will definitely be back.

Great property, staff, and location!

Everything from booking to check out was flawless. The property is in a great location, secure, and everything in the room was spotless. The breakfast provided in the morning was another bonus. Even after we checked out, the staff went above and beyond to help us with something we needed assistance with. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Asheville.

Great renovation in an excellent location!

I took my boyfriend here for a birthday weekend. I love the renovation of these older homes and found our room to be lacking in nothing - I reserved the Magnolia with a soaking tub. The finish levels are very nice and our room quite large. The location in Asheville is excellent and I really liked that it's a smaller property compared to some of the other places around. I think the only negative I could say is that the location of our particular room within the hotel was at the top of the stairs to the main level so we heard folks both downstairs at the bar - not very often - and as they would walk through the hall from other rooms above us or on the same level. But I reserved a very specific room so there may have not been others to choose from. Overall a great stay and everyone was very nice. Bed was super comfy and soaking tub A+ after walking all over Asheville!

New art deco style hotel in a number of separate units. Absolutely pristine with great service, great room furnishings, very clean, great continental breakfast, cool little bar and excellent location.

Perfection! Thank you to Lark Hospitality for giving these properties new life. The restoration is flawless and the rooms are gorgeous. The location is perfect - adjacent to the South Slope and just downhill from the heart of downtown Asheville. These magnificent homes could have easily been torn down to make room for condos or a modern hotel. Instead, they’ve been preserved and renewed for travelers to enjoy. Breakfast was easy, fast and delicious, parking was FREE, and the staff was super friendly. 10 out of 10. No notes!!!! My only request is to keep your rates affordable. Asheville is becoming too expensive for the average person to enjoy. Your reasonable rates made a great night possible. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
