Believe the hype

Hands down the most impressive hotel in Asheville. Our suite should have cost two to three times what we paid. The room/furnishings/service were all top notch. I was hesitant to believe all the positive reviews before we booked-believe the hype. This place is a hidden gem.

Great property. A wonderful boutique hotel. Rooms are spacious. With relatively new management there are bugs have to be worked out. The office needs someone available full time. Rooms have a refrigerator but no microwave. The one in the dining area is difficult to operate. The dining area could use better variety of cold cereals and fruit. It is a longish walk from parking lot to rooms but staff is willing to help. We particularly had good service,from Ignes and Jake. We wil, return again.

Incredibly Cool Place To Stay

Zelda is the only place we stay in Asheville. The rooms are cool, the breakfast is excellent, and the staff is wonderful (special shoutout to Jake, who brought us a bottle of whiskey sours for our anniversary. You’re a real one, Jake). Tons of breweries, restaurants, and shopping within walking distance, too. Highly recommend staying here!

We got upgraded due to a mix-up in our room; the property is gorgeous, well-taken care of, and full of little touches that elevate the whole stay. The decor was amazing. I could not get over the wallpaper in our bathroom--so pretty.
