Zelda Dearest is a gem…beautifully appointed rooms across four Victorian buildings. The staff is superb - attentive and kind. Great location to visit Asheville’s best restaurants, cocktail bars and breweries.

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.

Luxurious, quiet, wonderful service, great bar and terrace… we can’t say enough about Zelda Dearest. Staying there was a welcome break from chain hotels during college touring. We felt pampered and relaxed. Don’t pass this gem up!
