My stay at Zelda Dearest was wonderful! From check-in to check-out everything was amazing. The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable and the location was perfect! Close to local attractions and walkable to downtown for shopping and food. I highly recommend staying at this unique hotel.

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!

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.
