We loved our stay at Zelda! The location was perfect for navigating around downtown Asheville. We were within a 5-15 minute walk anywhere we wanted to go.
We loved all of the little touches in the room and how nice it was! The room even has a sitting room!
We loved the on site bar Wine and Roses. Jake in the bar took excellent care of us and the other guests. He gave us some good recommendations for places to eat.
The outdoor area was great for cocktails and catching the sunset. We are planning to come back in a few weeks for my birthday! This is a gem right in the heart of downtown. Don’t skip it!!

One of the most aesthetically pleasing rooms I have ever stayed in! My kids and husband loved every detail. The staff was very professional and kind.

Can’t say enough good things. Jake and the rest of the team went above and beyond. Room was amazing, service was amazing, everything was amazing. We’ve been duped by well photographed “boutique” hotels in the past but this place is everything in the pictures and more. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re on the fence.

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.
