Princess Anne Hotel

Charming place. Huge room and very friendly service. Nice complimentary wine and snacks. Very nice neighborhood that is close to downtown. Very nice breakfast selections. I would highly recommend to singles, couples, and those looking for romantic places to stay.

I was excited to stay here as it is a beautiful and historic building but was turned away at the door. I had a reservation for a suite that included a bedroom, separate living room with a couch and kitchenette for two nights. When we arrived and had a third person with us, the hotel cited the fire code and refused to let us stay but were also unable to issue a refund of what I had already paid (300 $). We had just driven ten hours to get there, had no other arrangements and were subsequently out three hundred dollars. I was visibly upset but they had no problem turning us away, three days after Christmas no less. So much for southern hospitality.

Blissful. Beautiful. Silent at night– great for sleeping. Great food!
Will be back. Huge suites. Short walk to the bars/​restaurants. Amazing staff. Off-​street parking! Charm galore.

What a delightful inn. The rooms and common spaces are lovely. They maintain an historic feel and are comfortable and upscale. The breakfast room is wonderful, as is the meal they provide.
As delightful as the physical spaces are, it’s really the staff and service that make this place stand out. Helpful, warm, friendly, accessible and funny is how I would describe everyone across the board. Every interaction we had was delightful, from discussing hiking recommendations to cocktail chitchat during the wonderful wine and cheese reception.
I am normally leery of the bed and breakfast/​small inn environment, as there are too many times you feel like a guest in a grandparents house, but I wouldn’t stay anyone else in Asheville. The whole experience was simply wonderful.

This was our first time in Asheville and we not only loved the town but thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Princess Anne Hotel. A coworker of my husband’s recommended us staying there and we were so grateful that we did! The Inn not only has the old world charm and atmosphere, but then you get to the beautiful room with the comfortable living area and kitchenette and you know you made the right choice in staying here! The breakfasts are delicious and you have three entrees from which to choose. We made sure we came back to the hotel from wherever we were that day to partake of the wine reception. Five wines, iced tea, lemonade and an entire table of wonderful food is available each day. Our first day there, we made that be our dinner as we ate outside on the beautiful, comfortable porch. I cannot say enough good about this Inn except that we will be back… with friends!

My husband and I had a great 3 nights at the Princess Anne Hotel. It was our first trip to Asheville and we loved everything about it. The staff was extremely helpful in suggesting things for us to do. The breakfast was different each morning and was quite good. We also were back at the hotel one early evening and enjoyed the wine and hors d’ourves. We had a room that was a really nice size, it had a bedroom and living room. We will definitely be back to both Asheville and the Princess Anne Hotel.

The Princess Ann has the benefits of a B&B and a hotel. The privacy you get at a hotel and the comfort, intimacy, and connection you attain at a B&B.
We just returned from our sixth stay here. When you arrive, you are greeted as an old friend or as family. Wine and Hors D’ourves are served every evening in a comfortable setting. The suites have kitchenettes and a sitting area, which makes our stay more comfortable. Room service is not available, but Valet Gourmet is available; it is a terrific service delivering food from over four local restaurants.
The breakfast available every morning is of the quality and variety you would expect in Asheville. Even though there is a $ 4.00 charge included with your room for breakfast, this type of breakfast would cost at least $ 20 for two somewhere else.
The staff is very, very friendly and will go above and beyond what might be expected to make your stay more memorable. Let me share one instance from this trip. After walking most of the day, we were tired and dehydrated. The evening wine and snacks were out; there was wine in various varieties and lemonade and sweetened tea. The receptionist/​concierge/​front desk person, Ashley, overheard me mention to my wife I preferred unsweetened tea. Ashley immediately made a batch of unsweetened tea; when she brought it in, we were running out the door for dinner. Ashley place the iced tea in the refrigerator in our room. These little acts of care and attention have made each of our stays memorable.
The Princess Ann is located in a nice and safe residential area within a comfortable walk to downtown. BTW, do not miss the restaurant scene on Merrimon Avenue, where some of Asheville’s best restaurants are located.

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time in January 2015 for our anniversary. We don’t stay in expensive places much but by the time we left we felt it was literally worth every penny. We loved everything about it SO much we are back 4 months later!
Everything about this place is perfect for a romantic getaway. From 4:30−6pm they have wine and h’orderves which is such a nice touch! You can sit on one of their beautiful porches in the warmer months or in the inside lounge area by the fireplace in the winter. They serve a delicious breakfast each morning in their gorgeous dining room with tasty coffee, juice and a mimosa (on sat/​sun) if you ask ;)
The rooms we have stayed in have a small kitchen and are stocked with coffee, tea and cookware as well as wines and other non-​alcoholic beverages at a small charge. The rooms also have nice shampoo and soaps and a small box of chocolates :) The rooms are clean, classy and comfortable, with a 1920’s-esque charm.
The staff is so nice and helpful which is always a joy. We have gotten lots of advise on where to dine, walk, etc from Jenny and Jennifer.
I love this place so much and my boyfriend and I have decided we are coming back here as much as we can for special occasions even though we live in California.

A charming historic inn with friendly staff and spacious rooms. My wife and I will definitely return in the future

Staying here made our trip to Asheville the special, relaxing retreat it was meant to be. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are amazing, the food was delicious. I loved the jazz playing on the ground floor, where in the morning you could smell the coffee and bacon from the stairwell.
The grounds are beautiful, they have a lot if you need it but street parking is available too. The BnB is easy walking distance to downtown, a café, several pubs and Trader Joes. If you want to see the Biltmore, get your tickets here! You get 2 days for the price of 1.
If you want to make your trip special, this is the place to stay.

Great place! First time to Asheville, and it did not disappoint! Came for a romantic 3 day stay, to visit and propose to my girlfriend at the Biltmore Estate. What a great place to stay! Never stayed in a b&b so were a little worried. Showed up around 5 to check in, there were 2 bottles of wine a red (Malbec) and a white on ice waiting for us. Also a spread of fine cheese, grapes, olives, and a meat tray to snack on by the fireplace… Went to the 3^rd floor and was immediately pleased and surprised by how big the room was. Fridge, stove, microwave and homemade chocolate truffles waiting for us by the bed! Queen size bed, heated bathroom which was great because we went in January, on recorded breaking lows! (0degrees). Everyone at the hotel was great, especially Jennifer! We had a lot of questions about where Togo for certain things, and she had a quick answer for everything. We saw her in the morning each day, met with a pleasant hello, and how was our night and did we sleep good! It was very refreshing.
One of the best parts was also the complimentary breakfast each morning. Always different, always fresh. One day was egg scramble with spinach, cheese bacon and fresh fruit. Then blueberry pancakes, and unlimited coffee, oj, hot tea whatever you want!
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, close to downtown, brewery’s, great restaurants, and some of the best views of the mountains!
Great job to the entire staff, will defiantly return for another visit! Thanks again Jennifer!

Loved this hotel! We booked 5 rooms here for a family gathering and had a perfect time. The service is top notch, rooms large and clean, and delicious breakfast included with stay. There are several sitting areas inside and out of hotel which worked out perfect for us all to get together and hang out. Quick drive or 15 minute scenic walk to downtown. I highly recommend staying here.

Great place to stay in Asheville! Cute place, clean, beautiful rooms, within walking distance of downtown, and always great to support local businesses. The staff are helpful and friendly and there are nice extra touches like truffles and biscotti in the rooms, a wine and hors d’oeuvres hour in the evening, etc. 2 thumbs up!

I searched for B&B’s online for Memorial Day weekend, but wasn’t having any luck so I booked the Princess Anne hotel. What luck! This brought the comforts of a bed and breakfast only in a much larger space and with more to offer.
The friendly staff offered excellent service all weekend long including icing down my bottle of wine for us on the terrace. The rooms were very nice and clean. I especially enjoyed the free afternoon wine and h’orderves on the back veranda and the excellent breakfast.
The price for the room was as low or lower than anything else I could find in Asheville. I would certainly go back to the Princess Anne.

This historic hotel is beautiful, the staff is excellent and friendly, and the breakfasts are insanely great. Pumpkin pancakes and kiwi french toast! My partner and I stayed over Halloween weekend for Moogfest, and couldn’t have had a better time.

Stayed at the Princess Anne Hotel this weekend on my weekend getaway and I was very pleased with the experience they provided. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the bed was super comfy and the food was delicious.
Some of the things that made the Princess Anne so great:
— There were handmade truffles next to the bed — yummy
— Homemade biscotti on the nightstand for your morning coffee.
— Excellent breakfast with fresh orange juice and coffee. The first day we had french toast with bacon and day 2 was a choice of waffles with sausage or yogurt with fresh fruit and granola.
— In the late afternoon they break out the wine, cheese, crackers & sausage in a large sitting room with a fireplace keeping the place cozy.
— It was under a mile from the center of the city which will allow you to walk in as opposed to driving.
What you will not find is a large TV in your room and depending on the room you may not have a bathtub.
I’m coming back for more!
