(4.5 stars) A boutique hotel/B&B hybrid in a 1920s building listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Princess Anne Hotel is about as far away as you can get (literally and figuratively) from a just-off-the-highway hospitality chain. The location is close enough to downtown so that you can still find food in walking distance yet far enough removed from the noise to give you a bit of quiet. Unlike a downtown hotel, you also don't have to pay through the nose for parking. Staff are pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. The porch and patio areas make for relaxing outdoor spaces. The Princess Anne is an old building and though generally well-maintained, isn't immune to the occasional odd creak. Our room was, overall, fairly spacious (it included a kitchenette and dining/TV area), the bed was comfortable, and everything worked as it should. That said, the bathroom was tiny, even with the sink located in a different room. If you can abide by its quirks, the Princess Anne offers character, comfort, and charm, all at a fairly good value. read more

When we were planning our visit to Asheville, I suggested to the travel planner (i.e. my wife) that we should stay somewhere different (nicer, more unique) than our usual Holiday inn Express type lodgings. My wife found the Princess Anne Hotel which dates to the early 1920's. One of the sayings on their website was "the luxury of a BnB with the privacy of a hotel". We went all out and reserved one of their 3-room "Master Suite". We ended up with THREE, VERY SPACIOUS and well appointed rooms. The bedroom included a king-size bed with a large flat screen TV attached bed; the kiving room included a sofa bed, upolstered chair and another large flat screen TV. The final room was dining area - complete with a dinig table, four dining chairs, two upholsted chairs and a kirchenette with a 2-burner stovee, a frg amd a microwave. The package my wife booked included an afternoon (5-6p) reception with a complimentary glass of wine or beer (addional glasses could be purchased) and a charcuterie board. You could enjoy your wine and charcuterie in their lounge area, on one of their porches (our choice) or back in your room. THe package also included breakfast which was served in the dining room. There was a breakfast "special of the day" or you could order from the menu. ALL of the staff - from the front desk personell to the servers in the dining room - was great. Great southern hospitality - always cheerful. This truly was a 5-STAR experience. read more

I booked a stay at the Princess Anne Hotel in June for my surprise engagement trip in December. Unfortunately, Asheville was devastated by a hurricane in early October, leaving key areas--including my planned engagement site--inaccessible or unrecognizable. I reached out to the hotel on October 1 to check on their status and explore options, but was told to contact my booking site or to email back if I booked directly on their website (which I had, and subsequently did). Despite following up on October 7 and again on October 23, I only received a reply a month later (November 4th), after I had already been forced to make alternative arrangements and cancel all plans in Asheville (L also felt two weeks was an apt amount of time for them to respond following my final message on October 23rd, and left me very little time to proceed with alternative plans for the engagement). When the hotel did finally respond, they refused to negotiate any refund, citing a non-refundable policy. I pointed out that their website states cancellations made more than two weeks before check-in are eligible for refunds, but they cited a conflicting policy buried in the booking email and seemingly nowhere else. I even proposed a fair compromise--a 75% refund to cover their potential rebooking costs--in order to quickly move past this, but they flatly refused, offering only a stay credit, which is useless to me given the circumstances. This entire experience has been unnecessarily stressful and upsetting. When the hurricane hit, I was already dealing with the heartbreak of re-planning my perfect proposal from scratch in a new location, as well as tying up loose ends in Asheville. Now, in the week leading up to my engagement, I find myself still fighting with my credit card company to respond to Princess Anne's dispute of my chargeback request. Their lack of compassion has made an already difficult process exponentially harder. What makes this worse is that every other merchant involved in my trip--American Airlines, the Biltmore, my photographer, and others--immediately offered full refunds without hesitation, and showed such wonderful understanding and empathy in my communications with them. The Princess Anne Hotel's slow communication, refusal to compromise, and rigid stance during a natural disaster has been deeply disappointing. I urge anyone considering this hotel to think twice if you value fairness, compassion, and good customer service. I will update my review with necessary documentation should management respond in a way that attempts to misrepresent the situation. read more

All staff we encountered were very accommodating and friendly. The rooms we had were clean and well appointed. We were very pleased with our rooms. What we were not pleased about was not being told when we made the reservation or prior to check in that the elevator was out of order and had been out since hurricane Helene which was Sept of 2024, this is now May, 2025. The desk clerk helped with our bags upon check in, but no one was on duty when we checked out. An elderly guest and three flights of stairs does not make for a glowing review. It is also a potential fall and broken hip or leg. You should warn your guests when reservations are made, not upon check in. read more

Very cute. Parking a little of a challenge, it's in the back and there is no entry that way. May be easier to park in the street near the front of there is a spot. It's beautiful inside. They have a breakfast and afternoon happy hour they offer. I did not participate in either. Masks seem optional, unfortunate. Bed was comfortable. Room large. Price reasonable, but I'd probably call and ask if they will match the HotelTonight/Expedia etc price. They probably would. read more

The Princess Anne is an absolute treasure if you're planning an Asheville visit. There is so much character and charm in this historic inn. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Their breakfasts can match any five star restaurant, with the friendliest and most welcoming servers. They have a happy hour for guests, with canapés, cheeses, wine and beer. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend to anyone visiting Asheville. read more

We stayed at this Hotel for Memorial Day weekend in Asheville. It is located in a cute residential area. The hotel has been around for a long time so the house is pretty old and has a lot of the original character. They have a ton of great amenities. They have a complementary breakfast every morning and the menu changes daily (see pictures). They have a complementary wine and hours d'oeuvres happy hour everyday from 4:30-6pm. There are a few covered porches to sit and enjoy the weather and wine. The room we stayed in was pretty large with a small kitchenette and living room with an attached bedroom. The location is walking distance to downtown. It was about a mile walk to get to most of the shops and restaurants we wanted to go to. It is also a quick Uber ride if the weather isn't conducive to walking. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would recommend this place to everyone and I can't wait to go back. read more

Overall: Fantastic. Food: Breakfast and brunch are always delicious. I drive from Richmond, Kentucky just to visit Chef! The ingredients are fresh and local, top notch. I have tried to recreate Chef's oatmeal for years. The Huevos rancheros was perfectly seasoned- the guacamole was amazing. The tofu scramble was incredibly flavorful and the pickled eggs took it a step above. There are plentiful options of coffee and tea to suit every palate. On my final morning, I had the stuffed French toast- phenomenal. Service: The entire staff is outstanding, well beyond five stars. *I cannot recommend staying at the Princess Anne enough. Baked goods in the parlor, daily flavored drinks in the lobby, coffee and tea around the clock, charcuterie and wine in the afternoon- the list goes on and on. Do yourself a favor, get away for awhile! read more

My brother expressed interest in traveling to Asheville for a long weekend and since I'm a fan of trying new places (and had the time to take off), we found ourselves planning a little getaway. I left him in charge of choosing accommodations, and after a little research he chose Princess Anne. This place looked charming enough so I was really pumped to check it out for myself. This hotel has a lot of history. Tucked away amongst a number of homes, the Princess Anne has gone though a number of forms (and owners) throughout its history. Today, it's sort of a boutique hotel mixed with touches of bed and breakfast, filled with history and charm - so much that it's actually on the National Register of Historic Places. As with my other hotel reviews, I'm going to separate this one into pros and cons, so here we go! The biggest pro for me has to be the aesthetics. While I'm normally inclined to contemporary styling, I really appreciate and admire what PA puts out. It really gives off that historic feel with the design, original wood floors, and fixtures. While it's clearly an old building, it's fully modernized and styled to complement the feel. The room size was great - we were in a suite which had a kitchenette, couch, and sitting area in one room followed by a full-sized bedroom. The hotel also offers a lot in terms of amenities. There's a huge lounging area inside as well as two outdoor porches and a pond area where you can sit and relax. I was super impressed with the food offerings they had. Every morning they had complimentary breakfast from 8-9:30 where we were able to choose from a number of selections. Also, from 4:30-6 every day they had hors d'oeuvres and wine. They didn't skimp out either - those hors d'oeuvres were LEGIT and super delicious. All around the hotel and our room there were brochures and binders highlighting local attractions, plus the staff gave us some great recommendations for places to go. As for cons, there really weren't too many. Since it's an old hotel, almost everything squeaked - the floors, the bed, the stairs - so I would say be cognizant of that and expect to hear the occasional sound from your upstairs neighbor. Also, our suite was set up where the shower and toilet were in one room and the sink was in the bedroom. Again, I understand it's an old place, but it was still a minor inconvenience. The location is good, but it's about a 10 minute walk to downtown Asheville so you're not necessarily in the thick of it. I gotta bring it back to the positives to close out this review - and in that case I really need to commend the staff. Everyone was super friendly and really made my stay not only a delight, but an experience; they go the extra mile and it shows. For the price we paid I thought Princess Anne was a really great value, and would definitely return here if I ever found myself in Asheville again - keep up the amazing work! read more

I couldn't find a single thing wrong with this boutique hotel. * It's just outside of the Asheville downtown loop, on a quiet residential street. It's about a 10-minute walk to Pack Square. * We arrived after the happy hour, but long story short the woman running the desk gave us a charcuterie plate and 2 glasses of wine for the room * For some reason we got upgraded to a small suite and it was amazing * The breakfast was great - i got a proper diner style breakfast with eggs and bacon and toast etc and my wife got some oatmeal or grain bowl. * Also yes the cookies and brownies just help yourself. read more

Great value hotel for everything included! Breakfast, evening hors d'oeuvres, and a welcome drink were included in the hotel rate, which was pretty good compare to many Asheville hotels. It's also only a mile from downtown and an easy walk. Parking was great; seemed to be plenty of room on the side of the hotel. The ambiance and decor was quaint and charming. This is definitely an old building so there are creaks when walking. We asked for a third floor room so I'm not sure if the people below us could hear us walking around. We didn't hear any of our neighbors. A very nice amenity was a heater in the bathroom. We visited in April and it was about 30 degrees in the morning so they heater was fantastic after getting out of the shower. We throughly enjoyed the wine and hors d'oeuvres from 5-7 pm. It was quite an impressive spread. My favorite was the cheese and meat plate and the Pinot noir. The front and back porches were nice to sit and relax for a bit. The breakfast was so delicious too! The coffee was roasted locally and had a nice, medium taste. It was nice to have a selection of freshly made menu items. We both had the breakfast tacos, which were delicious and so filling; I couldn't finish it all! Orange juice was also available. From check-in to check-out, our experience was great with very friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. read more

Amazing hotel. Very welcoming, quaint and cute! The breakfast is spectacular and generous. There are delicious desserts left out all day and the happy hour is amazing.

We actually didn't know about this hotel before researching other options after finding out one of our favorite Asheville B&B's was booked when we wanted to come. I'm glad we did because this place is amazing! If you like boutique hotels that are within walking distance of downtown, you've got to check it out. We were very happy with our room, the service, the incredible breakfasts, and the afternoon wine & cheese which they started offering again after a hiatus when we visited in late October 2020. There was contactless check-in and our room keys were waiting for us when we arrived. They had texted us earlier with instructions for the keypad to get into the hotel. They did a magnificent job customizing to my wife's flexitarian diet. Instead of an afternoon cheese plate, they gave us a plate of wonderful crackers, nuts, relish and pickled veggies. My wife mentioned that it was great to see a hotel run by women (the desk clerks, the head chef, the server, etc.). They also let you know that it's not unusual for black bears to be on the property (we saw some rummaging through the trashcans) but they will leave you alone if you leave them alone. There was plenty of sanitizer available and there were always delicious cookies and treats in the lobby. Our room was on the third floor and we took the antique elevator to bring our luggage up but pretty much took the stairs the rest of the time. We also enjoyed the porch area when the weather was nice, and the sitting area with a gas fireplace. Your stay includes breakfast, and they change up their offerings every day for a little variety. Everything we had was gourmet-quality. Highly recommended. read more

Whenever we come to Asheville we stay at this amazing place . The staff is alway so kind. Love that we can bring our dogs there while traveling. Love the rooms with the extra suite . The best part is getting to chose our breakfast every morning . They slide a list of 3-4 choices under our door each morning. Wish I could just order everything listed rather than make a decision. This place is one of the highlights of coming to Asheville read more

Cool historic restaurant/hotel in the heart of Montford. The food is well presented, thoughtful, and delicious. The wine list is very well curated and has a great bottle in every price point. The staff is cheerful, helpful, and really fun. This place is truly a gem and I look forward to warmer weather when I can have a cocktail on the gorgeous porch. read more

Best pert were : Jenny, Carrie and Acorn. Property needs TLC. Basic amenities would be needed, Quality toilet paper, instead of Onion skin, Water in the cooler, New Beds, ceilings repaired, about to collapse, room keys upgraded, breakfasts upgraded, Towels are old and like Sandpaper, Afternoon cheese and wine, is ridiculous ie. Having the front desk clerk have to go back to kitchen to prepare for each guest, rather than just putting out in nice inviting display. Do not use glass for drinking in the rooms. I am a former Hyatt 5 star Executive, and these observations will help you stay competitive. Nice quite residential neighborhood. Very close to downtown town is great. read more

We didn't stay in the PA Hotel, but had a delightful Sunday Brunch this morning. Samantha showed us a few rooms and they look spacious, well decorated and perfect for those out of town guests coming to visit Asheville. Since there is currently no Yelp listing for their restaurant, I'm using this as the review placement... Our brunch was perfect in every way. Friendly, impeccable service; lovely ambiance in classic and grand, turn-of-the-century B & B; easy parking; convenient. Steve is lactose intolerant and we try to be gluten free and Todd the chef was incredibly accommodating to our special needs. We ordered the beet salad which was delicious, colorful and beautifully presented. Todd modified the fried green tomato stack which usually comes with pimento cheese and a side of mac & cheese to a friendly meal for Steve. I had the delicious and abundant eggs benedict. We had almost everything on the menu and took home some sorbet which we just ate and OMG how fantastic was that! Very reasonably priced plus a discount to locals! I don't think we've often been more pleased. Diverse, flavorful, creative and constructed with quality ingredients. Yummy and fun. Can't wait for the next opportunity to have brunch out. It's a hidden Asheville treasure you won't want to miss. Highly recommend. read more

If you don't stay here at least one night, you are really missing out. When they have wine or a happy hour, it's not cheap. It's wonderful they give you a little cheese tray. It's located close enough to things that you can actually walk to it. The people behind the counter could not be nicer and more accommodating. It's just been a fantastic fantastic day. thanks to Jenny behind the counter read more

Charming place, friendly staff, great location and good proper breakfast, unlike some hotels that give you an apple, a cold bagel and a horrible coffee and call it breakfast. Furthermore we were lucky enough to see a family of bears next to the hotel. I am from Miami so that's a big deal for me. read more

Princess Anne Hotel - This was the highlight of my trip - Hotels Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Hidden in Asheville is this beautiful and inviting B&B. The entrance is welcoming with great seating, lush flowers, and a chair swing. Upon entering you are greeted by wonderful front desk staff. The communication was great, with her offering places to eat, shops, and directions to all our interest. The River Arts District is a must see. Have on good shoes cause Asheville is a walk about city for every thing. The elevator is described as and adventure all on its own. It has a gate that closes on its own and will defiantly take you back in time. The room was very clean, spacious, and met all our needs. The furniture was not very comfortable and minimally decorated. Bed was very soft and the claw bathtub did just the trick of soaking those ache feet from walking so much lol! We were not happy with the a/c it just didn't get cool enough for us. They have wine with meat and cheese on the house in the afternoon that hit the spot plus baked goods in the seating area downstairs. Breakfast was fantastic. read more

My man booked a night at Princess Anne for us as a last minute weekend getaway in March 2017. We were very pleased with our brief stay. We arrived in the early afternoon after enjoying a heavy brunch at Posana. We were able to park on the street just steps away from the hotel's front door. The ladies at the front desk were kind and knowledgeable. It's clear that the folks at Princess Anne take a real pride in their work. By the time we took our bags to our room, we were ready for a nap. I remarked upon climbing under the blankets that I've never experienced such a tightly made bed. Those sheets were tucked better than a military barracks at inspection. It's a little touch, but I was impressed. Our room was pleasant. Princess Anne is a somewhat quirky and surely historic building. The sink, for example, is in the bedroom. There is no sink in the bathroom. Not a deal-breaker, by any means, but an interesting plumbing choice. The heating and cooling system is remote-controlled and split into zones. I got a bit overzealous and cranked the heat in our room; it works exceptionally well. After our nap, we headed downstairs to the afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres reception. A table in the entryway boasted several bottles of wine and a carafe of a wonderful pink iced tea. My compliments on this -- as a non-drinker I often feel left out in these environments. The tea was a perfect solution. We made our way into the front room and sampled the appetizers while visiting with a few other couples who were experiencing Asheville for the first time. Overall, the reception was delightful and I'm glad we made the time to attend. After dinner, a movie, and galavanting around town, we returned to Princess Anne quite late. We were given a code to let ourselves in the front door, as it's locked after a certain hour. Exhausted from our day, we collapsed into bed and slept like rocks -- our bed was so comfortable and I wasn't able to hear traffic at all, either cars on the street or people in the hallways. Upon checking out the next day, we were cheerily thanked for our stay. While we had a very quick trip, we enjoyed Princess Anne so much and I'm sure we would stay there again on future trips. I'd especially like to visit when it's warmer so we could enjoy the beautiful porch. If you're looking for comfortable elegance, this hotel is a good choice. If you're going to be bothered by some creaky floors and small televisions, it may not be for you. I look forward to our next stay. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's a bed a breakfast meets hotel meets your own home. It's beautiful and elegant. They offered us a beer, soft drink, or water as soon as we pulled up.

They give you a few items to choose from, and everything is perfectly presented. I'm telling you, Princess Anne when you visit Asheville!

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. read more

I'm sad to say that I would not recommend staying at Princess Anne. My husband and I were looking forward to our one night stay here as part of our anniversary trip we were on. We had drove from Tennessee that day and were super excited about the complimentary afternoon wine & hor d'oeuvres hour advertised on the website. When we arrived we were hungry and needed a snack to tie us over until dinner and were really looking forward to relaxing with a glass of wine to celebrate. After we checked in and placed our bags in the room we waited in the lobby ever so patiently for the "happy hour" to start but after the time passed and we didn't see anything set up, we made our way to the front desk to ask if it would still be happening. We recieved a quick and unapologetic response that the hotel could not serve food in that manner due to covid restrictions. Now I completely understand that the restrictions were out of their hands but why not just adapt and serve guest packaged snacks and mini bottles of wine? I would have been happy with just a pack of crackers and one little mini bottle of wine. Regardless, we were disappointed because it was one of the big highlights on the hotel website when you book your room so we were misled by the false advertisement. Still in high spirits after we learned about the happy hour being cancelled we decided to grab a package of little cookies offered at the check in table. We were super grateful and excited that we at least had these to help our hunger as we were getting ready to head out for our own beverage and hor d'oeuvers hour. We unwrapped what looked like fresh from the oven oatmeal cranberry cookies with excitement. However when we tasted them they were dry, hard, and underwhelming. However, we ate them and our stomachs appreciated the snack. After eating the cookies we made our way back up to our room where I decided to sit on the couch and read one of the magazines on the coffee table. As soon as I reached for the magazine I noticed a spread of crumbs on the table and a large pice of what looked like a cookie on the floor. (The guest before must have enjoyed the cookies more than we did). The crumbs really didn't bother me but I was more worried about how well the room was cleaned after seeing them. I went down to the front desk and explained the situation and we were just switched to another room. I appreciated the quick room swap but I had to do a look around in the new one just to be sure there were no cookie monster crumbs in this one. We enjoyed our night out in downtown but when we came back to the hotel we tried our best to quiety make our way up to our room. However, the floor was so creaky and loud that we felt like we woke everyone up. I guess that comes with the historical charm of the place. We really wanted to enjoy our time here because of how beautiful it was, but we sadly left very disappointed. read more

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! read more

We arrived late on a Sunday night. The room was staged nicely with wine and a fabulous chateurie board. It was when I laid face down on the carpet next to the bed looking for an "outlet" that I realized the last dog in the room obviously scrubbed himself there. At this juncture we aren't going to complain (they were gone home anyway). The morning brought a wonderful breakfast, made to order. Excellent. We walked around the "property" (i.e. the house) and found a dismantled roman bird bath in the"cement pond". It undoubtedly was a signature piece 50 years ago. Eventually we settled in to our "suite" and started looking a little closer. Turns out the carpet encounter wasn't an isolated incident. All three rooms in the suite have carpeting that was probably nice when new, but that has to be 20+ years ago (being so nice I can't stand it). The clincher was the splattered zit on the full length mirror in the bathroom. (JSYK: we have pictures). This has us backing off giving, the Princess Anne a 5 star review. In fairness, they put a disclaimer in their retro photo album which covers the history of the property and suggests that the guest contact the management directly. We did not complain. We have no axe to grind. The staff is wonderful. Just be prepared to experience a work in progress. read more

great place, had good breakfast and evening snacks. Loved the variety almost everything was chefs quality. Room was comfortable but floors were noisy with uneven wooden flooring.

Very friendly staff, and Management. They carry an assortment of specialty wines, cheeses, and meats. That pair together perfectly.

Review of the restaurant only! Our party of six came in tonight for dinner after reading some positive reviews. Chef Ritter is very talented. The food: our meal started with an amuse bouche of a cauliflower soup (outstanding). We ordered alligator boudin and prosciutto wrapped peaches. (Both good, but I think the boudin beat out the peaches for flavor.). Next we split a beet salad, (even my wife who hates beets loved it). Our entrees were wild boar ribs, seafood pastalaya, and a special of lemon ricotta raviolo with vodka sauce and a seafood cake. Everyone loved their entree, but the seafood pastalaya and wild boar were standouts. A wedge of crusty bread would have catapulted the pastalaya from great to epic. The wild boar is perfect. I mean it. Perfect! Every single element was ridiculous good. I shared with the rest of the table and everyone agreed. They offered a nice selection of desserts and a couple of us went for the maple bourbon pecan pie, which was also stunningly good. The wine list is very short, but the pinot we had was quite good. The atmosphere: The space is a little open and bright, we actually asked them to dim the light down after a while since we wound up as the last table. Much better with the lights down a bit. It wouldn't take much to create a space with some screens or barriers that would really make for an intimate dinner. There were 4 or 5 parties when we arrived, but noise level was very low, easy to talk. The service: Service was good, but you can tell they're still getting used to running a dinner service. Our waitress was on top of it for clearing plates and followed proper protocol for silverware replacement, not putting dirty forks on the table. Chef Ritter definitely seems to be a rising star. You should give it a try, and right now, you'll be getting in without the crazy crowds Asheville has at every restaurant. Just check it out on opentable. read more

I'm shocked by the positive reviews because this was hands down one of the worst overnight experiences I've had in awhile.
