PRINCESS ANNE BOUTIQUE HOTEL, Asheville

The hotel is in a leafy, tree-lined neighborhood of well-maintained private homes, just under 2 km north of downtown Asheville. A 10-minute drive puts you on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Biltmore Estate is 10 km away. Several excellent restaurants and a bakery are within a 5-minute walk: The Chop Shop Butchery (0.5 km), Jettie Rae's Oyster House (0.5 km), City Bakery (0.5 km), and more. The downtown area is about a 25-minute walk or a short shuttle ride, and free private parking with an EV charging station makes car access easy.

Rooms include a sitting area with a sofa or bay window, a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, and a dining table. Bathroom types vary: most suites offer a tiled walk-in shower, while two have a clawfoot tub/shower combo - request your preference when booking. The Master Suite provides a king bed and a pullout sleeper sofa; no rooms have twin or double beds. Climate control includes heating, air conditioning, and a fan. Note that windows can be opened for fresh air, and soundproofing is limited due to original wood floors, so upper-floor noise from footsteps may be audible. Closet space is substantial, and daily housekeeping is provided.

The breakfast menu includes made-to-order dishes such as Belgian waffles with fresh berries and avocado toast, with options for special diets on request. A kids' menu is available. Evening wine and charcuterie boards are offered daily from 4:30-6:00 pm in the lobby, served by front desk staff. The hotel also has a bar and can provide wine/champagne for an additional charge. For additional dining variety, several restaurants and a bakery are within a 5-minute walk.

The fitness room is available for guest use. Massage appointments and spa packages can be arranged through the hotel, and there are day spas (Illusions and Stillpoint Wellness) within a short distance for those seeking broader spa treatments. Outdoor spaces include a garden, picnic area, and outdoor fireplace - ideal for relaxation. The hotel offers free happy hour (wine and charcuterie) and can arrange bar crawls, golf at a nearby course (within 3 km), and hiking off-site.

The hotel provides luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and a concierge service. A shared lounge/TV area is available, and vending machines offer drinks. For families, board games and puzzles are on hand, and pet bowls are provided for the select suites that allow dogs. The property is smoke-free, with key-access security, smoke alarms, and a safe. The elevator is currently out of service, and all rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors - guests with mobility concerns should consider this before booking. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard.
