Lodging at the Albemarle Inn

The Albemarle Inn, a magnificently restored 1907 Greek Revival mansion, tops every list of Asheville, North Carolina inns. Located in park-like grounds in the famed Grove Park district, the Asheville bed and breakfast offers ten elegant rooms and a spacious two-room suite with an enclosed sun porch. Each room pampers guests in the luxurious comfort of period furnishings, fine linens, goosedown quilts, and a private bath with a clawfoot tub. The formal parlor includes a blazing fireplace, fine antiques and carpets surrounded by original oak wainscoting, and a sweeping staircase leading to guest rooms. Gourmet breakfasts graced with crisp linen and gleaming silver are served each morning in the candlelit dining room or the warm, light-filled sunporch overlooking an English garden.

Cathy and Larry Sklar, innkeepers of the Albemarle Inn, have recreated for their guests a life of gracious comfort rarely found today. Sip morning coffee, tea, or chocolate in the privacy of the Sunrise Suite’s enclosed porch. Take an evening stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens. Relax in the quiet elegance of the downstairs parlor, and return to the quiet calm of Bartok’s Retreat after visiting the area’s superb attractions. Whatever your dream, you’ll find the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, relaxed vacation, or retreat from a busy schedule with these Asheville bed and breakfast inkeepers.
