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.

The only Asheville bed & breakfast holding the coveted AAA Four-Diamond rating, the Albemarle Inn ranks with the world-famous Grove Park Inn and the Inn on Biltmore Estate for quality, service, and hospitality. The Albemarle is also the only Asheville bed and breakfast among Top 10 Inns listing of the best inns in North Carolina.
