Albemarle Inn - Asheville

A Peaceful Retreat Just Minutes from Asheville's Music Scene

Albemarle Inn - Asheville is a charming, historic bed and breakfast tucked into a quiet corner of town, just a short drive from downtown Asheville’s vibrant concert venues. With its elegant Southern architecture, lush garden setting, and welcoming atmosphere, this 2-star inn provides a cozy, restful stay after a night of music and excitement.
Each room is air-conditioned and features a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms even offer a private balcony to unwind on. There’s also on-site parking and an EV charging station—a rare perk in a historic property.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the peaceful location just under 2 miles from Harrah’s Cherokee Center and other downtown venues. The inn offers a much-needed escape from the post-show buzz, perfect for winding down. With flexible check-in from 3 PM and a laid-back vibe, it’s a great spot to rest up before or after the show. And with packed lunches available, you’ve got your late-night snack or next-day fuel sorted.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a quiet base near the action
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
• Couples pairing a concert with a romantic weekend
• Fans needing a calm, quiet recovery space
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value charm and affordability

Food and Drink Options

The inn doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, but it does offer a delicious breakfast—ideal after a late night out. There’s no on-site bar, but downtown Asheville’s culinary scene is just a short drive away, with plenty of late-night eateries and craft breweries. Packed lunches are also available for those heading off on daytime adventures.

Nightlife Options

While the inn itself is a quiet haven, it's conveniently located near Asheville’s downtown nightlife. You’ll find bars, lounges, and small live music venues just a few minutes away by car or rideshare. It’s the best of both worlds: easy access to the scene without the noise.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the gracious hospitality, immaculate rooms, and the serene, homey atmosphere. Many reviewers love the historic charm and beautifully maintained gardens—ideal for decompressing after a lively show. The location feels tucked away, but still close enough to enjoy Asheville’s cultural and music offerings.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re looking for modern nightlife right on-site, this might not be your top pick. It’s a quiet, residential escape, so those wanting a party atmosphere or walkable bar scene might prefer staying downtown.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a cozy, quiet place to recharge after a show, Albemarle Inn - Asheville hits all the right notes.
