Princess Anne Hotel

Asheville, North Carolina.

Built in 1922 and recently renovated, the Princess Anne Hotel is an historic boutique inn located just minutes to attractions such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Biltmore Estate, and downtown Asheville.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Princess Anne Hotel maintains an enviable location in the Chestnut Hill National Historic District of Asheville, North Carolina. The inn is situated on a quiet residential street within walking distance to downtown and is just minutes by car to the Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Pisgah National Forest.

The hotel was built by the father of Johnny Mercer (writer of the classic melody "Moon River") for Miss Anne O'Connell, a charismatic nurse at a nearby tuberculosis clinic. The three-story shingle-style hotel was completed in January 1924 and recently renovated. Over the years, the hotel has been utilized as a hospital, retirement home, training facility, and an apartment building.

Today the owner and innkeeper, Howard Stafford, an award winning preservationist, has lovingly restored this building. The hotel still retains its original ambiance and charm, with modern amenities available to create a memorable stay.

Each floor is equipped with a coin washer and dryer for our guests who wish to have an extended stay. Breakfast is included with your reservation, as well as complimentary afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres which are served daily.
