he Albemarle Inn, a magnificent Greek Revival mansion on nearly an acre of landscaped grounds in the elegant Grove Park district of Asheville, is within walking distance of the Grove Park Inn and minutes to restaurants, galleries and the Biltmore Estate. The Inn was built in 1907 as a private residence by a prominent North Carolina physician. The Albemarle Inn was featured in National Geographic Traveler of March 2001 and is a member of Select Registry, Distinguished Inns of North America, and is an AAA Four Diamond Inn. The Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The main parlor welcomes with the glow of recently restored oak wainscoting and the butterscotch tones of the walls, which rise to eleven-foot ceilings. Dominating the parlor is an intricately carved oak stairway with a unique circular balcony accented by a period crystal chandelier. Guests enjoy morning coffee or tea and the newspaper by the huge Arts and Crafts style fireplace in one of the comfortable seating areas or on the expansive stone veranda overlooking the sweeping front lawn and gardens.

The nine spacious period guestrooms and two suites, offering comfort in an elegant style, are furnished with extra thick mattresses, fine linens and goosedown quilts, fresh flowers and turndown service with handmade chocolates. Each room has a private bath with claw-foot tub and shower, telephone and television. Rooms with a fireplace or whirlpool tub are available.

A sumptuous full gourmet breakfast is served at individual tables, in the dining room by candlelight or on the plant-filled sunporch. Late afternoon refreshments are served on the veranda or in the parlor.
