"Best in the South" - Arrington's Inn Traveler Minutes to Biltmore Estate and downtown Asheville Quiet, park-like setting in the historic Grove Park District Experience the Graciousness of the Old South The Albemarle Inn located on 3/4 of an acre, 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 Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was featured in Travel Holiday Magazine and National Geographic Traveler.

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. On the National Register of Historic Places, the inn once hosted the renowned composer, Bela Bartok. Each room pampers guests in the luxurious comfort of period furnishings, fine linens, goosedown quilts, and a private bath with a clawfoot tub and shower combination. 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 sun porch overlooking an English garden.

An Asheville, NC bed and breakfast dedicated to comfort, quality, and gracious relaxation, Cathy and Larry Sklar, innkeepers of the Albemarle Inn, have recreated for their guests a life of gracious comfort rarely found today.

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.

Candlelight and soft music greet Albemarle guests as they come down the grand staircase for breakfast. Larry's fresh brewed coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available for early risers. Guests delight in a cup with the newspaper by the fire or on the veranda. Our chef, Tracie, prepares a gourmet breakfast served amid sunlight and plants on the sun porch or by cozy warmth of the fireplace in the dining room. Individual tables for two or four let guests choose between privacy or the opportunity to chat with fellow guests. Guests choosing to sleep in may request an in-room continental breakfast. Our gourmet bed and breakfast menu varies daily, featuring an assortment of chilled juices, seasonal fruit dishes, gourmet entrees and great teas and our own special blend of coffee (the beans are roasted for us here in Asheville). In addition to serving fresh fruit salad with lime yogurt topped with pecans and grapefruit ambrosia, we feature a number of warm or baked fruit dishes which bring raves from our guests, including poached cinnamon pears and strawberry soup.

Among our guests' favorite entrees are stuffed French toast (topped with orange sauce), homemade ruffled crepes with roasted red bell pepper sauce (featured on the cover of Marquee magazine) and eggs florentine topped with a tomato-basil vinaigrette, made with basil fresh from our own herb garden. And save a little room, we delight in surprising our guests on occasion with a dessert course. Guests love our homemade just-out-of-the-oven lemon tea bread, sour cream raisin muffins and biscotti. Afternoon Refreshments In addition to our delicious gourmet breakfasts, we host a reception each evening. Hors d'oeuvres and seasonal beverages such as hot mulled cider or refreshing iced vanilla-berry tea are offered in our parlor in front of a warm and cozy fireplace. In the summer enjoy your refreshments on the veranda overlooking our beautifully landscaped grounds and award winning English gardens.
