Fodor's Expert Review Albemarle Inn

86 Edgemont Rd., Asheville, North Carolina, 28804, USA

This 1909 Greek Revival home in the upscale Grove Park residential area was home to Hungarian composer Béla Bartók when he wrote his famous Asheville Concerto. You can stay in his room on the third floor, although other rooms with private balconies overlooking lovely gardens or working fireplaces may appeal more to modern Romeos and Juliets.
