The only lodging in the Old Salem Historic District, the Augustus T. Zevely Inn, on the National Historic Register, has been meticulously and accurately restored to its mid-19th century appearance. Our guests are not just visitors; they are part of a living 18th century restored Moravian town, which maintains the spirit, character and ambiance of its Moravian founders.

Attention to authenticity has been carried out in the furnishings and use of the rooms. The warm and inviting Moravian atmosphere found in Old Salem continues as one enters the Zevely Inn - through the use of only Old Salem Collection furniture, fixtures, accessories, tiles, floor coverings, and window treatments. Inside, a corner fireplace, characteristic of Moravian architecture, graces the parlor where in winter, a wood fire burns and complimentary wine and cheese is served. Throughout the year, the parlor is a gathering place for guests; its comfortable surroundings encouraging conversation and kindling new friendships.

Augustus T. Zevely was a doctor. His office, which had a separate entrance, was across the hall from the parlor. It is now used as a breakfast room where a continental plus breakfast is served during the week and a full breakfast on weekends; fresh fruit, fruit juices, and Moravian baked goods are offered at breakfast. The Moravian pottery used in the breakfast room is by Rowe Pottery Works, Inc. Complimentary wine and cheese may be enjoyed here in the evening. Off the breakfast room is a wet bar where guests can help themselves to ice, ice water, and coffee.

Old Salem is surrounded by the City of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, formed by merger in 1913 of Salem and the new town of Winston. The city forms, with Greensboro and High Point, the "Triad," which has become a center of industry, education, and science for the southeastern United States.
