Nestled in the heart of downtown Boone, The Horton Hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to connect, unwind, and discover the soul of the High Country. Locally owned and lovingly restored, our boutique hotel is where Appalachian charm meets thoughtful design, with every detail crafted to create an unforgettable guest experience.

Whether you’re here for a mountain getaway, a romantic weekend, or just passing through, The Horton offers something deeper than a destination—it offers a feeling.

A Stay Steeped in Story

The Horton Hotel occupies one of downtown Boone’s most iconic buildings. The space has been reimagined as a 15-room luxury boutique hotel that honors its history while embracing modern mountain style. From the exposed brick walls to the locally curated art, each corner tells a story—and every room feels uniquely personal.

The Rooftop: Boone’s Best View

Our rooftop lounge is a guest favorite and a true gem in the High Country. With panoramic views of downtown Boone and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s the perfect place to unwind with a craft cocktail or local wine. Whether you’re here for sunset or stargazing, there’s simply no better spot to take in the sights and spirit of Boone.

Thoughtful Touches, Elevated Comfort

Every stay includes a curated list of amenities to make you feel at home—and a little pampered:

• Downtown Boone parking included with your stay
  
• Locally inspired breakfast items and roasted coffee
  
• Welcome gift with chocolates and filtered water
  
• Signature cocktail recipe card to take a taste of Horton home
  
• 24-hour tea and coffee service on the Mezzanine
  
• Ultra high-speed WiFi throughout the property
  

From custom robes to plush beds, every element has been chosen with care—because we believe true hospitality is in the details.

In the Heart of It All

Step outside and you’re in the middle of Boone’s vibrant downtown. Stroll to independent shops, breweries, galleries, and Appalachian State University. Hike a nearby trail in the morning, grab lunch at a local café, and return in time for rooftop cocktails before dinner. At The Horton, your car can rest while you explore everything on foot.
