Stay above it all in downtown Boone.
Downtown Boone has a rhythm all its own, and The Horton Hotel moves to it. Housed in a century-old building and surrounded by mountain views, this intimate stay captures the creative spirit of the High Country. From the rooftop perch above King Street to the artful details inside, every element reflects the charm and character of the town.
Take in the Blue Ridge mountains from the heart of town.
Originally built in the 1920s and lovingly restored, The Horton Hotel channels Boone's creative energy into every corner. From its industrial roots to interiors filled with personality and local pieces, the space blends old and new in style. You can admire original art, sip cocktails on the rooftop, or settle into the fireside lounge for a quiet moment. Step outside, and you're in the heart of King Street. It's an experience that feels as local as it gets, with a skyline.
History below, happy hour above.
Each guestroom is uniquely styled, with handcrafted details, original pieces created by artists from the area, and thoughtful touches like premium bedding, mini fridges, and plush bathrobes. Plus, if you're traveling with your pup, The Horton Hotel offers five dog-friendly rooms on a dedicated floor, each equipped with food and water bowls.
Start your day with a cozy breakfast spread featuring fresh hot coffee from a local roastery, flaky pastries, house-made granola, juice, and more. Later on, head upstairs to the Rooftop Bar, open seasonally, for craft cocktails and regional pours around the fire pit with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Downstairs, the Lobby Lounge Bar offers a quieter spot for drinks and snacks year-round. And with a vibrant mix of restaurants right outside the door, you'll never be far from something delicious.
