Boone's Only Historic Boutique Hotel

History Meets Modern Comfort

In the heart of downtown Boone, The Horton Hotel is where historic charm shakes hands with modern flair. As Boone’s very first boutique hotel, we dish out a stay that’s equal parts cozy, stylish, and sprinkled with local flavor. Our 23 rooms are all ready to be a part of your next Boone adventure.

Come for the vibe, stay for the memories.
Our Backstory
our backstory
A building with 100 years of history—and a bold new chapter that
began in 2019.

‍Once Boone’s very first motor bank, The Horton was lovingly transformed into a boutique hotel in 2019, blending historic charm with modern flair. Around here, luxury means different things: maybe it’s squeezing in a sunrise workout… or skipping straight to the rooftop for a handcrafted cocktail. Built on experience, hospitality, and a whole lot of heart, our one-of-a-kind property is made to feel like yours.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

Whatever your style, our team’s got the details handled while you dive into all downtown Boone has to offer. Adventure’s calling — and we’ve got your stay covered!
