The Horton Hotel - A boutique downtown Boone hotel with rooftop lounge and mountain views
Located across from Mast General Store in downtown Boone, The Horton Hotel features 15 uniquely decorated guest rooms with distinctive decor and modern amenities. This Boone hotel offers both king and queen bed accommodations, including pet-friendly rooms on the lower level. Guests enjoy complimentary breakfast featuring local roastery coffee, fresh pastries, and granola from 7-10 AM daily. The rooftop lounge provides 360-degree views of Howard's Knob, Appalachian State campus, and downtown, serving craft cocktails and artisanal wines (closed November-April based on weather). The property includes a lobby lounge with handcrafted beverages and a welcoming atmosphere blending modern and rustic elements. Within walking distance are restaurants, shops, and Appalachian State University campus buildings. The Horton sits 0.3 miles from multiple dining options including Lost Province Brewing Co and Melanie's Food Fantasy.
Pros
Historic 1920s building with preserved architectural details and original photographs on display
Pet-friendly rooms available with specialized housekeeping service
Live rooftop camera feed displayed in windowless rooms
24/7 security cameras and secured exterior doors at night
Cons
Seasonal rooftop bar closure from November to April
Limited on-site dining with only light bar snacks available
“This hotel presents a modern-rustic ambiance and exceptionally comfortable top-floor suites, appealing given its prime downtown location; its rooftop bar is a definitive highlight. While some past service inconsistencies merit attention, the overall charm and lack of disruptive noise make it a worthy consideration. It's a solid choice with some provisos.”
