Globetrotters in a Mountain Town: Finding Worldly Charm at The Horton Hotel

You’ve hiked the Alps, dined in Parisian bistros, wandered spice markets in Morocco—but when was the last time you watched the sun dip behind the Blue Ridge Mountains with a craft cocktail in hand? For seasoned travelers, Boone, North Carolina might not be the first stop on your passport—but for those in the know, this mountain town offers a refreshing and soulful kind of magic.

At The Horton Hotel, we welcome globetrotters who appreciate the unexpected. The kind of traveler who seeks authenticity, not pretense. Adventure, not routine. Style, not sameness.

Worldly Taste Meets Southern Soul

Step into our lobby and you’ll feel it: an atmosphere that blends boutique luxury with Appalachian warmth. Locally curated design, thoughtful amenities, and a rooftop view that rivals any skyline. Our guests have traveled the world—and tell us often that The Horton feels like a rare find, where global sensibility meets mountain hospitality.

Whether you’re comparing notes from your latest trip to Lisbon or planning a new route through South America, there’s always a conversation to be had and a cocktail to pair it with.

Where Stories Cross Paths

We’ve hosted travelers from all corners—London to Tokyo, Cape Town to Copenhagen—and what they discover in Boone surprises them: art galleries tucked into old brick storefronts, farm-to-table cuisine as refined as any cosmopolitan bistro, and trails that wind through landscapes as majestic as any you’ll find abroad.

At The Horton, the rooftop becomes a crossroads—where accents mingle, stories unfold, and adventure is always around the corner.

Stay Curious, Stay Horton

For globetrotters who crave more than just another hotel stay, we invite you to experience Boone the Horton way:

  • Stylish, intimate rooms with local character and modern comforts.
  • A rooftop bar with international wines, regional spirits, and views you won’t forget.
  • Walkable downtown charm, with cafés, shops, breweries, and live music just steps away.

Because no matter how far you’ve traveled, there’s something special about discovering a place that feels like both a surprise and a homecoming.

Welcome, globetrotters. Boone is calling—and The Horton is waiting with a drink, a view, and a story to share.
