Fodor's Expert Review The Horton Hotel

Billed as Boone's only boutique hotel (for now), the Horton's sophisticated accommodations right downtown–-plus a lively lobby and rooftop bar and lounge–-have a surprisingly cosmopolitan feel. There are still small-mountain-town comforts and charm, like custom wood furniture, comfy bedding, and exposed brick and other nods to the 1920s building. Panoramic views of the mountains at the rooftop bar can't be beat.
