Nestled in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, The Embers Hotel invites guests to rejuvenate amid nature's beauty and exceptional high country hospitality. Originating from a quaint brown house with a porch view of downtown, The Embers Hotel was inspired by the serene moments its founders enjoyed while sipping coffee in the crisp mountain air.

Every aspect of The Embers Hotel reflects a connection to nature, highlighted by an impressive log-burning fireplace and a distinctive bar top crafted from semi-translucent Patagonia stone. Custom light fixtures made from reclaimed barn beams add to the unique ambiance, emphasizing rustic luxury.

The hotel's seamless indoor-outdoor design features spacious balconies for each room and expansive patios, creating an inviting blend of nature and comfort. With 36 rooms adorned in warm wood and decor, guests feel embraced by the mountains. Rich color palettes evoke flames and mountain hues, while natural materials like stone, wood, and metal, layered with cozy textiles, provide a perfect haven for relaxation. The Embers Hotel redefines mountain hospitality, encouraging guests to reconnect with nature.
