A Charming Hotel in Berea, Kentucky

Historic Boone Tavern Hotel & Restaurant

The bluegrass of Kentucky meets the rolling hills of Appalachia at The Historic Boone Tavern Hotel & Restaurant. Our storied hotel in Berea, KY is in its second century of providing guests with the pinnacle of southern hospitality and charm.

Our LEED Gold Certified Green Hotel celebrates all things local. After all, Berea is the Folk Arts and Crafts Capital of Kentucky and is home to many artists, craftsmen, and culinary experts. You’ll enjoy our relaxing guestrooms, showcasing handcrafted furniture, bedding, and mirrors, many of which were made by Berea College students. These rooms are accented with crown molding, high ceilings, and calming soaking tubs.

The charisma seeps into the Bowling Dining Room as well. Our award-winning restaurant features the legendary cornbread soufflé locally known as Boone Tavern Spoonbread, among other mouth-watering original dishes that source regional Kentucky Proud ingredients.

Bring your group events and celebrations to Boone Tavern for memorable occasions underscored with subtle Kentuckian flare. Alluring weddings, quiet afternoon meetings, relaxing retreats—they’re all emboldened by Boone Tavern’s enchanting air.
