Thanks to You!
We’re honored to announce that The Embers Hotel has been awarded three prestigious Northstar Stella Awards for 2025.

FEED YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR SENSES
Perched high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Embers Hotel glows year-round with Blowing Rock’s unmistakable charm. Crisp mountain air, sweeping views, and a town that balances small-town ease with a sense of adventure set the scene for stays that feel both relaxed and invigorating. From morning light over the ridgeline to evenings gathered close, this is mountain living at its most inviting.

THE EMBERS.
ELIXIR FOR THE SOUL.
Overlooking Blowing Rock’s charming town center, with the misty Blue Ridge mountains at its back, The Embers beckons guests to bask in the restorative power of nature, with a helping hand from high country hospitality at its finest. Each morning, we serve coffee by the fireplace, ready to suggest ideas for the day’s itinerary. In the evenings or any time curl up with a blanket, a book or a board game and let us fix you a fireside cocktail. Gather at the Embers Restaurant for a hearty meal featuring fresh, local fare. Relax with a sweet treat on our sweeping patio and breathe in that medicinal mountain air. Head out for a hike or an epic drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway (we have just the scenic soundtrack), and let the miles bring you back to your best self again.

RETURN TO YOUR SENSES
Rustic and refined. The Embers’ 36 rooms are inspired by the colors and textures of the Blue Ridge Mountains, featuring natural materials that mirror the magnificent beauty of the outdoors. Ease into the morning on your own private balcony, with views of historic downtown Blowing Rock or the sun rising over the Blue Ridge Mountains and breathe in the medicinal mountain air.
