About the Hotel
Historic Boone Tavern - A Colonial Revival landmark with student-crafted furnishings and regional Kentucky dining
Built at a prominent location on College Square where the old Dixie Highway intersects the campus, this 4-star Berea hotel features handcrafted furniture and mosaic art mirrors made by Berea College Woodcraft Industries.
