Donoho Hotel

The Donoho Hotel is a Colonial Revival structure housing 36 guest rooms, a formal entrance lobby, and a dining hall with capacity for 128 diners. The building layout connects these spaces to create a complete experience for overnight visitors.

The Donoho Hotel was built in 1916 following a fire that destroyed the original structure. It remains one of only three hotels from Red Boiling Springs' early resort era.

The place attracted affluent merchants and upper-middle class visitors during the 1920s and 1930s who came to experience the healing mineral springs in the area.

The hotel remains open for overnight stays with updated interior facilities added during 2014 renovations. Historic architectural details are still visible throughout the rooms and common areas of the property.

The property retains several historic outbuildings including a stone fruit cellar from the 1890s and a 1924 Craftsman house that once belonged to the Chitwood family. These structures offer glimpses into the daily operations and staff life during that period.
