Banner Elk Hotel is a historic hotel building located at Banner Elk, Avery County, North Carolina. The original section of the hotel dates to about 1856, with expansions made between 1877 and 1891. Two-story rear wings and smaller additions were made between 1891 and 1898. It was originally built as a dwelling house, later expanded and converted for use as a hotel. It is a rambling, frame, U-shaped two-story building covered with weatherboard siding.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1] The hotel building has since been demolished. [3]
