Ryder Hall, also known as the Mountain Manor Hotel and Cloud Hotel, is a historic hotel located at Saluda, Polk County, North Carolina. It was built in 1909, as a girls' dormitory for the Saluda Seminary that operated until 1922. It is a 2+12-story, "H"-plan, Colonial Revival style frame building sheathed in weatherboard. It has a gambrel roof with shed-roof dormers and features full-width one-story shed roof porches on the front and rear elevations. It housed a public school until 1927, then was converted to a hotel. It was converted to a single-family dwelling after 1992.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
