The 10 best hotels in Boise

Discover the top hotels in Boise, handpicked by local expert Brandon Schultz.
Brandon Schultz
September 25, 2024

Boise isn’t exactly a large city, but it still hosts more than one million annual visitors. Some of these are regional guests coming for festivals and other cultural events, but many are attracted from across the country by the abundance of nature surrounding the urban space. Because this is such an outdoor city, many of Boise’s hotels cater to active guests with amenities and services that enhance outdoor experiences. Here you’ll have easy access to everything from hiking and biking to white water rafting and kayaking. That’s exactly why I love spending time in Idaho’s capital. You’ll find nearly all of the best hotels in Boise in or close to downtown, where access to the city’s cultural attractions is just as convenient as the wealth of nearby nature. From budget gems to luxury properties and inspiring boutique spots to familiar chains, here are my favorite stays in Boise.

1.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Boise Downtown

Address:

202 South 6th Street

Price:

$119-394/night

Home2Suites by Hilton Boise Downtown is one of the best hotels in Boise for families looking for a convenient combination of fun and affordability without sacrificing comfort or familiarity. The large rooms of Home2 Suites come in a variety of categories to accommodate any size family with increasing square footage and sleeping capacity, including beds and sleeper sofas. Suites typically come with separate rooms, but even smaller room categories here include privacy curtains for creating separate activity and sleeping spaces.

Especially great for keeping younger family members happy and comfortable, rooms are accented with bright colors, and include kitchenettes perfect for stocking with snacks and drinks. Most impressive here, I love that the pool is not only indoors for entertainment year-round, but includes a children’s area complete with a whale fountain, a water wall and even a waterslide. It’s directly connected to the adult pool so the whole family can play together.

2.

The Avery Hotel

Address:

1010 West Main Street

Price:

$179-351/night

The Avery is Boise’s only historic boutique hotel, reinvigorating a glamorous property from yesteryear that sat partly vacant for decades. What opened as a hotel in 1910 eventually became the Northwest’s largest moving picture theater, a boxing venue, a department store and a nightclub before its recent return to an elegant Main Street hotel.

I adore the old-world sophistication you find in the rooms here, from beautifully tiled bathrooms to luxury linens and furniture that seamlessly blends history with contemporary style. Spring for a balcony suite for French door access to your own personal city and mountain views.

I also love the European influence of The Avery’s pair of upscale drink and dining venues, Avery and Tiner’s Alley. The former offers chic French dining and the latter serves elevated British classics. This is hands down one of the best hotels in Boise for a glam getaway.

3.

Inn At 500 Capitol

Address:

500 South Capitol Boulevard

Price:

$188-601/night

You’ll never run out of things to see and do with a reservation at the Inn at 500 Capitol. This six-floor boutique hotel in Downtown Boise is packed with eye-catching moments at every turn. More than half the 110 rooms are themed – many of them locally, ranging from the Farmer’s Market Room to the Boise Art Museum Room – but not at the sacrifice of taste or comfort.

This is an upscale stay with amenities to match, including complimentary snacks at the front desk, free cruiser bike rentals and – my favorite – a complimentary wine hour each evening.

But this is also one of the best hotels in Boise for getting to know the city, thanks to the self-guided art tours it provides and the fun scavenger hunt that explores both the hotel and the surrounding city. If you’re looking for something more specific, ask the concierge to arrange a unique Boise adventure.

4.

Hotel 43

Address:

981 Grove Street

Price:

$175-730/night

If you love Boise as much as Boise loves Boise, Hotel 43 is the place for you. The name alone should clue you in to this hotel’s love of all things local – Idaho is the 43rd state and Boise sits on the 43rd parallel.

But my favorite touches are the less obvious details, like the headboards made by local artisans and the abundance of local products in Market 43, the lobby gift shop and market.

While many of the city’s hotels offer free bike loans, including this one, Hotel 43 also gives out free passes to the Boise Art Museum to instantly immerse you in the city’s culture, making it one of the best hotels in Boise for embracing local life (you’ll need to ask for these at the front desk). Other fun freebies here include airport shuttle service and locally baked muffins in the mornings.

5.

The Riverside Hotel, BW Premier Collection

Address:

2900 West Chinden Boulevard

Price:

$154-507/night

The Riverside Hotel is one of the best hotels in Boise for group travel. It’s not only the largest hotel in the region, but it also contains 20,000 square feet of meeting space for conventions and other events of nearly any size.

While you’re never far from the water in this city, The Riverside is directly on the Boise River, with 14 acres of resort-style amenities on offer to keep any group entertained.

Seasonally, the large outdoor pool remains open late and often hosts lively events (it’s always heated to a comfortable 85º). The outdoor fire pits are great meeting points with colleagues, family or new friends and there’s daily live music at The Sandbar, the riverfront bar and grill. But my favorite thing to do here is pay a visit to the on-site winery, complete with tastings and tours.

6.

The Grove Hotel

Address:

245 South Capitol Boulevard

Price:

$173-871/night

For views that can’t be beat, The Grove Hotel tops the list of the best hotels in Boise. At 14 stories, The Grove is the tallest hotel in Boise, with large windows that offer sweeping views of the Boise Foothills and the downtown cityscape. Even the fitness center here is known for its fabulous views (though note this one isn’t open 24 hours, like many other hotels).

Still, what I love most about The Grove is its proximity to Grove Plaza. This community gathering point hosts festivals, markets, concerts and more, offering year-round entertainment that’s usually free. The ice skating is free in winter – the skate rentals too.

Trillium, the upscale on-site American restaurant, serves entrees ranging from Cajun shrimp mac and cheese to filet mignon, but it’s not too stuffy to have a sandwich section on its dinner menu.

7.

Modern Hotel

Address:

1314 West Grove Street

Price:

$171-315/night

In the 1960s, this was a classic roadside motel offering cheap stays for weary travelers looking for a place to sleep and a cup of coffee in the morning. Today, the radically renovated space is home to a boutique hotel that is, as the name suggests, thoroughly modern.

The guestrooms are bright and airy, and everyone who stays here agrees how comfortable the beds are. But my favorite space has to be the lively communal courtyard. The exteriors are as inviting as the interior, with vine-covered railings acting as trellises and local art making the courtyard a chic space to hang and meet new friends.

Modern Bar serves a seasonal craft cocktail menu complemented by a seasonal dinner menu, with selections like Hamachi crudo, crispy cauliflower, coq au vin and steak frites. This is one of the best hotels in Boise for low-stress, high-reward travel.

8.

The Anniversary Inn - Boise

Address:

1575 South Lusk Avenue

Price:

$156-247/night

While The Anniversary Inn is sometimes billed as a bed and breakfast, this isn’t your typical B&B. All of the 41 suites at this boutique hotel are uniquely themed. Expect to find surprises like floor-to-ceiling elephants, log cabins, gazebos and spiral staircases leading to turrets inside the suites. As the name might suggest, many of the rooms are romantic in nature, making this one of the best hotels in Boise for couples.

While children aren’t allowed, there’s plenty of room for kids at heart with adventure-themed suites. Two of my favorites are Treasure Island and Swiss Family Robinson, featuring a pirate ship and in-room tree house respectively. No matter which suite you choose, you’ll be living in some form of a fairy tale for the duration of your stay. Complimentary breakfast is delivered to your suite each morning.

9.

Hotel 28 Boise Airport Ascend Hotel Collection

Address:

4111 Broadway Avenue

Price:

$81-194/night

For quick trips in and out of the capital, Hotel 28 is one of the best hotels in Boise near the airport. Thanks to the quaint size of this city, Hotel 28 is just five minutes from the airport and still only 10 minutes from downtown, so you won’t be far from the action like you might be at an airport hotel in a larger city.

Here you can expect the usual airport hotel conveniences like a free shuttle, 24-hour reception and complimentary hot breakfast, along with business facilities and clean, comfortable (though fairly standard) rooms.

What I appreciate most about Hotel 28 Boise Airport is that, even though it’s an airport hotel, it offers opportunities for communal entertainment including an outdoor swimming pool and a pergola-covered fire pit lounge perfect for viewing Boise’s colorful sunsets.

10.

Hyatt Place Boise Downtown

Address:

1024 West Bannock Street

Price:

$125-530/night

For families or business travelers wanting a little extra space without springing for suites at luxury hotels, Hyatt Place is one of the top rated hotels in Boise. Hyatt Place Boise Downtown is centrally located and offers extra seating and work areas in each room category, plus additional spaces like partial kitchens, dining areas and full living rooms if you upgrade to suites.

What’s more, the sofas in all categories are sleepers – ideal for kids who still need space to spread out during the day.

The free breakfast buffet is offered daily, and The Placery serves familiar foods from late afternoon through 11 pm, ideal for groups of travelers with different tastes or needs. There’s a 24-hour espresso bar here too, but my favorite public space is the business center, with its multiple nooks with comfortable furniture and work surfaces for mini meetings or emails.
