While we’d all love to take a few weeks off work and travel to the other side of the world, visiting vineyards and castles and white-sand beaches, you and your honey don’t have to take a 12-hour flight to make a special night happen. These local staycation destinations will have you relaxing in style without a passport.
Inn at 500 Capitol
Located in the heart of downtown Boise, the Inn at 500 Capitol is the ideal destination for a couple’s staycation. Guests are treated to complimentary amenities such as local wine or beer at check-in, snacks throughout their stay and bicycles to explore the Greenbelt or downtown, as well as a convenient shuttle service.
“The Inn at 500 Capitol was modeled after Obie Hospitality’s flagship property, the Inn at the 5th, in Eugene, Oregon,” shared Adam Altwies, Hotel General Manager. “When building our very special boutique hotel here in Boise, it was carefully crafted to reflect the unique culture, history, and community of its surroundings. From curated local art to design elements inspired by the city’s character, every detail of the Inn at 500 Capitol was thoughtfully considered to create a one-of-a-kind experience.”
He continued, “We have a variety of beautiful guestrooms that include luxurious touches such as gas fireplaces, custom mattresses adorned with sumptuous Italian linens, private balconies, jetted tubs, and innovative butler pantries for seamless room service delivery. It is close to home yet seems like a true getaway.”
Hotel NoBo
In December 2021, Hotel NoBo underwent a massive, top to bottom transformation. North of Boise, Northbound, and No Boundaries, Hotel NoBo is conveniently located in the heart of Cascade and is the perfect destination for a mountain wonderland adventure in any season. Just thirty minutes from Tamarack Resort, a mile from Lake Cascade, and minutes from all things outdoors—hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and more.
Alongside comfortable, spacious rooms, Hotel NoBo is also home to the Checkpoint Lounge, a delicious tapas and wine bar, which is the perfect place to unwind after an adventure in the woods or an afternoon spent exploring Valley County’s many unique sights and shops. General Manager, Ann Everett-Cotroneo, has been a part of the Hilton family for nearly 30 years. “I truly believe our hospitality teams are always giving a smile and striving to provide most wonderful, memorable experiences to their guests.”
Hotel Renegade
“Boise has a history as a place the Renegades of the west settled early on, which inspired the name,” explained Jussi Santa, Hotel Renegade’s General Manager. “Boise has been the threshold to adventure and is on the map as a launching pad for all that Idaho has to offer.” Hotel Renegade has an approachable sense of luxury that is perfect for a weekend getaway or as a jumping off point to a wild adventure. With their Highlander rooftop bar, Babaroo Supper Club, and Blue Collar Coffee Company, guests have everything they need right at their fingertips.
“The positive response from everyone who walks in the door has been one of the most honoring experiences of my life,” shared Santa. “Comments include, ‘the designer should win a noble prize’ to ‘hands down the best service I’ve ever had.’ Our thoughtful staff has accepted the challenge to make an impression - let us know why you’re visiting, and we’ll strive to make it special and tailored to you!”
