Experience Downtown with a Luxury Staycation

As our skyline has evolved, so have the fabulous amenities offered throughout the city. We are constantly impressed and excited by the growing opportunities here to take in a show, try something new, see live music, indulge in fine dining, sip crafted cocktails, and attend lively events. Plan a weekend staycation around the opening night of a theater performance, make a dinner reservation at one of the city’s fabulous restaurants, and stay overnight at a boutique luxury hotel. 

If you haven’t snuck away for a night at Hotel Renegade, it’s time you add it to your calendar. With an upscale supper club, stylish lobby bar, incredibly luxurious room accommodations, swanky rooftop cocktail lounge, and even its own coffee shop, you might check in and never want (or need) to leave! Greeted by the friendly staff and inspired by the warm and refined aesthetic, stepping into the Renegade is an experience in and of itself. No detail was missed in the design of this stunning space. Each of this boutique hotel’s rooms was thoughtfully created and curated with luxury, comfort, and style in mind. We were enamored with the copper soaking tub, sleek and modern fireplace, and unique light fixtures that add to the immaculate ambiance of the suite. 

Relax and recharge in your room, then visit the hotel’s dry bar to primp for an evening rendezvous. Stop by the lobby on Fridays, complete with stylish seating vignettes, for live music. Take an elevator up to the rooftop cocktail lounge for happy hour snacks and the best views of the city skyline at sunset. Sleep in, grab a coffee, take a morning walk on the greenbelt, and get back to the hotel in time for brunch at Baraboo Supper Club. The hotel’s tagline calls it, “The doorstep to your next adventure,” and we couldn’t agree more. Even if the adventure exists within its four walls… or just outside in Boise’s vibrant downtown. 

Recently awarded the prestigious AAA Four-Diamond rating, this recognition highlights the hotel's commitment to exceptional service, meticulous attention to detail, and a unique guest experience. It’s an easy spot to recommend, especially since we share a similar commitment to the highest level of luxury boutique service in our industry. 

While you’re planning your downtown staycation, don’t forget to check out fun local happenings and events! Ballet Idaho and The Morrison Center feature incredible shows, and in the warmer months, our city is host to live music at the Botanical Gardens Outlaw Field or even festivals like Tree Fort. The Boise Contemporary Theater has regular, thought-provoking performances and just opened The Ghost Light Bar, an attached cocktail spot where theater-goers have an opportunity to mingle and meet with actors and producers. Created with the intent to provide guests with a chance to discuss the play, ask follow-up questions, and shake hands with the stars, we think this is such a cool concept!

With many other outstanding new hotel options downtown, you could make the Boise staycation an annual (or quarterly?!) event. Each with their own unique vibe and offerings, there is no reason not to! Be sure to check out The Sparrow for a stylish, comfortable, and artsy option. Or book a stay at The Avery, a masterful renovation of a 120-year-old property blending old-world charm with modern amenities. We’re also excited to see the Mariott AC and Element Hotel under construction for yet another option for business travelers and city goers alike.
