Make Boise Yours This Summer: A Hotel 43 Guide

1. Cruise the Boise River Greenbelt

Grab one of our complimentary Hotel 43 cruiser bikes and hit the 25-mile Boise River Greenbelt, just steps from our front door. With shaded tree-lined paths, scenic river views, and easy access to local parks, it’s the perfect way to explore Boise on two wheels.

Pro Tip: Pack a picnic from a local deli and stop at Julia Davis Park for a relaxing break.

2. Catch a Show or Art Exhibit

Boise’s downtown arts scene thrives in the summer — and as proud sponsors of the Boise Contemporary Theater, we love to recommend it for a dose of culture and creativity. For visual art lovers, don’t miss a walk through Freak Alley Gallery, the largest open-air mural gallery in the Northwest.

Nearby Picks: Boise Art Museum and the Idaho Shakespeare Festival (season starts in May!).

3. Bring Your Furry Friend Along

Traveling with your pup? With Hotel 43’s Pet Package, your four-legged companion gets a warm welcome too. Downtown Boise is full of pet-friendly patios, trails, and green spaces that make tails wag — including Ann Morrison Park’s off-leash area.

Included: A plush dog bed, bowls, gourmet treats, and a curated list of pet-approved local spots.

4. Dine Like a Local

Start your day with brunch at a cozy downtown café, then make reservations at Chandlers — our on-site fine dining restaurant known for its award-winning martinis, steaks, and nightly live jazz.

Looking to eat your way through the city? Boise’s culinary scene is bursting with summer patios, food truck rallies, and seasonal menus made to impress.

5. Explore Boise’s Summer Events

From local farmers markets to open-air concerts and art festivals, there’s something happening almost every weekend in Boise during the summer.
Don’t miss:

• Alive After 5
  Every Wednesday evening in the summer, The Grove Plaza comes alive with the sound of music, the clinking of glasses, and the buzz of downtown energy. Alive After 5 is Boise’s iconic free summer concert series, running from mid-June through August and just steps from Hotel 43. Grab a drink, dance to live music from local and national artists, and soak in the golden hour with locals and visitors alike. It’s the perfect midweek outing during your Boise stay.

• Capitol City Public Market (Saturdays)

• First Thursdays downtown: Live music, extended shopping hours, and specials from local businesses.

6. Unwind in Style at Hotel 43

After a day of exploring, retreat to your serene guestroom, sink into a plush bed with crisp linens, and let your summer stories settle in. Whether you’re soaking in the city’s energy or finding your quiet corner downtown, Hotel 43 is your boutique basecamp for summer in Boise.
