Where Summer Camp Nostalgia Meets Bespoke Memories

Why should kids have all the fun? Curate your own version of summer camp at Inn at 500 Capitol — elevated with plush bedding, room service and an adult beverage at check in. At the Inn, we invite you to rediscover the joy of summer, this time on your terms.

Start your mornings with warm coffee in hand as you wander through the Julia Davis Rose Garden, its paths lined with fragrant blooms. From there, the day’s your own: take a class at Boise Art Glass and make your very own summer souvenir — yes, grown-up craft time can include fire and molten glass.

Later, maybe it’s time for a slow float down the Boise River or an exhilarating slide down the three-story corkscrew at JUMP. You can even transcend the three-story net structure known as The Climber for sweeping city views (and enjoy  that little thrill of accomplishment, too). Still feeling curious? Head to the Idaho Botanical Garden to stroll the trails or catch a concert among the trees. Embrace your inner art lover at Freak Alley Gallery, an ever-evolving canvas of bold murals and street art.

Every Saturday, the Capital City Farmers Market comes alive with fresh produce, local makers and the happy bustle of the season. Whether you’re browsing for picnic snacks or planning a balcony happy hour back at the Inn, you’ll find inspiration at every turn. Of course, there’s always the 8th Street Promenade or the Inn’s own Hemlock for an unforgettable libation or dinner.

The best part? After a day of playful exploration, you’ll retreat to luxury, whether you choose your favorite theme room, a Spa King Suite with a jetted whirlpool tub or something else.. And since no summer camp is complete without a camp fire, you’ll revel in luxury amenities like your gas fireplace and the kind of service that makes every moment feel easy. 

This July, make time to explore, to create, to play. Book your stay at Inn at 500 Capitol and treat yourself to the kind of summer you’ll actually remember.
