The SPARROW
The SPARROW is a community-inspired downtown launchpad for adventures in and around Boise, Idaho. A basecamp for travelers, it is dedicated to showcasing the best the area has to offer. Its team members serve as guides for Boise experiences, helping to find all the lesser-known local gems and off-the-beaten-path attractions. The SPARROW is the best place in town to start—and finish—any kind of outing. Located downtown, it is within easy walking distance of the area’s best-kept secrets.
Originally built in the 1960s but recently revived and repurposed into a fresh new hotel inspired by the region and community, The SPARROW features one-of-a-kind guest rooms with thoughtfully created infographic artwork by area artists, oversized sitting areas, an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, an open-air patio overlooking Grove Street and endless amenities. Inside, the FORM & FUNCTION café sits in the lobby, while the Crisp food truck serves locally inspired dishes.
