"A pioneer in Boise’s dining scene, the Modern — located in a tastefully updated former Travelodge in Boise’s Linen District — became a catalyst for creative mixologists and a platform for chef Nate Whitley and others. During the pandemic, owner Elizabeth Tullis made the tough decision to shut down the popular restaurant, but it reopened in 2021 under the leadership of chef Kelly Grindstaff. A recent menu featured hamachi crudo, coq au vin, and vegan curry." - Scott Ki
"Revising a former Travelodge motel into a mod micro-oasis, this place is a sign that Boise is ready to assert itself as a cool modern city; rooms and suites are tastefully retro with teak furnishings, and a landscaped courtyard doubles as a gathering space for guests and spill-over for the hotel’s Modern Bar, surely one of the slickest martini spots in the state." - Mark Fedeli

"A renovated midcentury-style budget hotel (rates starting around $93) that retains minimalist design, serves a notable complimentary breakfast, and houses a bar known for tasty cocktails." - Amanda Gabriele
A design-forward hotel bar-restaurant that helped shape the Linen District’s scene. Praised by The New York Times and Vogue, and featured by Eater for its creative seasonal menu and serious cocktails under a veteran culinary team.
