The five hotel projects brought more than 700 rooms to Downtown Boise, making it easier for guests attending things like the Big Sky Basketball tournament, conventions and Treefort Music Fest to find accommodations within walking distance of the venues.

Boise's urban renewal period that took place in 1970s was especially unkind to some historic buildings. Others were converted for some other use.

Their memory has been preserved in these vintage postcards we found on eBay. How many of the hotels do YOU remember?
