The Great Idaho Show - Dustin Scott - Avery Hotel - Downtown Boise

The Avery Hotel: A 5‑Star Toast to Boise’s History & Hospitality
In this Great Idaho Show episode, host Dylan Stocker is joined by Dustin Scott, Facilities Manager of Boise’s newly reimagined Avery Hotel. Originally built in 1910 as the Hotel Manitou atop the Boz/Granada Theater, the Averyl (later Avery) Tiner Building has been meticulously restored, down to original guest‑room doors, staircases, and windows, earning recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

What inspires a Michelin‑starred chef like Idahoan Cal Elliott to revive a century‑old building? A profound passion for great food, and for crafting extraordinary spaces. He restored the entire structure to house two standout culinary destinations:

• Avery Brasserie (fine‑dining, French‑inspired, 5‑star experience)

• Tiner’s Alley (a distinguished English‑style bar with elevated comfort food, stately ambiance, and historic charm)

Dustin dives into the painstaking preservation work, from the marble elevator shaft to the century‑old Brunswick bar, and shares how this 5‑star boutique hotel and its dual dining venues honor Boise’s past while setting a new standard for downtown’s future.
