Idaho is no stranger to uniquely themed hotels. We have a motel shaped like a giant beagle, for Pete’s sake. However, there are two themed hotels here in Idaho that takes it’s themes to a whole other level. A stay at the Black Swan Inn in Pocatello or the Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls, both of which are under the same ownership, is a truly unique experience in itself. Each one of their rooms is extravagantly decorated in order to transport you to a different place and time. You’re sure to fall in love with at least one of these rooms, so take a look!
The Black Swan Inn is located in Pocatello and has been creating unique experiences for hotel guests for the past two decades. The experience starts as soon as you step on the premises, where even the outside of the building looks like something out of a fairy tale.
Travel back in time by booking a night in the Black Swan's "Wild West Room". The attention to detail in the room is out of this world. It even comes complete with a watering can shower head! All of the rooms are both fully immersed in their themes whilst upholding a feeling of luxury.
