WaterWalk opens new Idaho hotel

WaterWalk recently introduced its newest property under the brand’s Gen 2.0 model, WaterWalk Boise (Idaho) – Meridian. The upscale property has fully furnished ‘Stay’ units and ready-to-furnish ‘Live’ units.

"Meridian is a rapidly growing area that is appealing for both travelers and for new residents looking to call Greater Boise home, making it an attractive market for WaterWalk,” WaterWalk CEO Mimi Oliver said in a statement. 

WaterWalk Boise – Meridian is located in Northeast Meridian, close to downtown Boise. The property has 126 rooms—76 fully furnished ‘Stay’ units and 50 ready-to-furnish ‘Live’ units that range in size from studios to two-bedroom spaces both with and without balconies.

“WaterWalk has been on a path of exponential growth across the country, and the addition of our newest property in Meridian marks our furthest reach West so far,” said Stephen Armstrong, SVP of WaterWalk Brand. “As we continue to debut our Gen 2.0 model in key markets, we are eager to help meet the demand for flexible accommodations that appeal to the dynamic lifestyles of consumers today.”

Each guestroom has a kitchen with full-size appliances including a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and range, along with a pantry and kitchen island. Each unit has a full-size washer and dryer. The common areas of the property include ‘The Living Room’ in the lobby, with an espresso station, work stations with a printer, seating areas, oversized wall-mounted board games and a TV. The property also has a fitness center and a back patio with lounging furniture, fire pits, lawn games and a grilling area.

WaterWalk’s pipeline, which will result in a portfolio that doubles in size by the end of 2024, consists of numerous Gen 2.0 properties being constructed and additional properties under development. This includes properties currently underway in Tucson, Ariz. which is slated to open in the fall; Jacksonville, Fla. which is slated to open in the fall; and Huntsville, Ala. which is slated to open in the winter.
