Historic Bonneville Hotel


Artists Rendering of Historic Bonneville Hotel

The Bonneville Hotel, an all concrete and steel structure, was completed as a community undertaking in May 1927, just 9 months after ground was broken. It was financed by soliciting over 500 pledges from the community and at a cost of $325,000. The Times-Register published a separate edition to commemorate the completion of this extraordinary community effort. Following are four articles from that special May 31, 1927, edition:
New Bonneville Hotel Complete
I.F. Community Hotel Corporation
Pioneer Hotels of Idaho
Captain Bonneville
