Blue Boar Inn Review

Winner of the prestigious "Best of Utah" award in the B&B category every year it's been given, the Blue Boar Inn is tucked into an upscale new neighborhood in historic Midway under the beautiful mountain vista of Wasatch Mountain State Park. Owned by Adobe Systems founder John Warnock and his wife, Marva, this is a special property, with a dozen attractive and plush guest rooms named for poets and authors. All of the rooms have their own unique charms, from the elephant-embroidered pillows in the Rudyard Kipling room to the leather sleigh bed in the Charles Dickens to the rugged motif in the Robert Frost; the William Shakespeare room is very European with a rococo hand-carved king-size bed from Italy. All rooms have fireplaces and jetted tubs. Named for a watering hole in Robin Hood lore, the Blue Boar Inn is also home to one of the region's best restaurants, with a contemporary Continental menu heavy on fresh seafood and a superlative 3,000-bottle wine cellar. Main courses are typically $30 to $40. Through the entire property, every detail, from the fascinating antiques (including 600-year-old crossbows) to the impeccable landscaping, hits the mark.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
