"I stayed at Urban Cowboy Denver, where all 16 guest rooms and suites feature bespoke interiors like custom wallpaper and copper clawfoot tubs; the hotel also houses the restaurant Public House." - Jalyn Robinson Jalyn Robinson Jalyn Robinson is the assistant travel editor at People Inc., working for both Travel + Leisure and TripSavvy.

"Occupying the carriage house of the George Schleier Mansion, built in the 1880s, this nifty newcomer to Uptown plays the part of a Wild West-era saloon with gusto while whipping up thoroughly modern cocktails like the Rattlesnake Jake with rye, absinthe, amaretto, cacao, lemon, and egg white — which the lively and jam-packed crowd happily pairs with pizzas from Brooklyn transplant Roberta’s." - Ruth Tobias
"Housed in a preserved 1880s mansion on the edge of downtown Denver, I experienced Urban Cowboy’s nostalgic Western aesthetic brought to life across 16 rooms spread over two floors, each with a unique layout and eccentric, maximalist design. The wild patchwork of prints and patterns is paired with rustic touches; room categories range from the compact Pony suites (ideal for solo travelers) to standout spaces like the Gambler, which has a skylight above its bathtub, and the Honeymoon Suite tucked into the mansion’s onion‑tower cupola with two side‑by‑side clawfoot tubs beneath jewel‑toned stained‑glass windows and a shimmery black wall print.

"Go for: a polychromatic food scene; new lodgings that straddle past and present"
"The historic (and gorgeous) George Schleier Mansion in Capitol Hill is now home to the Urban Cowboy hotel, whose bar and dining room aptly resembles a late-19th century saloon — exposed brick, carved wood, tin ceilings, and all. The menu, by contrast, whisks guests not to the Old West but to modern-day Brooklyn courtesy of Roberta’s Pizza, which is serving up clam pizza with Calabrian chilies and gremolata, oxtail pasta al forno, and other Italian specialties to go with classic cocktails or local beers." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff
