Historic mansion hotel with opulent rooms, copper tubs, and pizza




"Set in a Gilded Age Denver mansion, this maximalist property feels like a lavish ode to the West, with vintage fur-lined couches, a hand-carved saloon bar, copper soaking tubs and 16 guest rooms dressed in custom wallpaper and Pendleton blankets. The Honeymoon Suite even has twin soaking tubs and the Roses room is wrapped in floral wallpaper and gold trim; common spaces include a parlor bar stocked with wine and the Public House restaurant in the carriage house serving wood-fired pizza and cognac-spiked Old Fashioneds. The hotel also offers a “Repeat Offender” loyalty discount that gives returning guests 10 percent off future stays." - Matt Kirouac

"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.

"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
