Our Impact
Areas where we are active have seen an increase in jobs, property values, occupancy rates, and tax revenues, all while maintaining the cultural vibrancy of the surrounding communities. To validate the impact, GBX Group has engaged Rutgers Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy to study the economic impacts of GBX’s historic preservation properties in urban markets throughout the U.S. The school is one of the nation’s key centers for the theory, practice, and research of these impacts.

June 9, 2025Best Southwest Hotel - Urban Cowboy Denver
For whatever brings you to Denver, your stay at this Urban Cowboy location will deliver style and soul in spades. Set inside a restored 1880s Queen Anne mansion in Capitol Hill, this hotel expertly blends historic charm — think gargoyle-carved staircases and stained glass — with bold, Western-inspired design (including hand-hammered copper tubs in every room).
After a day spent hiking the Red Rocks, or exploring RiNo’s extensive street-art scene, grab a seat on-site at Public House (located in the actual former carriage house of the mansion) and order a wood-fired pie from locals Little Johnny B’s. With arguably one of the most creative hotel-bar programs we’ve ever tried (go ahead and order their savory red bell pepper “Kazillionaire” cocktail), Urban Cowboy offers a uniquely Denver experience that’s as memorable as it is Instagram-worthy.
