The house
Urban CowboyMaximalist Victorian mansion
An 1886 Gilded Age residence trades stiff period formality for freewheeling Western spirit and late-night parlor drinks.
“The property’s 16 rooms—the most spacious in the brand’s hotel portfolio—are spread over two floors, each with its own unique layout and design.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Maximalist wallpaper patterns clash vibrantly against Pendleton wool blankets and hand-hammered copper tubs.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
the building is no barn, but a beautifully preserved 1886 Victorian mansion whose historical details only accentuate the hotel’s maximalist, retro-inspired interior design.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Capitol Hill's residential streets surround the house, placing the State Capitol and Uptown music venues within a short walk.
The rooms
Each bedroom has a distinct layout. Some place clawfoot tubs beneath skylights, while the cupola suite holds twin baths under stained glass.
Restaurant
Urban Cowboy Public House
The carriage house behind the mansion holds a saloon serving wood-fired pizzas and cocktails beneath pressed-tin ceilings.
Urban Cowboy’s latest property marries tradition and maximalism, with vintage fur-lined couches, a hand-carved saloon bar, and copper soaking tubs.
How it began
Hat tycoon George Schleier built the red sandstone mansion in 1886, commissioning an eclectic design that later spent decades as law offices.
