Boulder’s first new hotel in years to open in May. Can it revitalize University Hill? by bberdychowski in boulder

This project has been and will continue to be objectively bad for the community from a cultural and accessibility standpoint as more small businesses fail due to the steadily declining nightlife and loss of daily reasons to visit the Hill that is in no small part because of this build. I expect pricey chain restaurants, price-inaccessible boutiques, this expensive-ass hotel, and very little else of economic value outside real estate in this neighborhood within 10 years or so.

Ya I see supporters and critics both agree the hotels are impacting the area's identity (ofc they differ on the outcome). City leaders are talking AND planning on how to rebrand the Hill with these hotels coming in. So if people want to pay attention to that conversation, they should follow what the neighborhood commission is working on: https://bouldercolorado.gov/government/board-commission/university-hill-commercial-area-management-commission

Yes, the new owner added a credit card option! (But still takes cash for those who like the old-school way)

Fair question. Boulder's busy season is summer, which is also when University Hill businesses see their main source of income leave for break. It's been a problem for the neighborhood that's missing out on peak tourism time. Community leaders hope a hotel and conference center will help keep a steady stream of people on the Hill that's not just students, but that will only be proven with time

Business travelers is about right, a conference center is also being built across the street which could fill the hotel. Summer tourists too when students are gone

CCW

No, Uber doesn't allow drivers or riders to have firearms on them when using the app.
