Best Old Building
El Jebel
The El Jebel building in Denver’s Uptown neighborhood, known for its onion-shaped turret-toppers, was reimagined in 2024 by Non Plus Ultra, a company that makes use of historic buildings caught in the tricky space between preservation and disuse. NPU fixed up the plumbing and restored many of the building’s original features. Now the giant space, with a ballroom, reception rooms, coat-check spaces and the oldest working elevator in Colorado, can be rented for a variety of events. We’re glad more people get to experience El Jebel’s history and gorgeous design.
