The Ritz-Carlton Denver, formerly known as the Embassy Suites Downtown, is a skyscraper in Denver, Colorado. The building, a part of the Denver Place complex, was completed in 1983, and rises 38 floors and 390 feet (119 m) in height. The building stands as the eighteenth-tallest building in Denver and Colorado. The building was constructed as Park Suite Hotel in 1983, at which point it was the second-tallest hotel building in Denver, behind the 522-foot (159 m) MCI Building, now known as 707 17th Street; this structure is a mixed use hotel and commercial property whose lowest 20 floors are occupied by a Private Condominium (floors 15-19) and a Ritz-Carlton (Ground-14). Embassy Suites operated 337 guest rooms in the tower, including several suites. The uppermost 17 floors of the tower consist of apartments. In 2005, the building began a renovation and conversion of its lower hotel floors to a Ritz-Carlton hotel and private wholly owned condominiums (floors 15-19). This conversion was completed in early 2008, and the hotel had its grand opening ceremony on January 11, 2008. On June 20th, 2020 Plant Holdings North America, Inc. purchased the property.

One Tabor Center is a 408 feet (124 m) tall skyscraper in Denver, Colorado. The building was completed in 1984 and has 30 floors. It is the 15th tallest building in Denver. The building, designed by Urban Design Group, has a floor area of 669,000 sq ft (62,200 m2) and is located at 1200 Seventeenth Street, on Lawrence between Sixteenth and Seventeenth flanked on the 16th side by the covered Tabor Center Mall and on 17th by an open plaza. When developed in 1984, there was intended to be a "Two Tabor Center" on the opposite corner of the block (Seventeenth and Larimer Streets), a building mirroring One Tabor with a rounded facade facing its sister. This was never completed due to the economic conditions at the time. However, the foundation and caissons for this yet-to-be-built high-rise were constructed and can be seen covered artfully by aluminum sheathing. In early 2018 work was completed on an enhanced outdoor public plaza facing 17th Street as well as a remodeled entrance that can serve as the primary entrance for both Tabor One and Tabor Two towers. Additionally, adequate parking for both Tabor One & a second commercial tower were provided and exist underneath today. Several design iterations with a proposed second tower have been released over the years. Most recently in March 2018 an updated, yet still complementary, tower design named "Two Tabor" was revealed and in May 2018 a site development plan was officially submitted to the City and County of Denver's Planning department for review and ultimate approval. The more modern design calls for a 35-story, 495-foot commercial tower (~88 feet taller than One Tabor) that would ultimately complete the Tabor Center development and original vision. A construction commencement date has yet to be released and as of early 2021 the project has yet to start.

Chinatown in Denver, Colorado, was a residential and business district of Chinese Americans in what is now the LoDo section of the city. It was also referred to as "Hop Alley", based upon a slang word for opium. The first Chinese resident of Denver, Hong Lee, arrived in 1869 and lived in a shanty at Wazee and F Streets and ran a washing and ironing laundry business. More Chinese immigrants arrived in the town the following year. Men who had worked on the construction of the first transcontinental railroad or had been miners in California crossed over the Rocky Mountains after their work was completed or mines were depleted in California. In Denver, most of the Chinese operated laundries, picking up a need for Denver's residents. Anti-Chinese sentiment escalated to mob rule in Chinese enclaves throughout the Western United States. In 1880, a white mob attacked Chinese people, their homes and their businesses, virtually destroying all of Chinatown. One man was killed and dozens sustained severe injuries. The Chinese were not compensated for their property loss. Some people moved away soon after the riot, others stayed and rebuilt Chinatown, but the residents continued to experience racial discrimination. By 1940, Chinatown had few Asian inhabitants and the district was razed as part of an urban renewal project.
