This grande dame of Colorado lodging has hosted public figures from President Eisenhower to the Beatles since it first opened its doors in 1892. The details are exquisite: a dramatic nine-story lobby is topped with a glorious stained-glass ceiling, and the Victorian rooms have sophisticated wainscoting and art deco fixtures. The hotel pays equal attention to modern necessities, such as high-speed Web access and cordless telephones. The Churchill cigar bar sells rare cigars and single-malt scotches. A $2 million spa was added in 2005, in a space that originally held a spa when the hotel first opened, with Swiss showers and a natural rock waterfall that draws from the hotel's artesian well. www.brownpalace.com . 230 rooms, 25 suites.

We had a party of ten for lunch. Bothe of the Kobe burgers that were ordered were overcooked, one person sent it back. The burgers sort or resembled hockey pucks when they first arrived. the burger that was sent back took about 20-25 minutes to come back. The other person had to go to a meeting and ate hers very well done, muh to her disappointment. Maybe we came on a bad day?

A historic and gorgeous venue for any occasion. From the moment you walk into the Brown you know you're in the midst of a magical place. It has elegance and character unlike any other venue in Denver and has been that way for over a hundred years!

I LOVE this hotel. From the moment I set foot into the grand lobby until I get into one of the DECO SUITES on the top floor I feel like I'm somewhere else. Somewhere wonderful. And this is my feeling about Denver. We go there for 2 or 3 nights every August for a meeting and look forward to dinner the first night in the hotel where they make Caesar Salad in a wooden bowl with a real egg. Very... more

I love walking into the Brown Palace... what a sense of nastalgia. The rooms are a bit nastalgic as well, as far as appointment, I found the rooms to be a little on the small side and tightly laid out with furniture. Maybe it's just because I'm 6 foot tall, but I felt more cramped in my room than in most I stay in while traveling. I would say to have meetings in the lobby... but stay elsewhere.

For how pricey the Brown Palace Hotel is, they do not do a lot to ensure that their guests are satisfied. During a recent stay, I was awoken numbers times by a prom party in the room next door. I complained several times to the front desk - who did little to keep the room next door quiet. After my stay, I wrote a letter to the hotel, and never heard an apology from them.

The lobby is impressive so go visit, check out the glass ceiling but try NOT to stay there.

I'm sure their web page will have a better history, so grab a look at theirs. This historic fixture cannot be missed if you visit Denver. Please explore the hotel, look up in the lobby toward the stained glass, look out on the socialites having tea and chocolates, ask the desk staff and they'll tell you everything you care to know about their palace. Try the food in one of their restaurants... more

Despite the fact the plumbimg could probably use some updating, Brown Palace is still my favorite. Weekend brunch with jazz piano, complete with seafood platter, or afternoon tea cannot be beat. They are also constructing a spa... can't wait!I recommend using their tranquility package, which is the weekend package for two. It's reasonable for what you get.
