The Brown Palace is one of the most beautiful historic (1890s) hotels that I've seen--and I've seen quite a few, because I particularly enjoy staying in historic hotels. The atrium lobby is spectacular. And, despite its age, the hotel is in great shape. My room was lovely, very comfortable and well-appointed. (Not everyone may appreciate the reproduction Victorian-style furniture, but... more

Stayed in a Top of the Brown room, and it was amazing. Luxuriously large bathroom, separate dressing area, nice flat screen tv and a bed so soft that it was hard to leave in the morning. From the hotel it was an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the riverfront. Same hotel our parents went to on their honeymoon 62 years ago... beautifully renovated. ... 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.

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.
