The Brown Palace Hotel is a Denver institution that opened its doors in 1892 when Denver was a major staging post for adventurers seeking their fortunes in the West. It has been continuously operating ever since. Named after its original owner, Henry Cordes Brown, the triangular-shaped hotel is designed in the Italian Renaissance style, using Colorado red granite and Arizona sandstone adorned with 26 carved stone medallions of native Rocky Mountain animals. It is one of the first atrium-style hotels ever built and the lobby sports an impressive original stained-glass ceiling. The lobby interior walls are made of onyx while balconies with cast-iron railings rise up eight floors.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Denver within walking distance of the Capitol building, the Denver Art Museum and the major shopping and entertainment district.

The hotel has a total of 199 guest rooms and suites on floors 3-7 that are decorated in Victorian style, 33 suites on floors 8 and 9 that feature Art Deco décor. In addition four of the hotel’s suites are named after famous guests who stayed in the hotel: The Beatles Suite, Eisenhower Suite, Reagan Suite, and Teddy Roosevelt Suite.

Dining options include formal and casual options; Palace Arms restaurant features over 900 wines, and Ellyngtons restaurant presents Sunday Champagne brunch, with pastries from the onsite bakery. Hotel prepares all of its own baked goods in a unique, carousel oven – catalogued at more than 65 years old. The oven is one of only three in the world known to be in existence and is still used every day.

At The Spa at the Brown Palace, guests can relax with custom body and beauty treatments, including massages and soaks in the hotel’s artesian well water.
