“A luxury landmark hotel in the cultural district of Denver. Contemporary rooms and traditional suites boast classical architecture, plush robes and deep-soaking tubs. Sip on cocktails and listen to piano in the Italian Renaissance eight-storey atrium. Two restaurants and a spa complete the picture.”

Hotel Review

Built in 1892, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa’s imposing atrium stands as a bastion of American finery in downtown Denver. Enter a bygone era, ivories tinkling as you discover six unique dining venues and a boutique Spa and Salon. The Beatles once stayed here, as did the famously “Unsinkable” Denver local, Molly Brown, just one week after surviving the Titanic disaster. Lean into the theme by donning your glad-rags for the resplendent afternoon tea, a Denver institution with bubbly, English tea and homemade scones. If you can, splurge on Top of the Brown premium digs for a lie down afterwards: lavish apartment-like accommodations with city views. Presidential Suites are named after esteemed visits by U.S. Presidents; The Eisenhower’s double bathroom boasts marble top to bottom, while The Roosevelt has a refined corner study. The hotel's own artesian well, located 750 feet beneath the building, supplies pure water directly to all guest rooms, adding an extra touch of exclusivity.

Denver’s award-winning grand hotel is fit for kings. Indeed, King George V stayed here, as did the Beatles, Rolling Stones and nearly every president of the United States. The red sandstone triangular building – with a storied (and haunted) past – has been a city landmark since 1892...
