There is no place like the Brown Palace. Their afternoon tea service is on par with the best in Britain. The historic decor throughout the Brown Palace provides a wonderful feast for the eyes. Both comfortable and refined, there is nothing like the Brown Palace. The Ship Tavern burgers are a special treat, but try not to drip the juices all over your clothes.

  • Pros: Superior food quality and service
  • Cons: Can be pricey

Me and my wife needed a night out on the town and decided to stay a night at the Brown Palace. It was eveything we had hoped for. Great service, clean rooms and complete pampering. It was just what we needed. It is a bit pricy but it was worth it for the experience. -David

  • Pros: Service

I agree with a previous review for this hotel. This place is definitely not recommended for New Years. We had 3 friends come in from out of town and we wanted to take them around to enjoy Denver. First issue is when we booked the hotel they said there is plenty of parking. This is the main reason we chose this hotel. We checked in at 4:00pm and then took our friends around town for awhile. Came back at 8:00pm and they tell us the parking is full. Full? They had quite a few rooms open that night. Second, we had asked for accommodations for 5 people and they said that should be no problem. All we expected was two beds and perhaps a cot. After checkin, they tell us there is nothing they can do for us for accommodations. I'm sorry, but we are not filthy rich and able to drop over $1000 on two rooms for one night. Then, at 1:00am in the morning, they knock on the door and bring in a cot. And this could not have been done earlier? Never again, never again.

  • Pros: located in downtown near everything, has a nice view
  • Cons: staff was horrible, no parking (unless you have the $$$ to drop I suppose)

This hotel was a wonderful nights stay. The staff was consistantly attentive and friendly. I felt like I a Queen! The hotel spa was a relaxing retreat. And, again the staff was attentive and friendly. The common areas were always checked and kept in clean tidy order. We had dinner in the Tavern, again - perfection!

On Sunday morning they serve a fabulous champagne brunch in Ellington's. It was fit for a King. In closing I would recommend experiencing any portion of what this hotel has to offer - you will not be disappointed. Whether it be just a mani-cure / pedi cure to a full night stay with dinner and breakfast.

  • Pros: Consistant attentive and friendly staff
  • Cons: None

The Scene
Opened in 1892, this wedge-shaped sandstone and granite building has hosted princes and presidents, Hollywood actors and rock stars. It has been completely modernized over the years, but always with an eye to preserving its history.

The Details
Each of the 241 rooms has thick terry robes and down comforters. Other amenities include complimentary high-speed Internet access, 24-hour room service, twice-daily maid service, a full-time concierge and a well-equipped fitness center. The art-deco staterooms on the eighth and ninth floors are a little more costly, but a lot bigger than the hotel's other doubles. Several of the 25 suites, all with fireplaces, are named after their famous occupants, such as President Eisenhower and the Beatles. Every afternoon, English tea is served in the atrium lobby. Sundays, both out-of-towners and locals enjoy the Dom Perignon Sunday brunch.

Great historic hotel and rooms. However, not the quietest place. If you like dogs, dog hair in the room, a dog on your bedspread prior to your stay, and dog lying on the chair prior to your stay, and oh yes, a barking dog once in awhile, this is your place. I like a clean room free of pets. I don't want to even think about some dogs butt on my bedspread or chair, uhh. The management should put the pets and owners on one floor and let them enjoy themselves. Oh did I add, barking dogs on ocassion. Great location to downtown but I'm not going back (unless I bring a dog along).

  • Pros: location, historic hotel
  • Cons: dogs, dog hair, dogs barking

It is truly a pity that such a beautiful hotel, with an amazing history, is robbing people at New Years Eve. $743 for one of the best packages available, a great room, a horrid dinner, and the gall to have a CASH BAR! The room and view were very nice, although I couldn't open the window, as the room was ungodly hot. Dinner was the biggest disappointment in the Palace Arms. A tiny starter, inedible, a salad that looks like 4 leaf clovers, and a small piece of steak, that was like chewing rubber. The kicker was the cash bar, $5-6 for a pitiful drink after paying $743 dollars for a nights package. The Radisson was $300 per couple and had an open bar. Please dont waste your money.

  • Pros: Very fancy room, Great Bed, Beautiful hotel
  • Cons: Room was an oven, Food is terrible

The Brown Palace should be rated the number one romantic hotel in the Denver area. The opulance is everwhere, from the grand atrium to the lovely rooms. Couples can enjoy a walk though downtown and sip champagne with afternoon tea.

There is no comparison between the Brown Palace and the Inverness Hotel. Please don't include business people's ratings of wonderful golf with romance.
