This is a most historic hotel with a lot of nice old features.

There is an excellent piano player i teh afternoons, who is slightly audibloe in the bedrooms. It is as though it's Frank Sinatra in Around the World in 80 Days. Butch Cassidy or Sundance could appear at any moment.

Beers are good in the Ship Inn and tucker healthy.

Rooms are a bit small on the whole but have everything one would expect.

“History and elegance”

Brown Palace Hotel

Mar 14, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

A stay at the Brown Palace is a true historic experience, with modern luxury. The rooms are comfortable and interesting, we have stayed in two different parts of the hotel. One a very gracious suite when our family needed a home base at the holidays,the other a very sweet small room that was needed for a busy skiing weekend. The smaller room worked for us but was indeed historic in the sense that it was just for sleeping and getting ready for busy days, not for sitting around in. But still well appointed, clean and functional. We enjoyed the lobby for visiting and relaxing.

The spa is wonderful and all treatments I received were very well done, timely and sublime. The facility is quiet which made relaxing easy. All my needs were met and the experience was great thereby causing me to want to come back and to give two gift certificates for friends who live in Denver. A very enjoyable place to spend an afternoon.

Overall a very lovely, delightful weekend experience, and one that we will surely repeat.

I was disappointed that when I booked a package online, the reservation was not correct when we arrived. The front desk informed me that I would have to pay more money if I wanted the package. I had to have valet get the printed confirmation from the truck to prove what I had booked. Also, the valet hit the front of our truck while it was in the garage. They obviously knew it had happened and wouldn't have informed us if we had not seen the damage.
The SPA was Amazing, though. Also, Ellington's brunch is worth every penny.
We will go back, but I will book over the phone next time.

2/3 found this review helpful

Stayed here on business last month for one night. I was given a very small room that barely had room to walk between the dresser and the foot of the bed. The bed had a footboard with newel posts at each corner that hit my upper leg every time (ouch!) I went to the desk on the other side of my cell, oops, room.

The very narrow and outdated bathroom had a very dangerous step leading up into it. The old-fashioned tub was very deep and narrow, was difficult to get into and was surrounded by a very clingy shower curtain (gross). Minimal shelf space for toiletries above the small pedestal sink, which was cracked, as was the mirror. I am 5-10, and my knees touched the wall in front of me when I sat on the toilet.

Other than that, the room had a 42" plasma TV (shockingly!) and was pretty clean. The people at the door and the front desk were very nice and friendly. My wake up call was on time. The concierge was completely clueless when I asked about airport transportation options and the location of the nearest Starbucks.

I really wish my company would strike a deal with a better hotel in Denver! I was not at all happy at this one....

My husband and I recently spent only 1 short night at this wonderful hotel and have nothing but great things to say about our stay. The staff & service were absolutely exceptional & they did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Our only regret was that our stay was too short. We had a lovely and very spacious room & two great meals via room service (we had a very tired baby on our hands!). If ever we pass through Denver again we would not consider staying anywhere else!
