We planned a ski trip to Steamboat Colorado and decided to spend a few days in Denver mid week. The Brown Palace is right in the heart of downtown Denver and was very convenient to everything we wanted to visit.
When we arrived, the door man and front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming. The staff were great the entire time we stayed there. The concierge recommended Sullivan's Restaurant and it was wonderful. It was everything you want in a great steak restaurant .
The hotel room was nice however we were disappointed that there was no fridge in the room. There was enough room to manouver around the king sized bed and a small sitting area by the windows. The bathroom was a bit dated although this is a very old hotel so it is not outfitted as nicely as some newer hotels. We found the restaurants in the hotel to be on the expensive side. The lobby is magnificent and the grand piano was a nice touch in the evening. There is a cigar bar which we stopped into late one evening - it is quite small so was jammed with people. the ventilation could have been improved as it was very smokey, even for a cigar bar.
the location of the hotel was perfect. we could walk to the Denver Art Museum, the state capital building, the 16th Street shopping street/mall and many other attractions.
The hotel is a landmark in the City and beautifully kept however we found the prices on the high side. If you want to stay in a historic hotel in a great location, then the Brown Palace is a good choice. The staff really try to make your stay special.
