Brown Palace

Written by Jonnye Phifer

Built in 1892, the Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, located at 321 17th Street in the heart of downtown Denver, is an icon rich in tradition and history. At the heart of the beautiful boutique hotel is the atrium lobby, soaring eight stories above the ground floor and crowned by a detailed stained-glass skylight. Dramatic Florentine arches surround the atrium, and intricately wrought iron panels decorate six stories of balconies. The hotel offers unique dining experiences where you can enjoy casual dining, afternoon tea, fine dining and more. Plus, you can spend time at the spa receiving luxurious treatments.

Brown Palace Lobby Tea

No visit to Denver is complete without experiencing the iconic Afternoon Tea. Sip tea topped with Devonshire cream shipped directly from England while listening to the soft sounds of the grand piano float through the multi-story atrium. Also enjoy handmade pastries, scones and tea sandwiches while admiring the natural light streaming in from our stained-glass ceiling.

Other dining options include the Ship Tavern, best known for some of the tastiest prime rib and seafood dishes in the downtown area.
