Expert reviews
“The crown jewel of Denver hotels since 1892, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa remains one of the most luxurious (and most expensive) properties in town. Beyond us commoners, almost every U.S. President has stayed at The Brown Palace since Teddy Roosevelt first stayed in 1905.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Denver.
“Standing agape under the stained-glass-crowned atrium, it’s clear why this palace is shortlisted among the country’s elite historic hotels. There’s deco artwork, a four-star spa, imported marble and staff who discreetly float down the halls.”
“This is the historic high point of hotels in Denver. The Brown Palace’s doors opened in 1892 and in the 120-plus years of continuous operation, much has stayed the same. The lobby remains one for the ages, with iron grillwork panels surrounding the 8-story atrium on the way up to the ornate stained-glass dome.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Denver.
“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.”

As expected...first class experience.
We didn't have breakfast, but the coffee shop in the hotel is excellent. Great coffee and great selection of milks. The lady who worked there was very knowledgeable and most friendly.
The room was small for two people. Not a lot of room to have two pieces of luggage and two people. Bathroom is very small and no ventalation.

Highly recommend for honeymoon/ romantic getaways
We stayed here for our wedding night and just had the absolute best time. The staff at the tavern made us feel truly celebrated and left us with huge smiles.

Definitely not the best bed in Denver.
The history of the hotel is amazing.
The room we received looked nothing like the pictures. The pictures show an updated room, and ours was not. There were holes in the walls in the bathroom where a towel rack used to be. The tub was half full of water from the leaking shower. I googled best beds in Denver, and I hate to say this, but by far, the worst bed I have ever slept in.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!
Everyone was so polite, attention to detail, and helped me surprise my Fiance as well!! If we didn’t want to leave we wouldn’t have had to, they have everything!
There was nothing I didn’t like about the property

Beautiful, yet over priced, old hotel with very small rooms and uncomfortable beds.
We ate breakfast one morning at the hotel restaurant and it was fabulous. The staff was exceptionally nice. It was a small issue but happened none the less - the wrong cheese was put on my Denver Omlette - the waiter said he would talk to the kitchen. The hotel main areas are beautiful and I loved the piano playing in the evening. Was nice to have an up to date fitness facility to use across the sky bridge. The location is good if you are not going to rent a car - lots of things in walking distance.
This hotel is over priced (maybe it's the location you pay for). The bed was not comfortable. The wi-fi was not free (free to bonvoy members but for what you pay it should be free anyway). The rooms are very small - we stayed in a room for 2 with a king bed - it was a small king. I will not stay here again and will not recommend - I would recommend staying somewhere else and visiting the hotel.

not so hot
it’s a beautiful historic property
A/C cooling unit had gone out for entire floors in days previous to our stay. we were not informed either ahead of time nor at checkin. It was unlivable and we chose not to stay. we were lucky we were local and had the choice. to be fair we were not charged

Staff was SUPER friendly and always addressed us by our names. Our housekeeper was so sweet!
The history of the place. It’s location was nice and within walking distance of places we wanted to go.
The bathroom was too small but understandable for the age of the hotel.

It is a beautiful building and the interior lobby is just gorgeous.
I would have like a few more outlets in the room. I could find the thermostat either so had to sleep in a hotter room than I would have liked.

Our stay there was average
I was very disappointed in the breakfast. I thought my biscuits and gravy would be amazing and it was just ok. Biscuits were very overcooked and the gravy was greasy and almost inedible. Pancakes were just ok.
Service was very slow and seemed flustered

Love the history and staff but will choose something else next time.
history and location
The room wasn’t as expected. There were a few things not up to expectations. the bathroom vanity needed maintenance, the box springs on the bed were just exposed instead of covered. We felt the small maintenance items and things that make a room look a step above we’re not done. We had made reservations to come and do brunch and found out the morning of our stay that brunch wasn’t in the restaurant AND doesn’t have good reviews since it was moved. We canceled that but would have liked that email prior to the day of.

wonderful stay
Exquisite historical building, fabulous decor, fantastic spa, and elegant afternoon tea service (one of the best I’ve experienced )! Fun Cigar and Whiskey bar was like stepping back in time! The room was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable.
