Brown Palace Hotel

Operating continuously for more than 100 years, the city’s finest hotel has been the place to stay for anyone who is anyone. It combines elegant and comfortable rooms and a nice list of amenities with all the intangibles: interesting history, romantic atmosphere, regional personality, and impeccable service. Designed with a unique triangular shape by the renowned architect Frank Edbrooke, it was built of Colorado red granite and Arizona sandstone. The lobby’s walls are paneled with Mexican onyx, and elaborate cast-iron grillwork surrounds six tiers of balconies up to the stained-glass ceiling. Just about every president of the last century has visited the hotel, and Dwight Eisenhower made the Brown his home away from the White House. His former room, now known as the Eisenhower Suite, is a vision of stately elegance, with a preserved dent in the fireplace trim that is the alleged result of Ike's errant golf swing. There are also lavish, unique suites named after Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and the Beatles.

Standard rooms are also classic and comfortable, either Victorian or Art Deco in style with reproduction furnishings and fixtures. Each has a desk, a duvet, and a flatscreen TV. The clientele is a mix of leisure travelers and businesspeople with a taste--and a budget--for luxury. The staterooms on the eighth and ninth floors, dubbed “The Top of the Brown,” are especially enticing, with all sorts of extra perks. The water is great here: The Brown Palace has its own artesian wells that feed not only the fountains and taps but the resident spa!
