Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“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.

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Frommers review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

The building is beautiful, historic and iconic, but the rooms are very small.

Location is within walking distance to many Downtown landmarks....Union Station, the Capitol Building, shops and eateries. The concierge was very helpful.

Overnight parking is only available via valet for $52 per night. That should be advertised on the Booking.com website in advance. The receptionist was texting on her phone throughout my check in process and was very distracted and disinterested in my inquires, thank goodness for the concierge. And one of the elevators was broken. The remaining elevator was very slow. We used the stairs a lot and got lots of exercise.

Very beautiful and elegant hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Food costs are high and valet parking was also a little pricey at $52. There are other cheaper alternatives if you want to drive around to find a public parking ramp. Hallway noise really carry into the room, so if you plan on sleeping in late hope your a sound sleeper.

The hotel is beautiful. For the most part, service was excellent.

Housekeeping was a trifle sketchy. Some things we asked for didn't get to our room. We understood that Covid likely affected staffing levels and therefore the ability to follow through.

It was okay

Overall I like staying at the Brown Palace. I enjoy the cigar lounge and Keith (my server at breakfast). The valet guys were nice - especially Jake.

Although it is a minor thing - when I booked the hotel online it says "free wifi". Then you get an Internet charge for 10.00 per day on your bill. That is stupid.

Breakfast was bigger than expected. If spending more than one night getting a larger room also TV was mainly sports channels when you don't have the Hulu makes it hard to watch tv.

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.
