Denver's Finest Hotel
I've traveled to numerous parts of the world, but the Brown Palace Hotel is at the top of the list of the places I've stayed. My father stays at the hotel every other week when he is in Denver on business, so the Brown is practically a second home for him. This was my second time staying at the Brown, but I would recommend the hotel to anyone traveling to Denver. The staff is extremely friendly, well-mannered, and knowledgeable about the hotel, things to do in Denver, etc. The staff knew many of their guests by name and they were always quick to greet and acknowledge anyone passing by. The concierge helped me find a day tour to take to the Rocky Mountains (which I ended up loving) and on my last day, when I called to have someone help me take my bags down, a bellman was at my door within two minutes. The rooms are very nice and the beds/pillows are some of the most comfortable in the world. Between having your beds turned down at night (and a chocolate mint on your pillow) and the variety of fruit, nuts, drinks, etc., left in the room as surprises for frequent guests, it is apparent that quality service/taking care of guests is their number one priority. I also spent a morning at the spa, which was one of the best manicures/pedicures I've ever had. The entire experience was very relaxing and I felt pampered the whole time. The Brown is the perfect location for people staying in downtown Denver and is only a few short blocks away from the 16th street mall, which is filled with restaurants and shops. From former presidents (Bill Clinton) to relatives of former presidents (Maria Shriver at the Democratic National Convention) to heads of state, the Brown has hosted a number of top officials and celebrities on their trips to Denver. High tea (accompanied by a fabulous piano player) is just one of the many offerings available at the Brown and is a treat no one should miss. The Brown is a respected hotel, perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Denver. You won't want to miss a chance to stay at this historic and beautiful hotel!
