Brown Palace Hotel is the second-oldest hotel in Denver, Colorado and is the first atrium-style hotel ever built. It is now operated by Quorum Hotels and Resorts. It was built in 1892, one year later than the Oxford Hotel. It was named for its original owner, Henry Brown, and was designed with its odd triangular shape by architect Frank Edbrooke.
The hotel is located at 321 17th St, Denver, CO between 17th street, Broadway and Tremont street/Pl in downtown Denver behind the Republic Plaza. The main entrance door is on Tremont street.
Background
Guests included and still include entrepreneurs, legislators, presidents, and foreign officials. Past guests include the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown (she stayed at the hotel only a week after the Titanic disaster), Dr. Sun Yat Sen (just before becoming the president of the new Republic of China), Queen Marie of Romania, the Duke of San Macario, and The Beatles. Presidential guests include Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, Warren Harding, Harry S Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Since its opening, light has poured into the atrium from the stained-glass skylight eight stories above. Afternoon tea is now a custom in the lobby with Denverites and visitors alike listening to a harpist or pianist. The hotel includes four highly rated restaurants: fine dining in the Palace Arms, elegant breakfast and lunch in Ellyington's, casual lunch and dinner in the Ship Tavern, and the members-only Brown Palace Club.
Each year during the National Western Stock Show in Denver, the Grand Champion Steer is taken to the Brown Palace and displayed in the lobby.
The hotel has its own artesian well that provides water to all of the hotel faucets.
