Brown Palace

Fodor's Review:

This grande dame of Colorado lodging has hosted public figures from President Eisenhower to the Beatles since it first opened its doors in 1892. The details are exquisite: A dramatic nine-story lobby is topped with a glorious stained-glass ceiling, and the Victorian rooms have sophisticated wainscoting and art deco fixtures. The hotel pays equal attention to modern necessities, such as high-speed Web access and cordless telephones. The Churchill cigar bar sells rare cigars and single-malt scotches. In 2005 a $2 million spa was added (in a space that originally held a spa when the hotel first opened), with Swiss showers and a natural rock waterfall that draws from the hotel's artesian well. Pros: sleeping here feels like being part of history, exceptional service, spacious and comfortable rooms. Cons: one of the most expensive hotels in Denver, parking costs extra.
