From the reviews

This is a sanctuary for creativity and class. The architecture is captivating, transporting me immediately to a distinct, historical era. There is a distinct magic in the Brown Palace atrium. It feels like stepping into a time bubble where the modern world fades away.

I have personally stayed at the Brown Palace and had a lovely time. The room was very unique and I did the High Tea and it was super fun. Some people I work for stayed recently and had an unfortunate situation at the restaurant, but I reached out to the manager on their behalf and he made it right for them.

★★★★★ — Brooke, Apr 2026

Absolutely incredible stay. It was my birthday and they brought up a desert to the room. The staff in the restaurant at breckfast remembered us from our previous stay and stopped over to say hello and brought us Champaign at breakfast. The architecture is beautiful. Ship’s Tavern’s food was excellent.

★★★★★ — Noname, Jun 2026

Prime downtown Denver, Colorado location. A touch of history and mystery at the Brown Palace. Built in 1892 this hotel does not skip on charm and intricate decor. Be sure to don your favorite hat and have afternoon tea in the lobby or kick back after a long day in the Tavern. Enjoy!

Getting married at The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection

A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
