The only place to stay in Denver
by TripAdvisor Member wildstop
I stayed at The Brown for 4 nights beginning June 8.2006. This was not my first stay. Everything has always been perfect. The staff has fulfilled every request. The bed and bath linens are beyond compare. The evening turn down service is so lovely. The staff is courteous and well informed. ( I don't care to have people fawning over me). The service has always been first class when I have stayed there. The Brown Palace is unique and once you have stayed there you can't go anywhere else. When staying there, I can relax as I can at no other hotel. When traveling, I find you attract the kind of attitude that you give off. I always expect the best at The Brown Palace and I receive it.

I stayed at the Brown Palace for two nights in August. I wanted to stay at this hotel in particular because it is on the national historic register and was touted to have a lot of charm and character. While this hotel is definately not your run of the mill hotel, it was less than overwhelming. Its interior design is very unusual. All rooms open to an 8 story rotunda. At times, a piano player entertains for all to hear...which was charming at first but the doors to the rooms don't block the noise. I had to turn up the television volume to hear it over the piano. The hotel has a lot of potential but it is just lacking that "special something". I heard other guests complaining that the hotel wasn't maintained well. To that end, I noticed a lot of short cut-type repairs or "upgrades" to the hotel that were in stark contrast to the period in which this hotel was constructed. If you aren't prepared to take the stairs to your room or have the patience to wait, don't stay here because the elevator is slow. In fact, one of the two was out of order during my stay.

Denver International Airport is fairly new and about 10 miles or so outside of Denver. We were there two years ago and there were not many/any hotels near it. We stayed at a hotel near the old airport. Most of the hotels in that area run free shuttles to the new airport.

The Brown Palace is downtown - not at all near the airport.
There are many new hotels out by the airport - most are more economy oriented so they do not have dining or bars.
On Tower Road there are quite a few hotels within walking distance of a Bennigans - which has a nice bar area, and many types of beer to choose from. (Food is quite good to!)
I would suggest checking with your local travel agent and specifically look for hotels on Tower Road.
Good Luck, and enjoy your stay in our chilly, but friendly city!
